Flashback Friday

OK, so I'm a day late!

I found the tapes that my Mom had made a few years back of me and my sibs as kids (around 1 year old). I realized a few things:
1. My oldest nephew is the spitting image of his mom.
2. Although my sister and I look alike, her kids bear absolutely no resemblence to me.
3. I was a very cute baby, with very big cheeks (and still my sister's kids look nothing like me).
4. I tried to put everything in my mouth as a toddler (some things never change!)
5. My brother loved being in front of the camera. He was a real performer.
6. My brother's clothes from 1984 have not gone out of style, very cute then, very cute now.
7. My sister is one fine dancer ;)

Good Week

So far, I am having a pretty good week. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a few good things here and there.

I completed the 12 layout in 1 night (weekend) challenge. Check out my gallery. It was so much fun and a great way to immerse myself back in the scrapbooking world. It was great to see what my sister and Susie came up with as well.

On Sunday we got to go to the hockey game. The crowd was amazing (and yes we remembered to wear red!) and so excited. The Flames did lose the game, but it was still very exciting to be there.

On Monday I had a book club meeting and there was a great turnout. It usually turns into a gossip session catching up on everyone's new jobs, new relationships, new homes, and a little bit about some book we read. I also took a look at my dreaded tax return on Monday and found one teeny little number that I missed on the first go around. It changed from me owing money to getting quite a bit back (YEAH!).

Yesterday, we went over to one of our couple friend's home to watch the hockey game on TV. It was great because I hadn't seen that gang of friends for quite awhile and we always have a great time. This time, our Flames did win, so everyone was in a good mood.

And that's been my week so far.

Flashback Friday

Well today was the first game of hockey playoffs. Things get really crazy here in Calgary. It seems as though the city shuts down. Nobody follows their regular routines, it's all about getting together with friends at someone's house or at a bar to watch the game. It doesn't matter if it's a week night or a weekend, it's all the same. Listening to people cheer in the neighbourhood and living only two blocks from the Red Mile make this time of year especially exciting for us. Tickets to actually see a game live are nearly impossible to come by. My flashback today is from 2 years ago when we were lucky enough to get tickets to a Flames game in the Stanley Cup final.
