It's the first day of class for the winter semester. My last semester ended really well - I finished with a 74%. I was really happy with that considering I missed a month of class with my moms death AND I only got 65% on the midterm. So to bring it up that much made me really happy with my effort.
Hockey is improving much better than when I last wrote. The lines are coming together and with only two regular season games left we seem to be peaking at the right time. My average is still the highest in the league, but it really hasn't recovered since the first games of the season.

Alot of things missed
So begins another school class. Well the weight loss I wanted to achieve is going slower than I thought I'm nowhere near my goal but that is OK cause alot of stressers in my life the past month have let to resorting to comfort foods and lack of gym time. I have since gotten back on track. Also my hockey days and times were all over the map - some on Saturday and some through out the week. I really could not get in any kind of routine. Now my hockey is on every Friday with the odd Tuesday thrown in .
Hockey seems to be getting better are team has made a few trades and gotten rid of few of our weaker players and got a decent guy back in return. Our league likes parody amongst the teams and we were a little weak. I still am fighting with my timing; my legs are alot more muscular and I have a better solid core. The amount of power needed to make the save is less but I am still using same power as before so I'm going down before the puck gets there. Hopefully by playoffs my timing will be perfect.

Back in the Saddle
As most of you that read Sarah's blog know my mother passed away on October 19. It was a rough time for me and my family. The last two weeks have been such a blur; almost a dream. I don't think I'm ready on here (at least not yet) to tell you what happened and for reasons one might think of. A lot of it has to do with being the go-between the hospital and my family (all my siblings live in B.C. so I would call them twice a day to update them on her status). I have repeated the story so many times it has become almost like I was an information officer, not really giving it the honour and remembrance it deserves. Don't get me wrong - telling everybody has been one of the best things I could have done to grieve.
I have also learned that funeral homes, cemeteries and really anything in the death business is incredibly expensive, it almost seems like a money grab. Because I'm in accounting, I wonder what their expenses are and how much profit they make.
I'm back to work and school, trying to get back to my regular routine. One thing that hasn't wavered is my hockey. I went to two games; once while she was in hospital and one after she had passed. I wasn't going to but Dad asked me to go and I respected his wishes. I was so glad I did; the hockey rink is my sancutary, its my quiet time. Also the league did an amazing tribute on their web site and as well they did a moment of silence for her the game after she had passed. It was moving and I know my father was really moved by it.
Rest In Peace Della June W.

just a quickee
Hey all
Small class so I am not going to get much written today so I will keep it short and sweet.
I'm trying to get down to my ideal playing weight of 185 and at this point I have 40 to go. My goal is to be down to that on my birthday which is at the end of November. This may be a challenge, seeing as I can't get to the gym like I want to with work, class, and hockey. I wish the gym was open 24 hours instead of just until 11pm.
I think im going to have to find ways to get some extra physical activity. Any suggestions? Deit, I dont think is an issue: for the most part I consume (on average )between 1,000 to 1,800 calories a day.

Class time
So I have decided when to write in order to keep me on kinda schedule cause if I don't, I'll only post once a year. That time is in my class - it may take me 2 hours or all class to do but leading the busy life like I do and I know my avid readers await my posts. (HA! Another joke!)
Speaking of class, its going well we are almost at the midterm. One pet peeve of mine is every class I'm in there's some idiot that must prove his/her answers are right even though its cut and dry - only one way to do it. (I'm studying Financial Accounting. Seriously, only one way to do it.) Buddy, face it - you were wrong, correct your mistake and get over it. Now we have to spent have the class explaining over and over why you're wrong and the teacher is right. So aggravating.
As most of you know, I talk about my hockey a lot so tonight is no exception. This season has been a weird one to say the least - it started as awful as the last one finished and has slowly gotten better from week to week. That being said, my team in front of me is about the weakest its ever been so it means I have to be pretty much perfect every game in order for my team to win. (And I am far from perfect!) So safe to say it is more of a challenge but it keeps me on my toes and very, very busy on the ice.
Two blog posts in a month; I'm on my way to being a better blogger already!

Horrible blogger. Yes, yes I am.
Wow its been almost a year since I posted.
I have been meaning to write (honestly, I have!) but when it comes right down to it something usually takes precedence, whether it be a video game, hockey or just plan laziness. I also feel that when I write it has to be long and well thought out. With me having Sarah edit these posts so that you guys can understand what exactly I'm trying to say and my grammar and spelling is the worst on the planet.
So my plan is to write more shorter and more to the point posts, mixed in with long winded ramblings. With me having alot to say and wanting to share it with you all and with the shorter posts I can ease the work on Sarah cause I know how much she loves to edit these. I think she has had to capitalize more I's than any one in history. I am also using this blog to improve my grammar and what not. This post really did have a purpose over than me making excuses for not posting.
Hmm now where to start me and Pookey hit our two year anniversary just the other day thinks are looking much better than when we started two years ago.
Now schooling on the other hand kinda hit a bit of a snag when first started my CGA my college degree was good enough to get it. Due to recent changes you need to have a university degree that just means an extra year of schooling. So instead of 34 I will be 35 when I get my CGA. Good thing about it is at the end of the day it will earn me 30 to 50k more a year.
I think I'm going to end this post here cause well its almost time for the gym and the Bulls season has started again so there is plenty to do. cause now if I don't go to the gym I feel crappy and I'm starting to see the transformation of my beer keg to a six pack. (Ha! Lame joke).

My Monthly
Well just like women get their visit from Aunt Rose every month, you get a blog post from me. The only problem is that I'm late by a week so I'd have most woman wondering if they're pregnant. ;-)
So my birthday is at the end of the week and for the first time in a long time, I am really looking forward to it. My birthdays in the past have been very disappointing. This year Pookey and I are going up to Guelph to watch my beloved Bulls play. She also gets to see one of her best friends. So its kinda a win-win for both of us and I think we both need to get away from the city. Our work has become routine and my hockey is not going well like it was last year.
Its kind of a frustrating time for me in regards to hockey; I'm really struggling to find my game back to the level it was at last year. I've had moments within a game that go really well, but the others are right in the shitter. So a break will be good for me to re-focus and bring it all together for playoffs. (I hope!)

fridays five got me thinking
I was writing my answers to Friday 5 (last week) and it got me thinking about something and this topic I never thought I would ever talk about. OK you ready for it? MARRIAGE. Yeah that's right, I said that supposedly awful word in a guys life.
Now until about 6 months ago I never thought I would get married, the thought of one woman for the rest of my life was plain scary and I was always wondering if the grass was greener on the other side. The more I think about it, I think it was the person I was with at the time really scared me. I was somewhat content with her but never really wanted to settle down, let alone have kids. Well that all changed when I met Sarah; I can really see myself settling down and raising a family.
Its even got to the point now I wanna contribute to our wedding plans and give Sarah her dream wedding. One of the big things that's changed with it is I really wanna be apart of the planning process. Now ultimately it is the brides day but I really want it to be our day and it be something we both will remember for the rest of our lives.
Most of my memories in my head that always will remember are sports related, like I can tell you exactly every goal in my two hockey championships. I can even go right down to every last detail. now those memories are being added to by Sarah. Things like our first kiss, how we met and the first time we made love. At first I was scared of these memories cause of my manly ego was trying to tell me this is what should be here. (none of this sappy stuff)
Now I wonder if I'm getting older (nearly 30!) and feel the need to start a family or am I truly, deeply in love for the first time in my life. It is a little scary to think about because my lives worries are taking a backseat to that of Sarahs. I now am more concerned about her worries, her fears and trying to make her as happy as I am when I'm with her (looks over shoulder for the sap police).
I know she is struggling with her ambition and what she wants to do with her career and life for that matter. I really wanna be there when she figures it out (I know she will). I really hate to see her suffering over it and really hurts me inside to see it. The best thing I can tell Sarah is be patient and it will come to you. So I sit here writing about marriage and my undying love for someone. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm crazy, but all I have to is look over to her baby blue eyes and I know its all worth it in the end.

Friday 5
And now, for the fridayfive!
When you go to the beach, lake, or pool, are you more likely to lower yourself gradually into cold water or to take a determined plunge and get it over with?
hmm for me it really depends on where we are. Like if its a pool I go to regularly I will just dive right in. However, if its an unknown beach or lake, then I tend to tread very lightly kinda one step at a time, until I'm comfortable with the whole situation.
How is this like (or unlike) your approach to other tasks or ordeals?
This is somewhat how I'm like in life; sometimes I take it cautiously, and others I'm totally gung ho. This is so true with sports, with that I try to lead and be the first to try new things and different ways of adapting.
When someone gives you flowers, are you more likely to let them turn completely brown and gross before throwing them out, or to discard them the moment they take on that sick-flower look?
Being as practical (and, lets face it, male) as I am, I'd wait until they're almost dead or completely dead. Then again, I don't like flowers because they die; I'd rather have/get/buy something I can use or interact with, not just park on a table and watch it wilt.
How is this like (or unlike) your approach to other gifts, purchases, or relationships?
Gifts are gift as long as I see a practical use for them, whether it be entertment or useful etc. I really enjoy the gifts that comes from the heart and especially love the gifts where the person really "gets" me. Relationships must have meaning and there must be love back. Like who I'm with right now; she is very special to me and I know she has a deep love for me.
Think of your favorite movie (or a movie you really like, if you can’t think of a favorite). Some people say that the reasons you love your favorite movie are related to what you value in romantic relationships. How is this true or untrue in your case?
Not really cause most of my favorite movies are sports or action flicks. So to me that says my relationships should be quick, high impact, fly by the seat of your pants, and they are far from that! I love long meaningful relationships. All my relationships have lasted at least a year or more (especially the one I'm in right now. I truly believe that she will be my wife and I'm so excited for that day to happen.)

just an update
So now the waiting begins, with my ball hockey done for the year and my ice season still about a month away. It is a really a slow time for me as far as sports go. I am really looking forword to this ice hockey season, with last year winning it all and winning all the individual awards that I could. I feel the urge to repeat as champions and am looking to regain my top goalie award. I know I'm going to have to work hard and start getting back to the gym on a more regular basis.
Work is as busy as ever with Back-to-School stock starting to come in and most of the summer stock still here. I am slowly figuring out the department and getting a handle on things. It's been an easier adjustment then what I had orignally thought. This week has been interesting; work has paid for a First Aid course for me and a few others. It's mostly a refresher for me since mine just expired last month. There are a few updates and a few new ways to do stuff so I'm not too bored though.
Thats it for now, just a short post for me. Until I write again, have fun and don't do anything I would not do.

Friday 5
**Originally written yesterday***
Here is today's friday5.
What was the last meal that caused you to be ill?
hmm really nothing. well unless you count rotten ronnies but I think that makes everyone ill.
Are there any places you never dine anymore because of a bad experience hours after the meal? I kinda said i'd never eat there again but hey at 3 am its all thats open.
What’s your prescription for dealing with a food-caused illness?
Sleep sleep and more sleep, oh and if it is bad enough I get lots of trips of hailing the throne.
When friends tell you about coming down with food-caused illnesses, do you avoid the places they name, or do you figure it’s a dice-roll wherever you go?
I'm usually eating with Sarah so if either of us had a bad experience we normally don't go. Some times will give the place another shot.
After numerous citations, a very, very popular restaurant that you’re quite fond of is shut down by the health department until it can get everything up to code. When the health department gives the restaurant the o.k. to reopen, do you go?
hmm usually we try to avoid those but sometimes places deserve another shot, I think in that case a management change had better have had happened.

Up and downs of an interesting day
Well my first day in my new department is over. It all started last night when I dropped Sarah off at her Sleep Clinic appointment. Sleeping in an empty bed when you've gotten used to snuggling and kissing before bed is harder than you think - it forced me to watch extra amounts of TV (that awful boob tube, an insomniacs best friend though). When I set my alarm, I set it for 5pm instead of am so I overslept till 5:45! (Thank the cat for waking me up.) But I got to work only 5 mins late which is not to bad. The day went OK other than trying to get familiar with the department. Worse thing about the day is this nauseated feeling I'm having. At first I thought it was me just being nervous, however its lasted all day.
So I got off work, picked up the stuff I need for ball hockey, and got home to the loving arms of my Pookey (I really think Sarah hates that name). I figured a cuddle and a nap before dinner at Moms would settle my nausea. It did for a little bit but was back after dinner as I was sitting reading blogs and vegging before ball hockey. I really should not have gone but its playoffs and I cant let my teammates down; had it been a regular season game I would have. Good thing is we won the game in OT. Bad thing is I was out of breath most of the game and felt completely awful. I was making mistakes all game long. Mom seems to think I'm overtired and just need a break with all the massive housework, moving and ball hockey. Personally I think its my lack of going to the gym and all the snacking I'm doing, but Mom is usually right so I'm going to take tomorrow off work and get some much needed rest.
Well until I write again have fun and don't do anything I would not do.

1 day left of holidays
What to do today? Maybe I will just kick back and relax with Sarah, maybe put on a good movie and just cuddle; it's crappy outside so definitely staying in is the order of the day. Might even let Sarah put on a chick flick ;) Then again, maybe (just maybe) I'll help her unpack - she does have alot of stuff. I didn't think someone who lives a fairly straightforward life could have so much. Good thing it's all books and textbooks and not too many knicknacks. I think if I see another knicknack im going to scream. My last roomie had tons and tons. It was so cluttered in here you could barley move. With my allergies (I'm allergic to petfur and dust) it was a hard time living. I wish we took pictures of the stuff before the roomie moved out. I think most of you have seen the mess, if not take a run over to sarah's blog.
Cleaning that mess took most of my holidays which was kind of a damper, but hey its life and it needed to be done. Its not like I didn't know it was coming. Sarah was great throughout it though; she didnt nag too much and tried to let me relax as much as possible. I do say the place is starting to look great - it's very open, very livable.
Going back to work tomorrow should be an interesting time because I have a new department to run. So right now I'm nervous, anxious, and scared all at the same time. My job duties actually don't change, which is good, but there are more aisles to watch over and the flow of merchandise is a lot slower compared to where I was before. I figure it is going to take me about a month to get used to being in a department where product moves more slowly than one that is moving lots of product out everyday (I used to work in Paper Goods and Chem - so all your cleaning and toliet paper and stuff like that. It goes pretty quickly). Not everyone needs a new vaccum everyday. I think what will help me is the old department manager is still in the store for another couple of weeks. He should be a great help in getting me used to my new department.
Ok I think thats it for now, so until I write again remember - have fun and don't do anything I would not do. ;)

Friday 5
Well, I'm trying out some of Sarah's (cause I know she just loves Pookey) interests so here is my friday5.
I'm new so its allowed to be day late. Ya huh.
What are some recurring dreams you’ve had?
Hmm I've had a couple but most recently its one of Sarah and I on a camping trip and I catch her doing bad things with other people, but never the same person and its always someone who is significant in my life, like a coworker, old friend, or even worse, an ex-girlfriend. It's never someone she was a friend with before we started dating. I don't do anything, just watch and get mad until I wake up.
What is the significance of dreams in telling you about yourself?
I think deep down its showing the insecurities of myself. For the most part I have low self-esteem so this is my body's way of dealing with the fear of this happening. Like they say, the more you confront that fear, the faster it goes away.
How do you feel after you’ve had one of THOSE dreams?
Usually mad. I don't tell her about them because it's mostly something I have to work through. I've never worried about anything that has happened in my dream, but I think that if its in the back of my mind then I won't let my guard down and treat her like the special woman she is.
What was the last dream you remember?
Last dream I remember is; I was at work talking with a friend and my best friend from high school comes in with a cigar and tells me "It's a boy!!" I ask if it was his and he's said "No, it's yours, don't you remember?" and the next thing I see is Sarah with our baby boy. I woke up happy that day and had a great ball hockey game
When did you last dream about something that later happened as you dreamt it?
Hmm I don't think I have had this happen. I've had a few close ones (but not quite) and they normally don't involve me.

Hmm I should talk about pookey more....
So we sit here at 4 am, still wide awake, about to talk and cuddle some more. I'm slowly realizing I love to cuddle almost as much as sex. The long sessions of talk and cuddle are really therapeutic and it helps build our relationship further. Ok I'm sounding sappy aren't I?
But I have reason to be: she does so much for me and doesn't question it; she puts up with my pre-game ball hockey superstitions (mind you she has seen anything yet, wait till winter!); she always edits my blog entries for me (and god knows I'm a terrible speller and my grammar has got to be the worst). Most of all she's always there to support when things aren't going well. I fully believe she was the single most important reason my hockey season went so well. She instills so much confidence in me that I feel I can do anything.
I wanna experience so much with her - hell she even got me blogging! Although, I do really wish she had more outside hobbies that I can experience with her, like she does through my hockey and whatever I do.
Ok, in the interest of time (its now 4:24am) and frankly, I just wanna go cuddle some more, I'll end by saying: "Pookey, I love you, and I can't wait to help you with your goals and dreams and even make little babies with you". (hmm, me a father? ouch!)
Okay, I promise no more gushing lovey-dovey posts tonight no matter how much I still wanna shout out to the world how much I love her.
PS: I think I may try to post something everyday if I get more comments (hint hint?) or Pookey reminds me. Oh, and I may have to get her to show me how to add photos of the apartment. Maybe.

Finally!
Well Pookey's finally all moved in. It took us two hours to move all her stuff but it was well worth it. It gives us a sense of family (furchildren only though, at this point!!). Her ideas on how to open my place from its clutter has been perfect and I think I'm finally moving into this millennium. With art and what not on the walls (budget permiting). This last month or so has been very trying for her and myself, having to live at my parents place while the roommate moved out. The tension around here was pretty bad (the roommate and her didn't get along). It also played havoc on our sex life.
It's so nice for her to have stable housing now; it helps both of us get back to normal life. I'm so glad she started going to the gym with me. It's great because its healthy and one of my favorite hobbies and it gives us more things we can do together and build the relationship further, as we get more and more in love. Not like were not there already but I'm slowly learning you can fall deeply - deeper than you actually thought possible - in love with someone.
Ok enough about Pookey cause she will start to blush if I talk about her too much and besides, I have alot going in my life that I want to share with you. After all, its been over a month since I posted - I promise I'll post more frequently.
So the ball hockey season is winding down, we finished fourth so we have a one game playoff to decide who moves on to the semis. This season has been a success for the most part. With the weight I've lost, I have more energy. It's translated into more points, well one more than last season, which a small downer. However, the positive of it all is than I'm getting more chances and I'm not a liability late in the game as I felt I was before. I think this winter I'll work on a few things to get better.
Ok, last point: Work is great right now. I got somewhat of a small promotion - not a change in title but a bigger department. Which translate into a nice little raise of 70 cents an hour (it may not sound like much, but it does add up to an extra 1200$ a year).
Hmm maybe I can finally break down and buy Pookey those flowers she's always asking for. Or maybe that ring? actually, that's a bit farther down the road as I'd like to be more comfortable financially first, but maybe a promise ring is it order?
