One Down, Three To Go...

The first game of the Stanley Cup Finals was tonight. And this is how I spent the entire three hours:

Frantically clutching my Canucks pillow.

Despite some incredible effort from both teams, the game was scoreless and scoreless and scoreless some more...

Then, in the very last seconds, Raffi Torres (who, coincidentally, scored the first Canucks goal I ever saw) smacked that puck in the goal and the Canucks won the game!!!

Incredible.

Go, Canucks!!!!!

(Also, for anyone who's wondering, the ring is rose quartz. And it's sooooo much prettier in real life.)

That was quite the game wasn't it!? I was a wreck. A goal in the last 18.5 seconds is so awesome. There's just something about the ones that are made in the last few minutes of a game. That was exceptional last night. Raffi is a beast!!

I wonder if Burrows will be reprimanded for biting. LOL he shouldn't have done it but he might get away with it. Not sure who'd play first line with the Sedins if he is out a game or two.

Jealous of your pillow but I had my Canucks snuggie over me last night.

Go Canucks Go!!

I live in Michigan, so of course I'm a Red Wings fan. But since my team was knocked out in round 2, I will cheer for the Canucks! How are you feeling in the 2 week wait? I know it's a long time! (I'm now 6 wks & heard the heart beat today) Go IVF!

I was wondering! FYI rose quartz is supposed to be a good thing to wear to "enhance" fertility, but maybe you already knew that and that's why you're wearing it...
crossing fingers for you.

well, what a big week you've had! i'm behind mounds of laundry & recovering from all the fun we had at disneyworld and also just plain behind on everything.
so-embryos look great (yippee, yippee, yippee)
so-guacamole looks good
so-garden looks green
and isn't it nice of the 'nucks to get your mind off your embryos with all this playoff business! as a sports fan (although not hockey) i know what it's like to have 'your team' keep winning so i hope all goes well with that cup thing.
does this mean the name stanley is on the list of baby names?
best, best, best

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.
