What The Heck Happened Me!?

To make a long story short.

1. Thought I was going to sell my house to buy a "new" house that we have been wanting for years. Knowing we need to sell it quickly for top dollar in this market to be able to afford the other house scared me to death.

2. Bought a Wii. In fact here it is telling Saber she is obese LOL



3. Realized we aren't going to sell our house to buy that one thanks to a change in the minimum credit score.

4. Went to Beaman Park with Gaby. Wish you could have made it too Beth!



5. Bought a "new" camera (You know to lessen the blow of not getting the house. It worked too. :) )



6. Went to a Predators game with my friend. And they WON!










7. Selling our house to rent and save money to build the house of our dreams. Anyone want a house?

8. Losing a couple of my schools and getting some others. I hate getting close to people then having to be reassigned. Of course you get to meet new people, but you will always miss your past people. Right Beth!?

9. Been on the Wii every day for 2 weeks and STILL haven't really lost weight! I lost some and gained it back. Starting to gradually loose some again.

And most recently...

10. Sat in traffic this morning. It took an hour what would normally take 15-20 minutes. It took me 45 minutes to drive 3 miles! It wasn't a fun morning, but luckily the rest of the day was fine.



I will announce the winner of my anniversary drawing this weekend. Stay tuned!

A Hockey Game and a Four Year Old

Thursday my brother (Joey) and sister-in-law (Leslie) invited me to go to the Nashville Predators game verses Colorado. Mason and Makayla came too. Have you ever been to a hockey game with a 4 year old? She had so many questions.

Makayla – “What are they doing?”

Me – “They are taking a break.”

I explained to her that we were on TV and how when that red light is on it mean we need to take a break for the commercials. I wasn’t sure if she understood, but she accepted my explanation.

Makayla – “What happened?”

Me – “He got in trouble for making the other team fall down.”

The Preds scored in the first period causing the big horn to go off. Everyone jumped out of their seats and screamed our favorite score song which goes something like this “I don’t know what it is about the Predators scoring, but I like it. I love it. I want some more of it…” I had grabbed Makayla and danced around with her hoping she couldn’t make out some of the words. Unless you’ve been to a Preds game you wouldn’t understand. It comes with the territory we are supposed to make fun of the other team. What can I say? We know how to have fun.

Makayla then starts talking about how good we are and cheered some team on called Prelallers. I don’t know who they are but they had her full support.

The second period brought some confusion. We were closest to our goal tender in the 2nd and the Avalanche were swarming our net. Makayla, used to the first period starts screaming. “Go team! Get the ball!” then something about scoring and I busted her bubble by telling her we didn’t want them to score in that goal right now. We needed to score in the one “down there”. “Oh,” she said. I told her they swapped places and that’s when things clicked. She played soccer in the fall and said “Like my team?” That’s when it hit me. She does get it! How cool is that!?

Many sweet questions and a few “Is it over yets” later the game came to an end. We beat them 3 to 2. Gnash came out on the 4 wheeler and rode around. We went to the glass so that Makayla could see him up close.

If you look closely you can see the reflection of her excitement in the glass.

Thank You Eklund and Julie! More of Game 4

For your public kind words. Nashville has a bad wrap because most people think southern states don't deserve a hockey team.

Julie and Eklund seemed to really enjoy the game. They have a blog on HockeyBuzz.

Here are more pictures...

Game 6 here we come! I will be there with my husband.

Game 4 and Game 5 Preds vs Wings **Warning Pics Galore!**

This was supposed to be posted Friday, but my internet went down for the count. Thanks to AT&T for NOT coming out after I called it in. Even 4 days later. It is sheer luck that it came back up.

Game 4 3 - 2 Predators won. See pictures below. This is what the game was like...

Game 5... It would have helped had the predators showed up for the game before the 3rd period. It is like they were just sitting back watching the Red Wings crush their team mates in to the boards. Thank you Ellis, Suter and Bonk for keeping us in the game.

This hillbilly (see "Some People's Children!") had so much fun Wednesday night at the hockey game. The Sommet was packed and loud! This the first play offs game that I've been to that we won and I hope it isn't the last for this year (missed Game 3 in person).

They had fun with Chelios saying we are Hillbillyish. This is what they did when he got a penalty.
Gnash even wrote me this late note for Thursday. Thank you Predators for a great night! (got the note from predators.nhl.com)
During warm up fans can hang out around the boards and watch and take pictures of their favorite players.


Ellis and Bonk doing their pre game ritual.
It is game time!Governor Phil Bredeson and his wife dropped the puck for the "face off". They are famous around here for holding the sign "Get your damn hands of my team" at a Predators Rally before they were bought by the local group. Needless to say we love our Governor! :D

I love our Jumbotron this year... Wow! Huge inprovement from the one that hung there for the first 9 years.

Is it our turn yet?Rally rags!

After a goal. I would love to know what Radulov said to Arnott. Ha ha ha!

I will post more pictures later.

Mary, I wish the Aves good luck for tonight. They only need one more game! :)

Some People's Children!

I hate sterotypes!

"Nashville's fans just go bonkers when the Red Wings come to town. It's like they are at a Toby Keith concert with free Milwaukee's Best."

See the full article at ESPN.

Puhlease! At least get it right! It is a Hank Williams Jr. concert with free Bud Light! Plus what they don't know is we are like that at nearly every game especially when it is the play offs.

One of the Red Wings players has already called us "Hillbillish" (LOL He must not have ever traveled too far from Detroit). What is next we don't wear shoes, have any teeth, marry our bothers and play the banjo on our front porch?

I'll be going bonkers tonight with all the 17,000 other hillbillish fans screaming my head off like I'm at a Hank Williams Jr. concert and theres free Bud Light.
