OK....so everyone knows that deep down inside I am a hockey geek....and it most likely dates back to my Sophomore year in College...when I was dating this sweet Delt...who had a frat brother named Lloyd Calloway....who was a major cutie! (and yes...if he ever Googles his name...here he will be going "no way!") Well, all it took was seeing him coming back from a practice just once (yes...even though he smelled) and heading for the shower...and I was hooked!!!! As we all know.... I contuined to dip my feet into the hockey water after that...but the outcome was rather negative. Anyhow....so....I have the warped idea that I am an expert in the sport...I watch it...I am from a cold area...I like to hit things....and I fit well into a hockey bag (also found that out Sophomore year on a trip for Donavan Hall to Haggin Hall in a certain Goalies bag....pewwe! and the stairs hurt quite a bit!). But if I could...I would so suit up and try to play. Too bad I am in Kentucky....and you just don't play hockey in KY....oh well..perhaps when I get back to the Motherland :) So of course I should be good at any hockey video game that comes out...right???...well it turns out that I am not.....I do believe my dreams of the NHL were shattered by a 15 year old kid on Saturday afternoon...how sad.......that almost sums up my weekend.

In other news, work has offically turned into a circus. I do not know what is going on with some of the people making decisions....so I just walk into the office smiling everyday and hope no one notices. However, we did have our off site meeting yesterday...and of course, like every other time we all get together...there was lots of drinking afterwards :P I did hear a story about a new girl...too much drinking....falling over the bar...pics of her underware.....and passing out..having to be put into the car by an ex-federal agent..so on and so on......however, being the lamo that I am....I left after 2 drinks and headed to Pilates class. I cannot believe I missed that one! Well...there is always FRIDAY! Hehehehe....good times...good times.

On a more personal note...I have a new mission... to find a cure for CVID...which someone I know has......however...I am finding it hard to find any info on it. I have known this person for years....and always thought something was wrong with them...to the point where it bothered me.....so I kept asking them...until I finally drove them up the wall and found out this weekend. Now...I think it would be fair to say that I did not always wish the best for this person over the years...and that is probably causing some of my guilt....but finding out still broke my heart. It must be a woman thing....but I feel like a little peice of me is dying...I want to help them...hell...it is fair to say I would do anything to cure them...but there is just not a lot out there about the disease. Now don't get the wrong idea here people....we are just buds.... but it is a weird/scary feeling when you think someone is sick for so long and it turns out they are! I feel like since I had the "feeling" I should be able to do something....anything to help at all. What worries me even more is that they do not seem to be too worried about it on the outside. Should I kick their a$$?....kidnap them and drag them to a REAL doctor in NYC?....just be there and do nothing? I am torn....email me with advice. I tell you...makes allergies look like a walk in the park. This person is truly amazing...I do not think they know how worried I am....but I guess that is not something you can tell someone....it would be too weird I guess..... I think they would get the wrong idea...
