Helluva Week

Thank God it is Friday!  I've had one helluva week.  The emotional drain from Monday and all the 2996 entries carried through the entire week.  Along with so much drama and bullshit at work, the week couldn't end quick enough!  I really can't go into details here, as co-workers do read and I am not going there!  Lets just say it HAS to get better, right?  Thirteen years there and I will not let this crap turn me sour.  Not if I can help it!  Hopefully Monday will start with the sun shining and the new week will shine bright.  Thought this graphic was soothing and it surely calmed my frazzled nerves.

 

No word on the strike at my son's job.  Still rumbles and rumors.  Typical contradictions in cases like this.  He'll just have to wait it out, and save his money!  Christmas is coming and I'm expecting big things.  ROFL!!!!!  Mr. Moneybags    To clarify something I wrote in an earlier entry about our heart to hearts.  It's not that we had a rift between us.  It's just that he is a 20 year old living on his own.  Mom doesn't need to know everything.....   When he was growing we were extremely close.  Then he hit his teen years and that just wasn't cool.  Didn't matter that his friends liked me, he hated it.  Having a close relationship with 'mom' was not cool around his buddies, it was private.  We always joked, poked fun, wrestled (yes even when he was a teen- hell we still do!), and had good talks, no secrets.  It's just now he is at the age where it is back to not being so private with me, if that makes sense. 

 

As you've noticed by my previous entry, Thursday was such a bright spot in the week.  Hell, in my life.  Sounds corny to some of you, I'm sure, but I mean it.  All my interactions with Ste have been extremely special, but this was an experience I will treasure my entire life.  Ste, you rock!  Thanks babes!

 

No major plans for the weekend.  I will be heading downtown tomorrow to the hockey arena.  Oh yes, training camp has started and I am stoked!!  First pre-season game is Monday, seems like forever since I've seen my boys!!   There is an open practice tomorrow morning and they will be unveiling their new logo.  I will be going after the fiasco!  LOL  There have been reports they expect close to 20,000 there.  I'm not sure that will transpire, but since I'm only going to get a new t-shirt I will wait.   The new logo has caused some controversy.  Originally our colors were blue and gold.  Then in the mid 90's they changed it all up, logo and colors to black, red, and white.  Folks wanted blue and gold.  Well, we got blue and gold but there have been major complaints about the logo.  Folks are calling it the slug.  My opinion is, and has been, I don't care what is on the jersey but what is in them.  And I don't mean cute guys,,, but it doesn't hurt :)~   I mean talent!  Anyway, bits and pieces have been leaked but we get to see the uniform in its entirety tomorrow.  I absolutely love the blue and gold and will get over the slug, or  the Barney Rubbles toupee, no doubt.  I never liked the current one... it reminded me of a mad goat head!   Soooooooooo yes I will go and get a t-shirt... or two.  I will wait on a jersey for a bit... I have an original and the goat head, I don't need another just yet. 

 

EDIT:  Someone asked for a picture.  This is what was leaked and on the net.  The blue looks a bit distorted and the pictures are not great but it will give you and idea.
