OH NO! I Guess It Could Be Worse...Like Illegal Drugs!

So I got this new game for my DS lite...Animal Crossing. I'm addicted! Pray for me!

A NEW Toy

OK, so it's been about 6 years since we got new cell phones. Aaron convinced us that the I Phone was the was to go (could it be because he has one????). Saturday, Gary and I went to the AT&T store at Easton and made the leap. We both now have new 16GB I Phones and boy are they SWEET! Now, all I have to do is figure the darn thing out! Wish me luck!

Another Year

Today was the 5th anniversary of Sean's death. We went to mass with Mom, Sue, Aaron, Jess, Leah, Bob, Rich and Betty. It was nice to have their support on a pretty rough day. We went to First Watch for breakfast with Jess, Aaron, Leah and Bob. I had never been there before and I will recommend the pumpkin french toast....YUMMY!

On a light note, Guinness and I graduated from the beginner agility class at Wild Weavers. We didn't get a diploma nor cap or gown but Guinness did wonderful (the handler on the other hand needs some work)! Mom got to see our progress and I think she was pleased too!

Gonna grab some dinner.

Celebration

We just got home from a great evening and meal at Fado's with Bob & Stephanie, Lori and Al, and Fr. Jeff. Fr. Jeff and Bob invited Lori and me (and our husbands) as a "Thank You" for our help with the Fiat Conference. It was a great night of conversation and laughter...the food was very good too! Thanks Jeff and Bob, I don't feel like I did very much but the evening was wonderful!

Good Dog!

Guinness and I did our 6th agility class tonight. Boy, is she talented. My fears of her being off leash are unfounded...she did really well (except for the shoot - which she didn't like at all tonight). Maybe we found something that she really excels at??? Next Monday, is the last class of this session. Wild Weavers will set-up a course and we'll go through all the obstacles that we have practiced in the class. Deb tells me that they'll let us go through twice. She suggested that I try Guinness on leash first and then off leash for the second run (just to see how she does) - I think I'll take her advice!

I'm gonna ice my knee now.

Sunday...

Gary and I just got home from another hockey night. Boy, did the Irish look bad...especially the 2nd period. They just seemed flat. Pretty funny when the OSU fans started shouting "Over Rated" the Irish fans shouted "OSU Football." It shut up the OSU fans! I can't understand how a team can be "over rated" when the ratings come from their record. It isn't like ND has played a bunch of cupcakes to get their record...they have already played Miami (OH), Michigan, Alaska and they split the series with OSU this weekend. Depending how Miami does, they still will be 1 or 2 in the league.

After the game, we went over to the Sony Store at Easton to pick up our new VCR/DVD player recorder. The goal is to transfer all of the VCR tapes to DVD. It's a nice piece of equipment...we'll see how quickly we get the job done.

Tomorrow, is agility again with Guinness. It should be a whole lot of fun!

A Nice Night

Gary and I just got home from a very nice evening with Dan and his wife Ayoung. We met them at The Rusty Bucket on Lane Ave and had a lovely dinner.

We then made our way down to the Value City Arena at The Jerome Schottenstein Center to watch the Notre Dame - OSU hockey game. We had tickets in the corner (section 127) and had a pretty good view of the game. Because of parking, we arrived to a tied score of 1 all in the 1st period. The Irish looked a little flat until the 3rd period. They were down 3-2 when an OSU player committed a major penalty (he basically sucker punched an Irish player) and was sent to the box for a 5 minute "time out." With 1 second left in the game, Erik Condra scored to tie the score. Of course, we went to overtime with a 'Power Play" and about 49 seconds into the overtime period, Carl Ridderwall scored the winning goal. Needless to say, it was very exciting!

It was a great evening and hopefully we'll get to repeat it soon.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Guinness and I went to Wild Weavers for my B-Day! It was great fun and she is doing so much better. She still is a little freaked out over the A-frame and the dog walk but she is coming along. I have to sign her up for the next level.
