Happy New Year!!!

Wow! I can't believe it's 2007! Seems like only yesterday I was still penciling 1989 on my primary school books =/ Time's been flying so fast.

Anyhoo...I trust everyone had a good Christmas?

Mine was pretty good...bit busy, but still really good. We had our friend Steve from Manchester over staying with us, and somehow he managed to get me skating again (first time since the "getting my finger skated over" incident about a year and a half ago!), which was scary as hell, but good fun and a huge relief to get over the fear.

We had a couple of Giants games over the Christmas period too...but they must have been a little over stuffed with turkey as they didn't do fantastically there, but getting to see everyone in the bar afterwards and celebrate Mums birthday at the same time was great...which, by the way, went without a hitch; She decided not to break any bones this year...ya know, just for a change =P

Steve returned home on New Years Eve and was replaced by Shiny Sarah who joined us for a shindig in Matts bro's house. Lots of fun was had...and lots of dodgy phone pics were taken...




...ahem. One thinks One will refrain from posting anymore *cough*

Anyways...hope everyone had a good one, and here's to a fantastic and very very shiny 2007!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

The Shiny Stars

I took some photos of Shiny Sarah all dressed up in my goalie gear last Sunday night as part of a hockey themed photo shoot...



I've decided She'd make a great addition to the Giants next season lol ;o)

Wow. That's actually pretty dang accurate =/

Halloween "Party"

(Bill perusing the Argos Catalogue back at Raj's)

...well that was a bust.

Yaaaarrr tis a good job I cheered myself up and made the effort, eh.

Bah!


**In other news, after a swift telling off from Raj, I'm now using Firefox. I like it. It's shiny.**

Bah!

So...today I feel like crap. There is a halloween party tonight and no one seems to be going. Now I don't feel like going either. Poo.

Well...no amount of chocolate in the world seems to be able to cheer me up, but just incase there's anyone else out there with the blues, here's a little something to induce a giggle or two.

From the previous "Music Night at the Cardwell's" evening, Matt & Myself (...after a whisky or two I might add...) giggling singing If I Had $1,000,000...the Barenaked Ladies we are not!


(Click here if you can't see the music bar)

Apologies to every Canadian I've ever met or known for the truly questionable accents.

...Quick! Get out the cheese!

**EDIT** My bad...actually chocolate does help a little. Esp when its poured through your front doors letter box when you least expect it! *blushes* Thankies Matty =) xx
