UFA Day #1!!!

Ok, so it was the first day for Unrestricted Free Agency in the NHL... I didn't get to watch much but I followed it on twitter... well more like tweets on my phone... got about 250 today hahahaha!!! Not too too much to report for my teams/players...

Kurtis Foster (former Minnesota Wild player) signed with the Oilers... very happy for him and I hope he does well... a part of me was still hoping he'd go back to the Wild :(

The Minnesota Wild decided not to re-sign Derek Boogaard (WOOHOO!!!) and he was signed to a 4 year deal with the New York Rangers... there he can be with Gabby... I am so very glad Boogaard will not be with the Wild, he is NOT fan friendly... NEVER had a good experience with him... and I'm also glad that he's playing in the East now...

Both Olli Jokinen and Alex Tanguay have been signed by the Calgary Flames... both players had previously been a part of the Flames roster... Jokinen coming back from the Rangers and Tanguay coming from the Lightning... Was hopeful that Jokinen would sign with the Wild but still happy with where he is...

Saku Koivu re-signed with the Ducks for 2 years, I am pretty sure the Wild had made him an offer but I can only assume he still didn't think it would be right playing with his brother Mikko in Minnesota... I'm still not sure how I feel about this since I couldn't make up my mind yesterday when I had read about the possibility... but I wish him all the best since I am still a big fan!

The Minnesota Wild re-signed Guillaume Latendresse, they also sign Minnesota native Matt Cullen from the Sens and Eric Nystrom from the Calgary Flames.

And finally the Carolina Hurricanes sign Jonathan Matsumoto.

Obviously these are not the only deals that went down on day 1 but these are the ones that matter to ME! lmao! For a list of today's deals go here:

Other than UFA day nothing much has happened in my world... I may have more to blog about when my brain stops thinking hockey haha!

OH one thing... I am very pissed that my sister doesn't have her computer back! It was supposed to be fixed TODAY! And yes the computer guy WAS in on Canada Day!

But that's it for right now... I know none of you are really interested in any of this but I am so deal with it :P hahahaha!

OH CRAP!

TOTALLY forgot to say HAPPY CANADA DAY!!! To all my Canadian friends and such... and the wannabe Canadians!!! hehehe... Susie... hahahaha!!!

Apologies...

Just thought I should apologize in advance... or really I should have before the last post... I am very likely going to be posting blogs about hockey... or at least have a paragraph or two dedicated to hockey in my blogs... not all the time though of course... but I just wanted to give the non hockey fans (like all of you hahaha) a heads up... because I'm sure you could care less about what player is playing for which team and why I hope they NEVER play for the Canucks... unless I already hate them... then I don't care... and I just don't want them on MY teams... like Boogaard... but then again I don't want him playing for the Nucks either because he's HUGE and will probably end up injuring players especially if the Nucks get him to play the way they like to play...

ANYWAY... this wasn't meant to be as long as it is... so... yeah... sorry for the hockey posts... haha!

Yikes!

It's almost been 3 months since I last blogged... not like anyone really noticed hahahaha!! Blame oovoo... it's where I spend most of my time... and since the only people that read these posts are already there I just didn't feel like there was any point to this...

I reread my past posts and decided that I am such a freak/fool... hahaha! And I enjoy laughing at myself WAY too much!

Biggest reason why I'm blogging now is because I can't sleep... my dad showed up here at like 6am needing to use my phone to call the vet because my sister's dog Maddie was in labour and one of the puppies was stuck :( she had delivered 2 boys and 1 boy that didn't make it but the other pups weren't coming out... so I can't sleep cause I wanna make sure that Maddie is ok... and I wanna know if the other pups were ok or if they didn't make it.... AND I wanna make sure my sister is ok... but I won't find any of this out until later since their computer is a big piece of crap and has to be fixed... can't reach them!!! :S This is Maddie's first and only litter... hope everything is ok...

Hmmm not much has happened since the last time I posted... well at least that I can remember haha! Oh I found out that Haida has NEVER been to a hockey game... all I could think of when she told me was ".................." I couldn't believe it! So I told her I was going to take her to one this coming season... I just hope she can take the HORRIBLE abuse from the 'Nuck fans... they're BAAAAAD!!! I'm used to it... and really find it amusing... MOST of the time... sometimes it REALLY pisses me off! I HATE the Canucks and their retarded fans!! Ok ok not ALL of the fans are bad hahahaha... I actually have a few friends that are good... I'm just talking about the majority...

Not sure what game I'm taking her to... I'm thinking the Canes game on October 17th... but still not sure... have to see how the financial situation is going.... especially since like 3 weeks before the game I'll be gone on a Hanson holiday with Alyssa and Haida! Vancouver show at the Commodore Ballroom on Sept 25th and then the Spokane show with Lori on the 27th... which means a 13 or 14 hour bus trip :S hahaha! Well better than 2.5-3 days right?? I can't wait for this tour... so far Vancouver is the only Canadian date!! WOOWOO GO VANCOUVER! ahahahaha! Which it's kind of weird... cause the show wasn't nearly sold out hahaha... lots of space... but we were LOUD! Maybe they prefer volume to quantity??? I dunno... whatev... lol!

Oh yeah... I read a post by someone... can't remember who and I don't know for sure if they were from the Rangers or the Canes but they were saying that it would be smart for both teams if they made a trade of Marc Staal to Carolina for Jussi Jokinen!!!! I'm sorry... but no... although it would be cool to have another Staal on the team I am not going to give up Jussi! Nope nope nope! And there are talks (again) about S. Koivu maybe signing with the Wild as a free agent... And although I love Saku... I have always been a big fan... but I don't know if it would be great... The Wild is Mikko's team... and I'm always afraid that if Saku comes to the Wild then some people would think it would only be right to give him the C... and I don't think it's right... Mikko is a great leader, they don't need another one... maybe Saku could take one of the A's lol... gah... I am arguing internally with myself on this hahahahahaha!!! I want him on one of my teams... so maybe the Canes can grab him... (and keep Jussi!!).... yes... the Wild or the Canes... I just don't want him on another team that I don't cheer for hahaha! Now... hopefully that will be all the hockey talk in this post...

hmmm what else... I can't think of anything else :S OH!! Hanson's new album Shout It Out is SOOOOO AWESOME!!! I got sick of Thinking 'Bout Somethin' after hearing it like 103837289 times... but then I took a break from it and now I absolutely love it again haha!! wait... did I already mention this.... or did I just think about mentioning it??? meh... don't wanna go up to check...

I need to clean the house man!! I need a freaking vacuum!!! one little area with stupid carpet!!! GAH I HATE CARPET!!!! I also need to do the bunny cage and fish tank... I need a new bunny cage... this one is a pain in the arse! Maybe I can save up enough money to get one... hopefully soon...

oooookay you know what??? I think this post is long and boring enough don't you??? well... hopefully I can keep this up so I can continue boring you and clogging the net with useless ramblings :D Talk to you later!!! :D

Hostess

This is just a quick note... I was thinking earlier and it occurred to me that like half of Hostess products have names that could be taken another way...

Twinkies??

Ho Hos???

Ding Dongs????

Sno Balls?????

What were they thinking really???

That's all...

hahahaha old people are funny!!

So I was at work today listening to my boss and her friend talk... they were talking movies... I really love how an older person can watch a movie and get the popular quotes from the movie wrong... I'm standing there planting and one says "Go, Go!" and the other is like "Like from the movie Forest Gump... Go Forest Go!"

...........

Every fiber of my being wanted to crack and laugh SO hard! AND correct them!!! Go Forest Go??? NO!! RUN FOREST RUN!!!! How do these people get things SO wrong?!?!?!?

Other than that... nothing much happened today... went to work... killed my back doing it... only amusing thing that happened was I was carrying empty boxes out of one greenhouse to put into the other and I was carrying two... one on top of the other and the one on the top slid and hit me in the nose!! :( It REALLY hurt... hurt so bad that my teeth hurt! No blood thankfully... hehe...

I bought a bunch of junk food today too... don't worry I did buy some healthy stuff too... Milk and yogurt! :D I'm not a huge fan of yogurt but every once in a while I like it! Bought some popcorn too... then realized that I rarely eat it... so I don't know why I bought it... when I was standing there looking at it I wanted it... now not so much... maybe I'll toss a pack in the microwave anyway and share it with the dogs... not a lot of course... not great for them!

I just realized I didn't have dinner... was too busy pigging out on junk food!! BAD MELISSA!! BAD!!! Maybe I should have some of that yogurt eh?? get SOMETHING healthy in me!

I am really happy that Haida is liking Blackmore's Night... I wasn't sure I was going to find anyone else that enjoyed that kind of music as much as I do, other than my dad! haha! She only has like 20 songs... still needs the other 117+ haha!

Hmmmm..... well that's it... I'm gonna go grab some yogurt and maybe listen to music... or watch tv and talk to Alyssa and Haida on Facebook! :D Oh and I'll tell them that this is posted muahaha! Since they're the only ones that read this... I might as well be talking directly to them...

Well... Alyssa... Haida... hope you enjoyed the blog hehe! :D

alkfdjsalhfieakfdsklafkldsjfdij

Apparently I HAVE to blog... Alyssa's making me :( But I have nothing to blog about!!! I've started work... oooOOOooo!!! ummm it hurts really bad HAHAHAHAHA!!! But I have to work cause my electricity bill was too high and I don't want them to shut off my power LMFAO!! See where this is going???

Hmmm what else... I've started listening to Blackmore's Night... got Haida listening to it too... she seems to be enjoying it... I LOVE Hanson's new song Thinking 'Bout Somethin'.... it's awesome and makes me wanna dance... Also Haida and I have been listening to John Farnham's You're The Voice A LOT!!! Well at least I have... in one day I listened to it 30 times!!! That's what happens when I like a song but can't figure out what it is for so long and then finally find it! Non stop! I had it on repeat for like 2 hours!! hahahaha!! Listened to TBS like 15 times today... so far... it's only been like 12 hours since I got it so there's still time for it to beat YTV... wow... TBS and YTV... both tv stations... or old ones... since TBS isn't called TBS anymore... and I haven't watched YTV in a LOOOONG time! It sucks now... nothing good! I miss old Hit List with Tarzan Dan!! He was awesome!! I remember he read my letter on air once hehehehe :D

This blogging thing has become hard ever since my last post... how the hell am I supposed to outdo that last one?? what can beat me hitting my dad in the head with a rake and then hitting myself soon after??? NOTHING!!!

*GRUMBLE*GRUMBLE*

It is freaking cold lately!!! What happened to the Spring we had during Winter??? Sheesh!! My electricity bill is going to be even crazier cause of this!! Owie.. my back is hurting!! My thighs too... I really don't want to go to work tomorrow... or really today... too much pain but I NEED the moolah!! I need it to pre order Shout It Out!!! And you know... to survive and all... hahahaha!!!

Lately I've been daydreaming about going back in time... to all different eras... it would be so much fun!! Just to see what things were like! Oh and I had a weird dream about a friend asking me to stand in for her at HER wedding... hahahahahaha!!! I was like "uhhhhhh, doesn't work that way!" hahahahaha!!! I can't remember why she tried to get me to do that... but she actually thought I could stand in for her and she'd still be married... and I wouldn't hahahahaha!!!

But I think that's it for tonight... hey! Stop complaining! I could have just not posted at all!! :P
