Next Time I Will Open My Eyes a Little Wider - Study On Little Buddy

Champ Car

Thankfully Steve took the time to make sure he got a photo of ther Grand Prix girlies.

Condo Construction

2nd Worst Job Ever

Well - my stint at retail will thankfully be ending in 3 more days. I would never do anything like that again... Then it will be a day off for Heritage Day and then back to the bank to time some more stuff. More updating in 3 days as I am exhausted and am going to crawl into bed.

Work Stretch of Death

No pic today! Mom - Steve loved your post and so did I! You should've told us about Chyna's birthday - we celebrated Daisy's with a few cans of soft food to which she isn't used to. I bought Daisy a dog gate today so hopefully the gate will give her enough room without feeling trapped and naughty. I left her alone for a few hours this afternoon while Steve and Mike were golfing and Daisy found some muffins left in Steve's work bag. I am now starting my 5 weeks of hell. I am catching up from taking a spring class and not working. I will be working Monday thru Monday (10-6 this week until friday and then every day after that 8-4 until July 31st ) This is on top of Wednesdays 9pm - 3am and Saturdays 9pm - 3am... I will be working for what will seem like forever for 5 weeks to catch up. I will miss Steve and our 2 year anniversary mostly to work. I won't be home before 6pm on that night. Throw in soccer Tues/Thurs/Sun on top of bar work W/Sat and no days off for the next five weeks when I work pretty much 8 -4 and have to be up in time to be there by 8am and you realize that I will be up by 6am every morning and I wont be homew by 5pm at best... long days but I am trying to make the best of my last year and the future thought of loan payments. I hope Steve can deal with my work overload...

Disappointment

Well... we lost to the Lady Rangers... didn't suppose it would happen but sometimes I get superstitious, or maybe I get superstitious a lot about talking about stuff with expectations for things that haven't happened yet. If I think I nailed a test I did bad - if I think we should cream a team that was unimpressive (first example Spruce Grove) we don't pull it off. So far all we are doing is making it close for the top teams and divided for the middle of the table. We actually do have a better record so far compared to last year when we went the first 6 or 7 without a point... but by second round we had turned it up and we haven't seen that yet.

Practice was pretty good for a non-coaching effort. Heidi stop being so hard on yourself! We will pull it together I know we always do but it has to be pretty quick here. Keltie is not kidding in saying that beating Northwest is killer!!!!!!!!!!!

Work is the same torture as last summer except now I am making less money - I have to drive a crapload further - and I am working entire weekends with no days off and double days to compensate. Sorry if my intensity varied tonight from on to off. I wanted to make myself work hard all the time but I was a bit tired from the new work week and didn't give a billion percent. I have yet to have a game this season where I felt into it except for the brief period I got to play offensive Mid. That was pretty good. Too bad I duffed my best chance to put us in the lead right before the end of the first half. All in all we didn't play bad but we didn't make the most of our talent and options.

Mom - I started work and haven't taken in your cheque request yet - I will probably go tomorrow morning if I take Steve to work before I go.

Here are some Daisy - Chyna Pics - and Mom - here is a pic of the three of us...

Enough with Shauna

I've been to Grande Prairie and back and those crazy bastards throw their fireworks at midnight on the day of Canada Day rather than at midnight on July 1st/2nd - so despite working on Thursday the 31 St and getting home at 3:30am and then having Steve drag me out of bed to drive to GP at 5:30am I still missed the fireworks because they were holding them while I was sucking in smoke on the last night ever for smoking in bars!!! That is something to celebrate in any case!!!!

Felt good to rip that goal in against my old team last Tuesday. Sorry I missed Mel's big camping/birthday bash. Happy Birthday Mel - and Amy too. Hey Mel - Huy didn't even say good game to me... We better win tomorrow against the Lady Rangers - they didn't impress me the first time out and I'm hoping we'll spank them this time around. Welcome back Tammy!
