Last night was hockey night. Not only were the Canucks playing (they lost 3-2 to the Flyers), but so were the Chuck Norris All Stars, Mike's team. The CNAS played much better than the Canucks, winning 5-1, and dear Mike actually got an assist. He, of course, insists that he played poorly, but really he was quite fine. Lauren and her Mike came to watch the game as well, and we joked about my Mike blinding the opposing team with his shiny face mask and thus scoring lots of goals.
Well, he didn't score lots of goals, but the whole team played quite well, even though they wound up with two penalties (fighting, which the other team shared, and high sticking). In a 30 minute game, that's not too too bad... I asked Mike why they didn't play REAL hockey, and he looked at me blankly. I said "well, your periods are only ten minutes each, that's half what the NHL plays!". He looked shocked and said "we only play for ten minutes?!". Guess when you're in the game it feels a lot longer than that!
Today I signed up at Curves. I'm officially a middle aged lady going through a midlife crisis. They have a half hour strength training circuit, and membership is only $44 a 
month, so I decided it was worth it. I want to strenthen up my core and legs for the boarding season... Jumping around the spare room on my board is fun and all, but there's nothing wrong with an organised plan of attack either! Curves is a ten minute walk from home, and they suggest doing their circuit three times a week for best results, any more and you're just hurting yourself, any less and you're just cheating yourself. Off days you are to do cardio however you choose. Cardio won't be a problem in winter for me, hello snowboarding! And I suppose if I get really desperate I can run up and down our stairs a bunch of times. I did that yesterday and it worked.
Speaking of snowboarding, as soon as it snows around here, Mike and I found the perfect place to build a bit of a jump to practise our 'getting air' skills. Actually, I'm fully in support of it, because it is close and will be lots of fun. We have our passes all set up for Blue 'Mountain', and we get to ride 5
weekdays and 7 nights a week. Currently Mike's working day shifts, so evenings are perfect for us. Hopefully I'll be working days as well.

There haven't been any new care jobs in the past few days, but I'm applying for every one I see. Haven't heard anything yet, but most of the jobs are advertised until November, so there's a while yet until their close date, so I'm not too worried.
I made fish pie for supper last night, and it was a bit of a disaster. It overflowed in the oven 
(Mike's casserole dish was just a little bit too small), and was pretty runny. It did taste delicious, though, and Mike took leftovers for lunch today! He has tomorrow off, so we will both get to sleep in for a change. It seems like no matter how quiet he is in the mornings, I still wake up. As soon as he leaves, though, it's right back to sleep for me!

The gang is pretty excited about that! This weekend is the Hallowe'en weekend, so we have to decide which of the 10 parties we want to go to... I have my costume all set up, but I'm not sure that Mike does. Either way, we'll figure something out, and have a good time.
