Charity Hockey

Holy crap, I am a bad blogger!  Seriously, I've dropped the ball this summer.  Oh well, moving forward.  I got a couple of posts planned.  I've been doing things!  Yay!!!  I'll start with the Defending the Blue Line charity game in Minneapolis on the 20th of June. (If you remember I've mentioned them before)  It was great, lots of nhl players played and I went with some awesome people. (A little (very) disappointed, I didn't get Ryan Malone's (!!!!) autograph.)  It was a good game, I was cheering for both teams, but mostly for Ryan Malone and against that guy from the Bruins whose name I conveniently have forgotten as well as the former governor from Minnesota.  Without further ado (or much commentary) here are my pictures!

Old((ish), but not really) Hockey Pics...

As you all know, I discovered a fun way to make pictures oldish, it was fun, and I've been hanging out there a lot.  Just playing around with some of my hockey pictures.  Once again, you had to know this was coming, as is the case with all the other crazy stuff somehow it will all be hockey related at some point.  So here we go, my hockey pictures with more creative twist. Orrrr not. ;)

Kings @ Wild: Kings and Traitors

I've been avoiding writing this post of a month.  Playoff hockey losses sting and the minute my beloved Canucks played my almost as beloved Kings (this would have happened had they played Nashville too) the Kings became the enemy.  So I wasn't going to blog about them during the series and in the immediate aftermath I was too upset to do it.  Fact, the Kings and the Predators will always be tied for my second in the west, I can't pick between them and I probably never will be able to. But a week or so later after I've realized I am more upset at the canucks for sucking than I am at the kings for finally getting it together and being the kings we thought they'd be at the beginning of the season.  So I forgave (mostly) them (the Kings that is).  So the last night of March, I went to St. Paul to see the Kings, and this is my story.

La Crosse (the game, not the city)

I went to a la crosse game the other night with my sister.  She has season tickets to see the Minnesota swarm.  It was quite the experience.  I'd never been to a la crosse game before, nor had I ever seen it played so I really had no idea what I was getting myself into.  I have no idea what was happening, and they played chelsea dagger a lot (that part was awful lol).  It was loud and very interactive! So that was a plus.

Coasters: Week 1

I started making coasters with my cousin this week.  I discovered how to make them a few weeks ago, and she and I decided to give it a go.  She likes crafts and I do too, they might not be our strong suit, but we have a grand old time.  We headed to hobby lobby and picked up some modge podge and clear acrylic (both glossy) and some felt for the back.  Then we were off to menards and picked up some tiles.  We got 16 of them and they were $0.13 a piece.  Not too shabby.
