Song of the Day:
Children Go Where I Send Thee by Natalie Merchant

Our Christmas cards this year directly reflect my sense of humor.  I think they are extremely funny, but others might think
meh.  They also prove just how much B loves me.  Seriously.  I took initial photos last night and you can see in his eyes that he's just humoring me.  I laughed so much. Not because he looked ridiculous - he didn't - it's just the idea of the photo and the fact that I created (most) everything by hand.  It also makes me very giddy that my husband even agreed to the whole idea.  He did, however, draw the line at wearing tights.

Here is an
article about the woman I mentioned the other day.

B got to go on the ice before the Winter Hawks vs. Everett game on Saturday night to present a player with a monthly award.  I will see about putting the photo on my flickr page when they give it to us.

I'll also put the Christmas photo up after the cards are sent. Which, at this rate, will be around Valentine's Day.

Now that I'm looking at my newest header, I think I should have used
this photo instead.   I might end up switching it.

Song of the Day:  Criminal by Fiona Apple

Tying up loose ends:
PSAs
When at work and you email a reply to someone's question, please do not sign your email with the word "Thanks." There is no need to thank the person you are answering as you are expecting nothing from them.  In fact YOU are helping THEM, so THEY should be thanking YOU.  Thanks!

When singing the national anthem (or anthems) at a hockey game - do not doddle. This is not an American Idol audition.  There are no record studio bigwigs in the audience looking for the next "star." Speed it up!  You're at a hockey game where the fans (read: me) can get violent if they do not get their fix.

Spices vs. Herbs
If it is a plant (ie Oregano, Chives, Parsley, etc.) it is an herb.  Flavors such as Cumin, Paprika, Garlic Powder, etc. are spices.  I don't care what
this link says. 

Doctor Dre vs. Dr. Dre
Doctor Dre, the rotund one from Yo! MTV Raps is not the same as Dr. Dre the rapper.  For real, yo.

Finally, the curse is over.  I successfully hit the puck INTO the net and won a ham on Saturday night.  I expect to be drafted by  my
other favorite team shortly and will be the first female in the NHL. No, I will not give you any money you money grubbing freeloader.  I will, however, buy you an Aston Martin and a week's worth of blow. Only because I don't want you selling my secrets to the media. 

I almost forgot, I got stuck in the rundown elevator at work last Friday and totally thought I was going to plummet to my death.  That POS was vibrating and the doors would not open.  I did not, however, wet myself which I consider a vast improvement.

Song of the Day:
SexyBack by Justin Timberlake

Things I think about:
1. It's an injustice of almost criminal proportions that I do not have diplomatic immunity.
2. It's an injustice of a smaller scale that I do not at least have armed body guards with me at all times who have pistol-whip-at-will instructions.
3.  It should be illegal to put calories on a food/drink item AND THEN divide the package into more than one serving.  If a product has 1500 calories in the package then it should bloody say 1500 calorie. Don't give me this 600 calories per serving crap.
4.  Our company has the best print company ever. They brought me a Starbucks card for Christmas in addition to the cold cut tray they gave to the office. Score!

Song of the Day:
Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late) by Alvin & the Chipmunks

You know you're going to have a good day when you get to work, start doing your morning routine and realize your sweater is on inside out. 

Have you have ever wondered if one day you'll wake up from a coma and realize everything in your life was all a dream?  Kind of like the Matrix, I suppose.  I had that thought this morning.  Before the sweater incident.

I have tomorrow and Friday off and Brad's brother (the one who lives in DC) is bringing his family out for Christmas, so I don't know when I'll update next.

Merry
Christmas, Happy (rest of) Chanukah, and have a great Kwanzaa.  May you always have peace and love.

Today I had the pleasure, nay honor, of binding a paper on Napoleon Bonaparte for the Elitist's son.  By the way, you (not the elitist) are not fooling anyone by rolling up the OFFICE newspaper, putting it in your pocket and going to the bathroom.  We all know you're taking it in there.  Stop it!  That's a communal paper - you want something to read while you take a dump then bring a book from home.

I'm just in a bad mood because of the latest
Winter Hawk trade.  We traded an elite player for two 16-year olds - the best of the two hasn't even committed to play in the WHL. I'm really tired of this "rebuilding" excuse that we've been hearing for the past few seasons.  Although, there are glimpses of what will be with the young team, it sure would be nice to not have our asses handed to us almost every game.
