All The Way Home...

All The Way Home...

Guess who didn't have to stay in Canada for a month, after all?

Me!

Got back to L.A. last night after yet another wonderful Canadian experience. (Although I only made it to one Canucks game, and they lost. Arg. Guess you can't win 'em all.)

I did manage to take this picture at the game, just for reader Chris Green (Mason Raymond, #21, is her fave):

And I took this one for myself:

Because my favorite player, if I haven't mentioned this before, is Daniel Sedin, #22. (His twin brother's not bad either. For those of you who aren't Canucks fans, that would be Henrik, #33.)

In an ironic twist of fate, this was waiting for me when I got home:

And suddenly I find myself rooting for the L.A. Kings to make the playoffs... just so I can wear my brand spanking new Sedin jersey to a game here in my home country!

Go Kings!

(And can I just say... WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME? Since when am I a sports fan? And of HOCKEY, of all things? But I love it. Can't help myself.)

LOL thanks for the pic!!! SO jealous of the jersey! I hope to get one soon.

I was thinking my chance to be at a real game this year was gone but the Dallas Stars are still in contention for a playoff spot. Dallas I can do. I'm from there. My parents are still there.

I love that you have had the same odd reaction to hockey that I have. And with the right team of course. LOL My family is still baffled with me about this. I've always been the one to tease people who yell at the television during a sporting event. "They can't hear you, you know?!" LOL at myself the first time I did it during a Canucks game. I think we are going to feel the loss of Malhotra for the rest of the season & playoffs though. He was known for his wonderful face-offs. Hope his eye heals.

So, I'm glad you are home and I bet the doggies are too. It's sort of nice that you didn't have to stay as long as you thought.

Take care! Go Canucks! ;-)

bummer for your house-sitter that she doesn't get to continue the hang in your gorgeous remodel ;)

My Books (with Elizabeth Craft)

'Bass Ackwards and Belly Up' and 'Footfree and Fancyloose' tell the story of four best friends who commit the ultimate suburban sin: putting off college to pursue their dreams.
Publisher's Weekly said: "Full of romance and adventure, laughter and tears, the story is a reminder that veering from the straight and narrow road doesn't always lead to a dead end."

What is Starfish Envy??

L.A. 2009. I’m stuck in traffic on the 101 freeway, listening to Isabella Rosselini on NPR. Isabella, for some reason, mentions that starfish are one of those rare species that can reproduce asexually, and I realize that if I could do that, I wouldn't have to worry about finding a boyfriend/husband. I wouldn’t have to internet date! I wouldn't have to figure out if I want to/can/should have a baby/adopt a baby/child on my own. I wouldn't have to stress about things like FSH levels, or weigh my feelings on in vitro versus adoption. I would just have a baby. Thus began my starfish envy.
