I'm trying not to go crazy with all the hockey stuff since I don't have a whole lot of hockey people on my list. Bear with me and I'll try to post about other stuff sometimes ( Read more... )

Post-It notes are one of the greatest inventions in modern history.

There are some kids in the neighborhood that apparently have no parents. For the last few days they've been ringing our doorbell and trying to sell us miscellaneous junk. The first time they tried to sell my husband some used toys. Yesterday they asked him to donate money to their school, but had no forms or papers or anything. The kicker to me ( Read more... )

As I was locking the front door on my way out of the house, I heard a lot of skittering around from the trees right next to the front porch. I figured it must be squirrels, but I took another look when I heard an angry bird. I've become a bit of an amateur bird watcher lately, so I wanted to know what kind of bird it was. A bit bigger than a ( Read more... )

Yesterday I drove into the parking lot of a grocery store, where I planned to pick something up for dinner. I turned down an aisle to look for a spot, behind a gigantic SUV. About halfway up the aisle, the SUV stopped. A guy got out of the passenger side, apparently being dropped off by the driver. Fine. I have some patience. The passenger ( Read more... )

Over the weekend I watched The Devil Wears Prada, starring Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep. I am still not entirely sure what I think of it. It had some good points and bad points. [No spoilers here.]

Good:
Meryl Streep was awesomely creepy. Not creepy in a horror movie sort of way, but creepy in a heartless kind of way. Also creepy in that I ( Read more... )

Congratulations to the Detroit Red Wings on a great series win this morning at 1 freaking thirty Eastern Daylight Time. I should thank you for not going to FOUR overtimes like some other teams. In any case, keep going! Now that the Lightning are out, my loyalties are not divided and I can cheer completely for the Wings. Whooooo hoooooo ( Read more... )

Before the NHL playoffs started I made some predictions for the first round. Let's see how things are going so far.

Still possible. Buffalo is up 3-1. If they win tonight (and I think they will) my prediction will be 100% accurate.

I'm kind of pissed off. I went to news.yahoo.com earlier this morning. I often go to that site to read Dear Abby advice columns. However, I was not too happy about what I saw on the front page of the Yahoo! news page. It was a large photo of Seung-Hui Cho pointing a gun directly at the camera. I knew that the Virginia Tech story would be front ( Read more... )
