Canada goes for the Gold this Wednesday

by

Good news – did you watch the World Junior Hockey Championship games earlier this evening? Canada and the US were playing and the US was defending it’s title.

Well .. unfortunately for the USA, they lost the game and now, the Canadians are going to play Russia on Wednesday night for the gold. I’m sure all three teams will walk away with hockey trophies.

If you can’t tell – I’m Canadian … so I’m rooting for our team to win the gold but of course I’m happy even if they only win the silver.

Go CANADA!!!!!

Time for a new cellphone

by

I think my cell phone is on it’s last legs. It’s about five years old and I just can’t rely on it most of the time any more.

I guess it’s time to start thinking about getting a new cell phone. I’ve been looking around online and as I’m sure you know, a lot has changed with cellphones in five years!

I’ve toyed with the idea of getting an iPhone or maybe even a htc desire hd. Whatever I get I’m sure it’s going to be a smartphone.

Any suggestions?

I don’t use my cellphone a lot so I don’t really need to use it to get online for browsing or even to do a lot of texting but it would be nice for it to have those capabilities if I wanted to use them or get a a package that offed those features.

Visiting the neighbors

by

Our neighbors had a small birthday party for their little girl yesterday. We were invited to the party so we went over for a few hours in the afternoon.

We end up having a really nice time. We don’t socialize all that much with these particular neighbors. They’re in the house that’s attached to ours- so we hear them all the time … but we don’t talk to them all that much.

We got along really well though so I think we’ll be getting together more often. Oh and when we were leaving our neighbor – Carol, gave us the sweetest thank you cards for attending the party. So nice.

Do you socialize with your neighbors?

I’m so full!

by

I’m so full! We had an early Christmas dinner this evening and I’m still full!

I don’t even think I ate that much, but I’m stuffed!

I made a turkey last night , Thursday December 23rd, yes a little early, but we’re going to the in-laws for Christmas and I like to have our own Christmas dinner too … so we had ours early .. so I guess tonight’s dinner was the second dinner .. All I had tonight was a little bit of stuffing, some turkey, some sweet potatoes and cranberry jelly and that’s it. No big helpings – just a little bit of each.

Perhaps I should put on my coat and take a long walk around the neighborhood and then I’ll feel a little less full.

Tomorrow when we go to the in-laws I’ll get to see how they decorated this year at the church across the street. My mother in law said something about how she used cypress trees as part of their decoration. It should be interesting to see how they decorated.

What are you doing for Christmas or the holidays? Any big plans?

My husbands favorite dinner – lately

by

This evening we’re having what’s quickly becoming one of my husband’s favorite dinners. It’s pretty easy to make too.

We’re having a mix of long grain and wild rice, peas and chicken. I tend to eat these three food items separately but my husband likes to cut up his chicken and then he mixes the peas, rice and chicken together and he swears that it tastes like chicken fried rice. I’ve tasted his mix and it’s true – it does tasted like chicken fried rice … maybe I should mix mine up too.

This evening I think I’m going to pull out one of the desserts that I made two weeks ago – Zucchinni bread – perhaps cut some up and put it in the center of the table on a glass tile and we’ll have it for dessert after dinner. Yum.

Speaking of dinner … it’s after 8 pm … I’d better get cooking!
