About Me

My photo
Proud single mom of one beautiful daughter who shares my love of sports and music. She doesn't share my love of the outdoors which I find weird. I love photography and wish I had a better camera!! Maybe someday...

1/1/12 Cheers to a New Year & Another Chance to Get it Right!

(~~Oprah Winfrey)

Just like that, 2011 came to an end.  By far, the fastest year of my life. I know, they say the older you get the faster it goes...and it's damn true!  Definitely a year of ups, downs, and changes.  Some good and some bad...some yet to be determined.

New Year's Day fell on  a Sunday this year which is my usual day off, but I didn't want the day to be just like any other normal day off, so I made plans to head to beautiful San Jose.  My purpose was threefold.  1) To meet a not-often-seen friend for lunch.  2) To pick up our tickets to the upcoming Sharks/Capitals game.  And 3) to get my lazy butt out of the house!

The Sharks were holding practice at Sharks Ice, so I made sure my plans revolved around that.  If I'm going to drive 2 1/2 hours each way to San Jose, I might as well see some damn hockey players! When I got there, the players were already on the ice, although I thought I was actually going to be early.

I climbed up onto the bleachers.  Not too gracefully I might add. Embarrassing. I didn't fall or anything, but I definitely didn't put my best side forward.  haha  But (no pun intended) I HOPE it wasn't the reason Jumbo was staring at me. I tried to take this photo on the down low, so it's not in the greatest focus.
 I must say, this pracky contained a lot of awesome.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves and interject where I feel inspired. Here, Handzus and Ginner spend some time discussing.
