Hockey has me by the arse!

Yes it happens, you walk the walk, you talk the talk and eventually you turn into the people you work or live with. I dont think I was this dedicated to any sport like I am to hockey! Watching the habs loose to Toronto last night was a turning point in my Sports-Loving Career. Now as I type this, the New jersey Devils JUST tied a pivotal game with the New York Islanders with ONE FREAKIN SECOND left in the game!!!! How bizarre is that?? They are still arguing over it but now its down to a 5 minute game to decide if the Leafs will get 8th spot or it goes to the Islanders.

The five minute game came and went with no decision so it came to the shootout and the Islanders won. Oh well...Toronto can start golfing early.

This past weekend was spent getting over a bad cold so I really was too miserable to go anywhere till today. (Sunday) My cousin Wendy invited us over for an early afternoon easter dinner so at least I got to go somewhere in the past three days:)

Tomorrow starts another work week and I hope really hope it goes fast. Those of you who work with me know why...I wont bore the rest of you with the details.

Seeing as this is a photoblog...I better post the latest pictures that my camera has taken. So we had a visitor at work last week and we had to get dressed up (again), so the photo opportunity was there. How I got wedged in the back between my manager and my supervisor, i will never know:


And of course I had to ham it up for the photographer:



Due to the fact that we managed to get more snow for Easter than we did for Christmas, I have a feeling that Spring will be here soon.

The end of March

Can you believe it? Im giddy just thinking about the upcoming boating/summer season...especially when I see the melting ice in the big lake! It's hard to grasp the concept that I have watched the ice slide out of the north channel 47 times now!

After spending 6 hours shopping on Saturday, just in the attempt to find something 'dress-up' for work today, it turns out that our special guest that was to arrive at our call center this morning, backed out! Guess I will have to go shopping again soon:) But I must say, for someone who hates to shop, I had a great time with my friend Louise on Saturday.

So I thought we had better take a picture of myself and my 'boys' today while we were all dolled up:

Wish I could get rid of that double chin faster....

Coronation Street is on so I must run!

Im back

And I have absolutely no excuse for not posting in almost 3 months except for the fact that I have been busy with work and the radio station trying to keep a clean house. Oh, and adhering to a new eating plan. So far this year I have lost 30lbs and Billy has 31lbs off. He is doing Atkins (modified) and I started Weight Watchers on January 27th, after giving up on Atkins as it was making me feel shaky without any sugar.

Instead of going backwards in time, I will move forward with this blog. There are many 'before' pictures of the two of us in the archives so you may notice the difference in the two of us. This picture was taken by my friend Colette at the Legion a few weeks ago as we enjoyed the Sunday morning breakfast.




My radio show on Amherst Island has become the highlight of my week. I have a group of friends who have no fear of being on the air with me. They are all kind enough to bring some different kinds of tunes with them as well as their sense of humour. Last night my buddy Weezie and her husband Mike came over and I swear we just laughed for three hours straight. Here is a picture of Louise and I playing 'air-fiddle/violin'!



and a semi-normal picture of Louise and I:


and Mike and Louise:


and Mike and I:


Tonight is a big night in my house ... the stinkin' habs are playing the Leafs so it will no doubt be a loud evening.

So here's to those who actually read this blog and commented that they 'missed' it.
