Sunday Morning Musings, This One Took A While Edition

Good morning ladies and gents.

Happy Sunday y’all. Here’s hoping that you’re all fed and satisfied.

Big ups to E-ve who worked last night and goes back in tonight for the big Grey Cup game on TV.

Also big thanks go out to her super cool co-worker who gave her a lift to the subway station last night after work.

I’ve lucked out and found the best thing on the internet. Are you ready for this? A knock-off of Lemonade Tycoon for free!

This friggin’ day is taking forever. There’s a guy here trying to train a girl that’s tough to train. There are people in and out of the store that aren’t customers because they aren’t buying.

This thing is killer short today.

The day is still crawling. Son of a gun.

Raptors lost the Steve Nash and the Suns. Boo.

Big thanks for lots of love from lots of people.

The snow has started falling in Western Canada. I’m kind of jealous. I don’t know if I’m ready for snow. But it does look pretty on TV.

Okay, time to go.

Have a great afternoon mes amis.

Like wham!

Saturday Morning Musings, Hopes For A Good Day Edition

Hola amigos.

Welcome to Saturday. I hope that everyone got here in one piece.

Big high fives to E-ve who has a long day at work ahead of her. Here’s hoping for big smiles and big tips.

Thanks go out to E-ve for letting me play a whole lot of Lemonade Tycoon yesterday. And I was awesome. I bought all of the upgrades available and got back to $10,000 cash in 8 months. Oh yeah!

Had a good finish to the week in the CBC.ca hockey pool. I am looking for more this week as there are a lot of teams playing 4 games and some good picks on my roster. Go Ducks, Canucks and Blue Jackets.

Huge thoughts of encouragement and positive energy are going out to Jake as he is auditioning for a role in a new production. He’s got talent and I’d be happy to make another trip to Ottawa to see him on stage.

There’s one hockey game on today at 1pm. We’re going to do our best to watch it here in the store. We may have to stream it though since it doesn’t look like it’s going to be available on Canadian TV. Boo!

Ok, so I know that January is still a little ways away. We haven’t even hit Christmas yet. But I’m already trying to come up with a good plan for E-ve’s birthday and I’m getting excited for Chuck to come back. In that order. It’s getting tricky trying to come up with and separate ideas for xmas and birthday, but I’m doing my best. Maybe a Chuck themed cake and awesome spy stuff for the birthday. I’m mostly joking.

Getting excited to crack open the Advent calendars soon. A yummy piece of chocolate each day on the way to presents. How does it get any better?

There’s been a bunch of work done in a short little amount of time here.

Time to check out for the day.

Wednesday Morning Musings, Oh What A Night Edition

Good day my friends.

Here’s hoping that your hump day has gone smoothly so far.

Big ups to E-ve. You wanna know why? Because she’s le awesome.

Good night for me to watch sports last night. I got to see the Toronto Raptors get a win at home against the Pacers of Indiana and also got the see mes Canadiens come back in the 3rd period to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Habs and Raps are both back in action tonight and I’m hoping for more wins. Fingers are crossed and cheers are being sent through the interweb. #gohabsgo will ring strong through Twitter tonight.

It’s been a dreary, rainy day here in the city and it is as dark as midnight outside now. It sucks to be honest.

The big stores have started to advertise some pretty huge sales my friends. If you are in the market for TVs, computers, video gaming systems or anything else of that ilk it may be time to look into them. Good luck.

Excited to sleep in tomorrow.

Watching the fall finale of V right now on the computer. I saw the first half last night, hoping that the second half is fantastic.

I still have cupcakes left at my apartment. I bet you’re all jealous.

I think it’s time to check out for now. I’ll talk to you later y’all. That’s right, I said it.

Tuesday Morning Musings, A Little Later Than Usual Edition

Good day friends, family and faces all over the world.

Big ups to E-ve for continuing her higher education. Bon fait!

Just spent half and hour trying to explain the reason that there is fighting in hockey to my Irish co-worker here. The whole time I felt like I was fighting a losing battle. I’m starting to even wonder myself if there is a real need. I know it won’t go away. And I know that things are better than they used to be as far as that stuff is concerned. But hockey may have just lost a potential fan because of fighting. I wonder how many they have gained because of it… Just something to think about.

I was also just informed that the Irish aren’t taking the loss to France and the hand ball incident well. They have taken to protesting at the French Embassy in Ireland and there are bunches of Facebook groups dedicated to hating the French player responsible (Henry) and demanding that the game be replayed. FIFA has said that they won’t replay the game.

I think that E-ve and I may have now made plans for Christmas and my birthday… that leaves plans for her birthday. I’m gonna have to do something good here my friends. So if you have any ideas please let me know. I have about 6 weeks to get this thing figured out. Thanks.

The Maple Leafs tried their very hardest last night to win their game against the Islanders. But they came up a goal short in overtime. Good effort gents.

I had a fantastic dinner of shwarma and cupcakes last night. The wraps were good with a hint of spice rocking through them. The guy wasn’t joking when he said that it was hot sauce that he had. I also love that he’s a funny dude that told me that I “broke his dreams” when the cupcakes I had weren’t for him.

I have a craving for McDonalds hockey cards. Not so much the food, but the hockey cards.

They say that there could be snow here in Toronto soon. I’m not sure how I feel about that. I know that it will make it feel like Christmas actually is coming. But it also means that I’m going to have to dress for the weather. I’m not sure which I feel is more important.

I’m starting to get a little hyped for the Grey Cup.

The fall finale of the new hit show V airs tonight. If you haven’t been watching I don’t suggest trying to jump in tonight. But I do recommend trying to find the episodes so that you can watch them.

I think that’s it for now peeps. That’s right. I said it.

And if you’re only here this one day a week, see you next Tuesday.

Monday Morning Musings, More Like Evening Edition

Good day y’all.

Sorry we didn’t get on this morning. You know how it is.

Big ups to E-ve for being le awesome. Don’t let her try to tell you any different.

And big ups to YTV for playing 8 Simple Rules and What I Like About You back to back every night.

Thumbs down to all the people that have come into the store and asked silly questions that have done nothing but make my day seem longer.

The AMA’s were on last night. I watched part of Janet Jackson as she opened the show in a terribly ugly outfit and then didn’t go back at all for the rest of the show. It’s the AMA’s. I’m not worried about it.

The Raptors dropped a winnable game against Orlando yesterday. That bums me out a little.

But there were 2 good CFL playoff games and we now have a Grey Cup Final set with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Montreal Alouettes playing for the big mug for the very first time. Calgary is going to be rocking this weekend for certain.

Very proud of my nephew for being a huge superhero geek.

Mes Canadiens have made a trade that surprised the heck out of me. Bob Gainey has sent Quebec native Guillaume Latendresse to Minnesota for Benoit Puoliot. Part of me thinks that Lats is going to have a bunch of success now that he’s going to be out of the spotlight in Montreal. The media and fans wanted this guy to be a hero because he’s got some talent and he’s French. The problem is that it’s not that easy.

It is friggin’ hot in this store. The heat is broken so it just keeps blasting in here. Mon Dieu it’s toasty.

I think it’s time to wrap to things up since it’s way past the morning now.

Have a good night mes amis.

Sunday Morning Musings, Tis The Season For A Bonus

Good morning friends.

Big ups to E-ve for surviving Daddy Z’s Christmas dinner and hang out yesterday. It was a good time with Turkey and the fixings and little kids with presents.

High fives to the Good Lovelies who won the award for best New/Emerging Artist of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards last night. I grew up with one of the girls and was lucky enough to hear her sing with her mother and her sisters at church when we were younger.

Sad to see the Montreal Canadiens lose their first game in overtime/ shoot-out last night. The Detroit Red Wings got out to a 2-0 lead and then sealed the deal in the shoot-out. It was a good effort and I’ll take the 1 point and put it in the bank.

Congrats to the Maple Leafs for picking up their 4th win of the year after knocking off Washington in the shoot-out at almost the exact same time as the Habs were losing. The remote control got a work out for a few minutes.

New Moon has apparently passed The Dark Knight for most money made on opening day. I’m not surprised because the hype was huge for the flick. But a lot of people seem to be taking it personally because they aren’t Twilight people. Oh well.

These 20 Timbits had better last me the day. I don’t plan on going to buy lunch.

Big thanks to the owner man who gave out some cash bonuses last night at the company Christmas party. I’m not sure where the funds will end up, but they are much appreciated.

Big sports day today. NFL and CFL football, NHL hockey and NBA basketball. Vince Carter and the Orlando Magic will be in Toronto to take on the Raptors. Be prepared to hear boos even though it’s been a long time now since he was in a Dino uniform.

Time to get to work for the day. Here’s hoping that everyone enjoys their sunny Sunday.
