Monday Morning Musings, Congrats To CB4 Edition

Good day to you all.

Here’s hoping that your work week has started well so far.

E-ve just fired me a message saying that lunch is crazy slow at the restaurant. So hear this my friends, if you’re hungry and didn’t bring your lunch to work it’s okay to scrape together a few dollars and eat out in January. Just remember to be friendly and tip well.

Big win for the Raptors last night at home against the San Antonio Spurs. I didn’t see that one coming at all. Congrats as well to Chris Bosh who became the all time leading regular season scorer in franchise history. Vince Carter no longer holds the title which is just fine with many Raptors fans. Now everyone is just hoping that this is one more thing that will help to convince CB4 to stay in Toronto after the season is over.

Also in the big win category is Team Canada. The World Junior Championships semi-finals were played yesterday and Canada got a little bit of a lucky break when they got the Swiss instead of Russia after an upset in the quarter-finals. Next up is Team USA in the finals on Tuesday. Canada is gunning for a 6th straight gold medal and the whole country is behind them.

I’m currently fighting off a sore throat, but I haven’t yet run into the cough and congestion that comes with a real cold. I’m hoping that tea and water and such can keep me away from what could come.

E-ve’s birthday is coming this week… so if you see her wish her a happy one even if it is a few days early.

And after we celebrate E-ve’s birthday we get to celebrate Chuck returning to TV. It’s about a thousand clicks down on the planning, excitement and importance meter, but it had to be said.

There is snow on the ground in Toronto after the first real wintery day yesterday. It’s cold again today and has been cold before, but yesterday really felt like winter with the combo of cold and snow.

I think that’s all for now mes amis. My mind kinda went blank for a few minutes.

Have a great day.

Like wham!

Sunday Morning Musings, Really Random Thoughts Edition

Good day y’all.

I hope that everyone has started their Sunday well.

There’s a trending topic on Twitter “#ToBeHonest I” so I chimed in, as I’m apt to do, with: #ToBeHonest I totally love my E-ve.

Best wishes go out to E-ve’s mom who is feeling under the weather today. Everyone hopes that a speedy recovery is in the cards.

That reminds me, the weather is gross right now. The wind is blowing hard from the north and the snow is almost horizontal as it’s coming down.

Also, after writing “speedy recovery” I have an urge to read a bunch of Green Arrow stuff.

And that made me think of Jake who just got Lego Rock Band which reminded me of a terrible and funny from when the commercials for the game first came on TV. At one point there is a rock song playing and the drummer loses an arm… and all I could think was how awesome it would be for the music to blend in to Pour Some Sugar On Me.

I feel a little bad for making the Irish girl at work listen to country music with me, but only a little.

Thumbs down to everyone that I picked for the hockey pool this week. I had the worst Saturday night of the entire season. 3 friggin’ points is all I picked up from a roster of 10 skaters and 2 goalies.

Thumbs are also down to the Toronto Raptors. I love those guys, but losing in Boston last night was bad. We had the chances, man power and momentum on our side and we blew it. Now we have to play the Spurs tonight, a good team, and hope for a miracle.

I think I have my Hallowe’en costume picked out for this year.

The rent is late and needs to be paid today. It’s in my pocket. I need to stop on the way home. Please remind me.

Big ups to E-ve for watching Superman/ Batman: Public Enemies with me last night. It’s the 3rd time I’ve watched it since Jake sent it for Xmas.

Also, if you know Romeo and you know the textsfromlastnight website, there’s one on there from the last 2 days that could very well have been sent from his phone, or could come from it someday in the future.

Here’s hoping that you all have a great day. Stay warm and safe.
