Here's the update you've been dying for: I managed 2 points in hockey last night (1 goal, 1 assist)!!! Wooo me! We won 11 to 5, which puts us at 2 and 3 (2 wins, 3 losses). Not stellar, however, I'm convinced we will bounce back from our poor start.

Unfortunately, even though I (slightly) increased my standing in the player stats list, I lost ground in the hockey pool. Oh well, just more incentive to work harder next game. Stunningly, I have 5 points so far after only 5 games. Last year, I had a total of 7 points for the entire year!

I wasn't feeling totally wiped after the game, so I went and worked off the last of my energy at the gym. It's amazing how much more busy that place is when you go at 18:30 rather than 20:30! After a half-hour of that, though, I was ready to call it quits.

Home for dinner: giant, 2-weiner hotdog with cheese and bacon - mmmm! And Erik "got a craving" - code in our house for "Damn I really want a DQ Blizzard". So, of course I had to go get us a couple. *sigh*

I was feeling generous because Erik got my PC-TV working (mostly) yesterday. I think he didn't actually do any real work yesterday - just obsessed on getting our machines running. Of course, just as I was heading out to get our ice creamy treat, he yelled "Oh shit - I forgot I have work to do for clients for tomorrow!!". Oh, the pain of working for yourself (and from home). I wish I had his problems!

Funny thing about after being on a diet (did it for a couple months, lost a few pounds of flab) - I'm much more concious of the crap I eat now, and don't have quite the same appetite for junk. Normally, I would have had a large Blizzard, and devoured the whole thing. This time, I ordered a medium (it's actually pretty small), and only ate half!

But, returning to my earlier point: so I now have a PC-TV in my room and ready for next week, when the cable will finally get turned on to our bedrooms. Sheesh. I feel just like Homer while waiting his mandatory 5 days before he could buy his handgun - how can I wait that long? ;)
