Taking my talents to the Moose

After an absolutely crazy week last week, I took the weekend to relax. It gave me some time to think. I've actually been thinking a lot lately about what I want to accomplish before I hit 30. I'd like to be taller. Not really tall, just a little taller. I've started stretching (vertically, of course). I will chart my course and keep you, my loyal readers, up-to-date.

Lots of people have been talking to me about my blog lately. I'm not ready to start the fan club just yet, but it's a great conversation piece. Thing is, the conversation inevitably leads to everyone asking for a mention in the blog. And then I smile and nod and say no problem. But now that I'm a celebrity (read: first-time blogger desperate for interested readers), I can't just mention everyone. A mention has to be earned. You can also just be nice to me.

I did not win the $50 million Lotto Max jackpot this weekend. It's amazing that I go through the same thought process every time I buy a ticket. It's a four stage process:
1. I slowly but surely convince myself that there's no reason I couldn't win this time.
2. Then I start to think about some of the things I'd do with the money.
3. Phase 3 is when the draw is just an hour or so away and I have now convinced myself that this week is actually likely to be my winning week and start to work on my reactions. I've settled on the slow OMG's to start, building up into consecutive "Holy shit's" and finally running around in circles wherever I am.
4. The 4th phase is where I lose and come crashing back down to Earth. Just want to be clear that this phase is the worst one.

There you have it. Three phases of hope and one of reality. Too bad only the last one counts. The others are much more awesome.

Signs I'm approaching 30: I get really upset with myself if I forget to pack a fat-free pro-biotic yogurt for my 3:30 snack.

I've made a decision for this upcoming season. This is hard...I'm going to take my talents to Wednesday nights with the Moose. I will now be a Moose on Wednesday and a Beaver on Thursdays and Sundays.

Big win in 3-on-3 hockey tonight with playoffs starting next week. Team is on a roll heading into the playoffs. Would love to take home the championship. We don't get diamond encrusted championship rings, but we do get vouchers at the Thirsty Penguin that we can use towards some food and drinks. Talk about something to play for.
