It’s been a forking interesting day!

I started the morning out by playing hockey, nice thing to do at 6:00 on a Friday morning. Blake (my old roommate) came out and played so we got to chat and catch-up a little bit, it was pretty cool. The team I played on won 3 of 4 games to 5 goals and I scored a pretty nice little grinding goal. I had a dude drapped all over me in front of the net when the puck slid through and out of Blake’s site, I got a piece of it and slid it underneath him and in the net. Later in the game I missed the most beautiful scoring opportunity I’ll probably ever have. I was on the right side of the crease when one of my teammates slid the puck across from the other side. I was all alone in front of the net and Blake went down to cover the bottom half of the net. I took my time (an amazing thing on it’s own because I usually freak out in that situation, “Gotta shoot, gotta shoot now), look where I want to shoot, draw back and fire the puck. Just half an inch to the left was all I needed, instead CLANG, Metallurgy save! It was good crisp, hard shot and the ring off the post would only be rivalled by the bells of a cathedral. I shook my head, Blake laughed, and one of the guys on the bench was like, “Dude, that was beautiful………until you hit the post!” Jackass!

So anyway the game’s over, I get everything put up, get my shower and head for work. I decided to stop by the bank to check my account balance because I need to make a car payment and much to my surprise the balance is FAR lower than I thought it should have been. So I spend the morning shitting bricks sideways and I finally decide to head out to the house. I needed to feed the dogs and I could kill two birds with one stone if I got on-line and check my statement to see what happened. Aparently about 2 seconds after I got my $20 out of the bank, the other money that I was expecting to arrive yesterday, finally showed in my account and because Microsoft Money is evil and screwed something up, it turns out that I have a good bit more money in my account than even I expected. Must check on Microsoft Money and find out why it made me worry so much when it shouldn’t have.

Okay, so that’s all settled and I’m much happier now than I was about 3 hours ago. I was doing pretty good though. I was following through on my previous post and despite being upset about the banking situation I was still pretty happy all together. I just decided that was how I was going to be! :)

Has anyone picked up on the fact that it’s ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS outside today. I wish it had been 60 degrees when I was out riding my bike, but it wasn’t too bad since I had my cold gear on. I’m still pretty darn weak by my standards, but yesterday I was able to top out at 37.4 mph on flat land. I still have the power, I’m just lacking in stamina right now. Need to get this weight back off. Granted I’m still 32 lbs lighter than I was this time last year, but I’d like to lose another 40 lbs and get done to 225 ultimately.

Okay, I’m done rambling, I need to get some work done.

Todder, OUT!
