Catching up....

Well I am a week behind on things to write about, so I will go back to next weekend later today, but for now, It is HOCKEY TIME! woo hoo!!! Yesterday the Ducks got clobbered by the Buffalo Sabres, however, in recent years the two teams seem to trade off, ie, they win, we win, they win, we win...well our last meeting, I believe we won, but the downside is, we played them on opening day for ours and their hockey season, which means we are now 0-1.

If all goes well today for the Anaheim Ducks, they will be 1-1, which would be an okay record to come back to the states with.  Perhaps Santa didn't like them eating his Reindeer while in Finland?? Don't know, can't say, but it's a good theory. Or maybe doing the sauna to the cold ocean thing froze up some important mojo to get moving on the ice? Don't know, can't say, but a decent theory.  Either way, the teams needs to step it up today as they take on the New York Rangers in Sweden.  The top line needs to find their footing and their scoring prowess and the defense? Yeah, stop hanging your goalie out to dry, I thought you all got over that last season??

The best part of today though isn't just the game, it's the mini watch party we have going on at the Home of the Canterbury Tails (yes, Tails, for the cats, not Tales for the long bazillion word poem. :).  We have waffles en route, and breakfast with some of the peeps to celebrate the second day of the Ducks hockey season...What better way is there to start the weekend?

Happy Saturday to all and may your weekend not fly by!

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

The single person's guide to Valentine's Day.

Are you single and fretting over Valentine's? Maybe you're becoming increasingly depressed, or blue, because you keep seeing those jewelry commercials on television, or those candy commercials?  Or your friend's or coworkers keep telling you their plans, or hopes of a potential special moment? Well, I am here to virtually hug you and to tell you, it will be okay.  First, don't begrudge your friend's or coworkers their happiness.  Smile sincerely and be happy for them.  Being happy for them, will make you feel better and will increase your outer (yet invisible) glow.  Hey, you might glow so brightly, you could end up with a Valentine's date if you go to Happy Hour on a Friday night.  Now, how do you get over yourself and move beyond the stigma, that is kind of self-imposed, of being single on Valentine's day?  Take your power back and put you first.  There are a million and ten places open on Valentine's day.  Severa...

Need a tip? Don't let Social Media kill your self-esteem.

This is my fifth draft on this subject and I find that the more I rewrite this, the less redundant I seem to become.  I'm also a little less cynical, since my first draft. I am trying to take the more positive approach to life, what can I say? New Year's Resolution? Probably, but that's a topic for another day. So, let's get to the nitty gritty of the subject line.  Do you ever feel like you are ignored or 'not worthy' when on Twitter?  Maybe even Facebook?  I have a friend that does when it comes to Twitter.  Yeah, okay, it's me, but Facebook isn't my problem, in fact, I know personally 99% of my Facebook Friend's, because I don't just friend anyone, which is also why I don't look like I have many friend's on there. *shrugs*  Besides, that's what Twitter is for... From time to time I like to comment or retweet things I see.  I don't expect a response or a like, but when I don't get one, I think 'Oh Crap, did I ...
