the '08 halloween week summary

i love going to hockey games and if you haven't noticed, i'm a san jose sharks fan. :)

the picture to the right is from a game against the pittsburgh penguins where we won. :D

i wish i was at the last game against the detroit red wings 'cause we wont that 4-2. :D

why do i enjoy hockey? i like the skill and the fights.

to those of you who say hockey is brutal and unsportsmanlike, just remember, there are penalties in place for fights. for goodness sakes, we even have penalty boxes.

citywide blackout at my house due to stormy weather in the sf bay area.

that's an assumption, i really don't know what 'caused it because it was not mentioned in any of the local papers. it was pretty bad though. banks, malls, and el camino lights were all dead or tweaking.

this wouldn't bug me much except i was dropped off at the mall in the hopes of getting some important errands done, i.e.: ring finger sizing and work outfit shopping.

why the rush for this? well, i've been engaged for 4 years and we'd like to get my practice band replaced because we love its original style so much and we both need the bands to get married. i'll leave out the story of what happened to his ring as well as what happened to mine. yes, they're different stories.

today is halloween and i am doing anything but having fun. tomorrow is my cousin's funeral. i love my cousin, he was my male geek counterpart in the family and he will be missed. i wish i had gotten to know him a bit more but just from reading his blog, i know that we were very similar.

we'll be taking an 8 hour drive to southern california to make it to a funeral at 8:30am. yeah, we're not expecting to arrive at the hotel until 1:30am at the earliest.

my hope is to console the family and hoping that their experience with me and the cancer i had might help. i don't know how it can help but i'm praying that it will.

this is halloween, this is halloween...

This is an early candy tribute because we will be unable to take on the candy passer outer duties next week due to outside circumstances that we need to attend to.

geek and geek?

this pic is of me and my hubby at my exes' wedding reception.think i can replace the vow of man and wife with Geek and Geek?

is this what i've been reduced to? i kid, i kid. :)

Who am I?

> Just like everyone else out there I've got a cornucopia of experiences that make me an individual.

What makes me happy?

> LOTS of things, thank God.

What's my occupation?

> I've been in the IT field for quite some time (8 years) although not as long as my hubby. Darn the dot.com layoffs. I've loved tech since I was a little kid playing with Dad's engineering tools and testing equipment. I'm not going to be leaving the tech world anytime soon. Having the IT exec husband kind of secures me in that respect. I just need to figure out where I really want to go with all this experience.

What are my plans for the future?

> Walking, dancing, horsebackriding, skating (ice & roller), boarding (snow & boogie/water), getting wed in church, buying a shot at a home, batting cages, walking my dog, and starting a family.

What am I doing right now?

> Lots of rehabilitation to get my body restored close to what it once was. Lots of praising and thanking God for giving me such an awesome mate, pulling me through this mess I've fallen into, and for making me strong enough to be able to make it through.

Where do I live?

> I live in the burbs but I spend lots of time within inner city SF. We initially moved to this side of the bay thinking it would be safer than our old spot and it is; however, that doesn't totally get applied to our old and current stomping grounds.
