it's been a very long couple of days. i think i can blame most of that on the sudden occurance of near-insomnia. i'm not getting to bed until late and once i'm there, i'm tossing and turning an inordinate amount. to make matters worse, i can't seem to sleep in to compensate for the late nights. i'm fairly sure it's just the recent oddness of having to sleep in a different house for three nights and upcoming trip excitement-slash-jitters.
after actually getting my laundry done, meg & i took off for a little shopping excursion in the afternoon. i tried to get a nap in before i started on my homework, but i couldn't even get that kind of sleep accomplished (do you sense some angst?).
tonight, i'm going to drop off my assignment and then skip class to go to meg's to eat chinese and watch the game sevens. three game sevens on the same night! i think someone needs to slap bettman around a little. can i tell you again how much i love the hockey? i love the hockey!
remember that quiz i did i million years ago? remember the question about the thing i'd done that not many people had done? most people thought i'd driven a zamboni, being that i'm canadian and all, but you were wrong! it was actually that i'd driven a submarine! while at mom's i found the photos from that summer's day in 1984 so there's now proof for all you disbelievers out there. hah!
okay, i'm going to try to look busy for the next ninety minutes. wish me luck.
Did I tell you we went to our first family professional hockey game? It's not a major league (hmm, what do they call them - it's like the secondary level, under the big teams, the AHL instead of the NHL, that's it), but the Worcester Ice Cats. They were in the playoffs, and had a game last Friday I won tickets to see. Alas, they lost and were knocked out of the playoffs, but it was fun. I hadn't been to live hockey since I left Buffalo, and the other Wellers had never been. You'll have to come visit again next year when they're playing. ;)
(No, I'm NEVER going to give up trying to convince you to come visit again!)
