~ The Boys did it Again ~

Yeap, they won again.  I won't say they are on a winning streak, but they are on a roll and getting back into things.  The way my boys are suppose to play.  :)

 

Maxie didn't score tonight, but he was 'Mad Max'.  Making plays and feeding the puck to the right place, the right player, and in the net.  YEAH baby!!   They on their way to Montreal to play the second in the back to back.  Lets hope they can keep the roll going.

 

Too tired to do a play by play.  I did the graphic and then got carried away on other things.  Couldn't let it go to waste.....  LOL 

 

Hope ya'll had a great Friday.

~ Tradition ~

    

ROFLMAO!!!  I could not help myself when I looked around the room last night.  I had to grab my camera and get these shots.  I'm sure it's a tradition at everyone's house.  After a huge meal, naps are in order.   Look familiar to anyone?  Did you see this at your home last night?  :::giggle:::

 

Another tradition... shopping the day after Thanksgiving.  Not I!  There is no deal worth me getting up at 3 am and standing in line in the blustery weather only to find there were only 3 items in stock anyway.  Anyone out there bold enough to venture out?  Did you get what you wanted?

 

I did sleep in a bit and then got up and did some errands around the house.  I made a new sidebar graphic getting ready for the next holiday.  Now I just need to motivate myself to get my gift list in order and get out and shop.  I have $100 gift card that I received from work.  For my 15 years with the company that was my gift.  Not bad, eh?  Surely came at the right time.  I know it's supposed to be for me, but this is what I want to do with it.  A few extra gifts under the tree will make me happy.

 

Hope everyone is having a great day today, I was lucky enough to have the day off ...........

They called for a winter storm to blow through here last night/early this morning.   All we got was rain.  And I mean rain!  I woke up to my front lawn being a pond.  We were lucky, there was no water in the basement.  By the time we went to leave for my sisters the snow had started.  Just pretty little white flakes dancing to earth.  Here and there you could see white pockets on the ground, but it wasn't threatening in any way, shape, or form. 

 

Dinner was great.  Tons of food, but then there has to be when you have a ton of people.  Turkey, tators, stuffing, corn, sweet tators, candied yams, cranberries, you name it we had it.   I got my full of black olives as well.  No, I did not put them on my finger tips this year, but I did eat a ton.  Most likely a whole can myself :)~  Pies and coffee soon followed.  We were stuffed to the brim.  The comfy chairs were soon filled and sleepy heads decorated the rooms. 

 

There were smiles, laughs, and good stories.  I have pictures to prove it and thought I'd share.  The fire was roaring and with the oven lit it was way to warm to have my hair down, so up it went.  I should just cut it off.... but I won't.  When I left I was glad I had it.  The temps dropped and my car was coated in a layer of ice.  It was nice to have the main down the back of my neck to keep me warm LOL

 

I do hope everyone had a great day........

~ Just Tuesday ~

        

Work was pretty good today.  It wasn't the easiest getting up and moving, but I made it.  I will have to admit they took care of things for me while I was out.  The switchboard operator cut my calls off at the pass.  Not one voice mail after a week.  My desk was clean except for several cards left for me.  I had checked email from home and took care of what needed to be done or passed it on and the rest I caught up on today.   I was pretty much in a cloud, but made it all day without a tear.  Lots of hugs, but no tears.   ::patting myself on my back::

 

Most know I'm close to the Canadian border.  The Canadian dollar is now worth more then the US dollar.  First time in a very long time.  Not far from my home is a fairly large mall.  Over the past few weeks the mall has been full of shoppers.  Sure holiday shopping has started but this has been ridiculous.  I have to say 80% of the cars have Ontario license plates.  What is more ridiculous is the trash in the parking lot.  I am not talking your everyday trash of fast food bags, cups, cigarette butts.  I am talking clothes and shoes.  I will not say all Canadian's are doing this, but lots are.  They buy merchandise at the store and then go to the parking lot and remove what they had on and put the new items on to avoid paying the duty when crossing back over the border, leaving the discarded items right there where they parked.  Some are wearing layer upon layer to avoid the duty.  Local news has interviewed several and they openly admit it.  'Everyone is doing it, it is common knowledge.'  Why not take the items to Goodwill?  Or put it in one of the many trash cans nearby?  Again, not saying all are doing it.  I'm just disgusted with those that are.  Come here and spend your money, that's fine.  Take your trash home or do something productive with it.  Can you imagine how bad it will get the closer it gets to Christmas?  GRRRRRRR

 

One day down and three to go.  Looking forward to Friday.  I will be taking my niece to the hockey game.  Last time we went we won 7-3.  Yeah baby!!!  Maybe their good luck charm will do a shout out and get them back on track.  We need a few wins!! 

 

Well, this evening went by fast and it's time to get moving.  Hope everyone is doing good.   I will be turning on alerts a few at a time.... looking forward to catching up with all of you.

~ Back to Work ~

 I really don't have much to say today, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.  I took today off and did some things around the house.  One of the things I wanted to do all summer but never found the time or really felt like it was going through the old clothes that don't fit and get rid of them.  I have no idea why I save things.  I understand holding on to smaller sizes as you always think, 'some day I will get back in to them.'  These were clothes too large.  You'd think I'd want them out of sight as soon as possible.   Needless to say I eliminated about 3 large trash bags of clothes.  My dresser and closet are much more organized.   My niece took a few things, some went directly into the trash, and the rest will go to Amvets or Goodwill.  I will most likely drop them off in the next day or two.  You wouldn't believe how much still had tags.  GRRRRRRRR  always intending to return them and never did.  At least my niece got some of those. 

 

Did get out and ran to the store today.  At least it wasn't mid afternoon by the time I put a brush through my hair.  LOL  Just picked up a few groceries and made Sloppy Joe's for dinner.  Exciting, right?  NOT!

 

Back to work tomorrow and hoping my desk isn't buried.  Or maybe I hope it is so I can get lost in work.  Doing ok, but I am still in a bit of a fog.  Maybe being around my co-workers (good and bad) will be good for me.  Time will tell. 

 

Boring entry I know........... just trying.   Hope everyone is doing ok.  I will be around soon.
