Hey, so we need help deciding what my mom should be called now that she is a grandma so I am putting it on here. WHATEVER you people decide my mom will go with it. Remember, you are choosing what MY children will be calling her. Choose wisely.
Matt & Janell are expecting a baby girl on September 3!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe someday I will have time to update this blog with something besides pictures of what I’m doing, but it is kind of fun to have a record of this stuff right?!
Today was the last day of the regular season for the National Hockey League. There is one game remaining between the Anaheim Ducks and the Phoenix Coyotes. The playoffs are right around the corner. Let me just tell you, there is nothing better then the NHL playoffs. Here are the matchups and my picks are in italics:
Eastern Conference
Montreal Canadiens vs Boston Bruins
Pittsburgh Penguins vs Ottawa Senators
Washington Capitals vs Philadelphia Flyers
New Jersey Devils vs New York Rangers
Western Conference
Detroit Red Wings vs Nashville Predators
San Jose Sharks vs Calgary Flames*
Minnesota Wild vs Colorado Avalanche
Anaheim Ducks vs Dallas Stars
*You’ll notice that I didn’t make a pick, it’s too hard. San Jose is on fire and I genuinely like the Sharks, however I love love Dion Phaneuf and Jarome Iginla. I want them to win. I also have a soft spot in my heart for the Sharks because they acquired Jody Shelley earlier this season. Jody Shelley was the tough guy on the Jackets and I adore him. I don’t know who to choose, regardless it will be a great post season and I can’t wait to see who raises the Cup this year.
My beloved Columbus Blue Jackets did not make it to the post season, next season promises to be much better for the Jackets, MUCH better. It was a season full of up and downs and really took a toll on me emotionally, with the trading of my favorite player, Adam Foote, and one of the best players of all time Sergei Fedorov, then with Rick Nash becoming the Captain, and Aaron Rome being called up and proving his worth. I am too emotionally involved with my team, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
