Weight: 152.2 (-0.8 lbs)
*As an aside... I was surprisingly anxious to get on the scale this morning. I'm not sure why. Anyways, I didn't make my 1 lb/week goal this week. I came close though, which is good considering my dinners this week were less than stellar. (Spaghetti & Meatballs, movie popcorn, and last night... chicken fingers, fries and beer). I suppose I should just be happy I'm not up a few lbs!
** Aside #2... Considering I was on the scale already this morning, I decided to weigh the cats. The big guy... 21.1 lbs!!!! And the little cat was 7.2 lbs. She's growing up fast!
***Aside #3... I decided to only do pictures once a month - I don't think there is going to be dramatic difference in 0.8 lbs.

Now more 2006... will it ever end?
2006 was one of those years that you're glad is over, but at the same time so many things happened that you don't really want to remember, but you don't really want to forget either so I'm kind of going to do a year in review sort of thingy. Here goes....
JANUARY
Hockey, Hockey, Hockey and more hockey! The Lightning had a blast at tournament even though it ended with me and a horrible sinus infection, and the start of W.'s lung thing. Alos, I think that was the month where W. lost his Grandma and a favorite cousin all in one week. It was a great month and a horrible month all in one. Dad and Grandma both had birthdays.
FEBRUARY
I turned the big 30 with a great birthday party planned for me by my fave cousin! Played a lot more hockey and tried to get over that nasty infection.
MARCH
I got to play in the Masters tournament! Fun, fun, fun. We only won one game but we had a good time. W. had his work hockey tournament and we BOUGHT OUR HOUSE!!!! It was still just a hole in the ground, but it was our hole in the ground! A stressful couple of days and some quick decisions but so exciting! Went to the CMHA convention in Edmonton - a fun ladies road trip and a very horsey weekend.
APRIL
April was Grandpa's birthday party and that's about it. I think that we just watched the house grow and started riding.
MAY
VEGAS BABY! W. and I headed for Las Vegas for the first time with his hockey team. We had a blast! It was our only holiday of the year and we made the most of it. May was also Mom's birthday.
JUNE
June brought our annual Ladies Clinic - riding, friends, food and wine! A great time for all. June was also W.'s 30th Birthday. We had a big party for him in his parents backyard and he played some ball that weekend too.
JULY
This was the month where W's lung problems escalated. We spent some time in a few different hospitals for tests. We also managed to get in a nice weekend of camping, just the two of us too. We found out that W. has cancer and that he's going to need surgery soon.
AUGUST
We headed down to Washington State for the C-Fair horse show, which was a blast! It was a little stressful being so far away and not knowing if W. was going to have to go for surgery right away. This was the only show I made it to this year, and it was a good one. We place in 4 of 6 classes and won one! Our first US show was a success! The rest of the month was a lot of waiting and wondering when W would have the surgery. We were also trying to find out whether we could move into the new place a month early. We also lost Tucker in August which made a very sucky month even sadder.
SEPTEMBER
Sept 1 was W.s surgery. He had 2/3 of his right lung removed and was in the hospital for 8 days. It was a pretty stressful time, but they got all the tumor out and it hadn't spread at all, so he pulled through really well. He was off work for the rest of September, recovering at home. He's doing awsome now - no remaining effects at all! September was also the start of a new season of hockey for me, and for our local CHL team. We have season tickets and go to all the games. This was also our 2nd wedding anniversary.
OCTOBER
We moved in at the end of this month! October was full of house stuff, furniture buying and meeting with lawyers etc. W. started back to work 1/2 time in the middle of the month and did well. We had a big moving party and were in the new house all in one day! It's gorgeous and wonderful and we are so happy there! Our Alberta friends were in town and we did a beautiful fall trail ride.
NOVEMBER
W. is back to work full time and hockey carries on. November was a busy month for me at work. W. starts playing hockey again! Things are right back to normal now. I played a lot of hockey and we had a tournament and the first Christmas event! I love Christmas! We also found our new kitten this month! She's made herself at home with us and we love her!
DECEMBER
More hockey, Christmas decorating and shopping filled December. W. lost another family member this month, one of his close Aunts passed away suddenly. I got stuck out of town for work due to some crazy wind and snow and wasn't able to get home for the service. We had a great Christmas with all of our families and had a well deserved week off between Christmas and New Years. Not enough time though! We need a vacation!!!
So that's 2006. Here's to hoping for a happy, healthy and fun 2007!

Let's call today Wednesday
So it looks like we have a new kitten. I don't think we're going to call her Mittens anymore though. It's too close to one of the big guys nicknames and I don't want to steal it from him. Yes, I'm having cat guilt. I feel bad for him. He's been the one and only for so long and now there's going to be competition. I hope that I can transition the new kitten into the house with a minimum of stress on him. It's going to be hard, but I guess I'm going to start tonight. We haven't even had one call or anything about the poor little girl. I don't know what else I can do. Someone is missing their kitten.
On a different note... last night was a super fantabulous whooping of a hockey game. It's been years since we've seen a game like that. My hands hurt from the clapping and my voice was croaky from all the cheering. Just like the old days. Many goals, fights, crazy opposing players. It was awsome. It's a good time to be a fan again :)

Bet you thought I wasn't coming back...
But here I am!!!
No luck on finding Miss Mittens' home yet. I toured her around to a couple of vet clinics at lunch time and she doesn't have a chip or a tattoo, and no one has recognized her yet. I called the radio stations and put ads in the paper, and I'm making a poster, so maybe I will find her people yet.
I would be so sad if it was my kitty who was missing and the people who found her didn't make the most effort to get him home to me. I feel a little teary just thinking about it.
She's really sweet, and if it comes down to it, I wouldn't mind keeping her, but I'm worried about how it will affect the big guy. He's pretty sensitive and I don't want him to think that we don't love him anymore.
Wish me luck! Hopefully we can find Miss Mittens' way home!!!

So I'm A Liar (plus! New Kitten!)
A big fat liar. I didn't even get two extra posts done yesterday, so I'm retracting what I said. The first post (yeah, the one that didn't count?), it counts now. So that was Saturday. The next one, that was Sunday.* This one here - this is Monday. Later will come Tuesday and we'll be all back to good.
So we have an adopt-a-kitten living in our garage right now. I want to keep her forever and ever and she can be mine and I will love her. I've named her Mittens and she is adorable!!! However, she is stressing out the big guy and she's not even been in the house yet. I keep telling him that I love him best, but I don't think he beleives me.
She's so cute though. She's little and black and white and has four white socks. She's very sweet and friendly and wants to sit in your lap and climb on you and rub on you. I'm trying very hard to find her owner, because she is obviously well loved, but I'm afraid that she was lost (or dumped) from a travelling vehicle. I'm taking her to the vet at lunch to see if she has a chip, in case she's from far away. I want to find her home, because I know if it was me, I would be devatstated to lose my kitty, but at the same time, in the back of my mind, I want to keep her.
*Shush. I know it's called "Hi, It's Saturday" but whatever. It works for me.
