Where's Forsberg?

That was the question the Sharks should have been asking themselves during sudden death overtime. I mean I'm sure Sakic was touched by all the attention he was getting during their rush to the net, but honestly. The only positive thing I can think of to say about it is that at least it wasn't Blake that scored that goal. Guess it's game 7 for us *sigh*

I'd spend some time discussing the earthquake last night but everybody's already sounded off about it so I'd just be repeating them at this point. It was...interesting. Our VP of sales was telling an amusing story about his little Maltese leaping onto a chair while he and his wife tried to coax it into leaving their wildly shaking house with them. Instead the dog barked at them in an accusatory manner and promptly peed all over the chair. Gotta' love it.

So aside from an ignomious defeat at the hands of Colorado and an earthquake two other important things of note occurred yesterday. First was that I got to Una's class and it was absolutely wonderful. I mean I know I'm going to enjoy it on some level, but I'm always naively surprised by the degree to which I do. I love her teaching style, I love her no-nonsense approach, and she looks like a complete goddess when she moves. If I can get even vaguely close to that level of perfection I'll be quite pleased with myself. I'm beginning to get the hang of veil work and my upper arms are feeling it today. A little gym time tonight will help move me towards the sculpted arms I'm hoping to attain. Not only do I want to be able to move, but I want to look good doing it.

The second item of note was that I paid off the last of my credit card debt yesterday. I'm officially out of that hole and I feel positively liberated. At least until Christmas this year when I'll promptly accumulate it all over again. But for now I'm going to bask in the glow of a zero balance. For the rest of the summer I can just save for my move, go me!

And I'm not sure why I have this sudden impulse, but I tend to follow my instincts so here goes. It occurred to me last night that while I don't get to spend a lot of time with many of my friends these days, I value each and every one of them. Every person I know adds something to my life, and I'd feel so...diminished, without even one of you. I don't know that I tell you all that often enough, but it's true.

Watching last night's game was a hell of an emotional rollercoaster; that plus the rolling of the ground was pretty freaky. I definitely worried a little, with so many people I cared about at the Tank, and was really glad it was over fast. And I had to wonder at how Toastybutt handled it, since I've heard pets get wacky reactions to earthquakes.

Congrats on the paid-off credit, that's wonderful! It's an amazing feeling to pull yourself out of debt, I know I was on a high when I managed it last year. And it's damn fun to save money, too--I mean, I like stuff, stuff is cool, but there's a wonderful sense of...something. Pride, maybe, at looking at my savings account, where there used to be nothing.

It'll be great to see you at the gym tonight! I think I'm in the groove where I just automatically push myself, looking for results in my body, but my competitive streak means I'm always extra on when people I know are around. ^_^;

And I'll echo your thoughts on friends; I'm very grateful for mine, even when I'm inexplicably busy and can't see many of them often enough

Rolling ground is cool! As long as it's short. too much and you get resonance effects and real damage. That's always bad.

re veil work: I fear starting shira's class becuase I know nothing of veil work :)

re freaky pets: The damn barking annoyng BARK BARK BARK BARK dog behind us finally shut up after the earthquake. That was nice. Jake and Elwood were briefly disturbed, but otherwise fine :)

Heehee.

I like you, too. :)

And referring to Angie's post, I have no idea how Toastette was last night. From reading Chuck's post from last night, I apparently need to pump him for info on my cat's activities yesterday.

oh yeah

FWIW, I think you mention it every couple of weeks in your journal. So if anyone feels that you're neglecting them, then they're on GOOD PURPLE SPARKLY CRACK.
:D

So where exactly does one get said crack anyway? *G*

Re: oh yeah

[aelfsciene.livejournal.com]

Well, I dunno about the crack part, but I could certainly make it purple and sparkly.
