Born just north of Phoenix Arizona, Crazy Cocker Spaniel was born into wealth. Life took a tragic turn though when she was just 5 months old when her owner had a stroke. Unable to care for CCS, she was put into the foster care system. Luckily, with her adorable looks and charming personality, CCS was quickly adopted. Adopted by me, a REAL hockey mom...well hockey PLAYING mom (the best kind there is). Oh and as a side note, I have eaten moose, killed a quail(I accidentally ran over it, but still) and wear lipstick. Her first years were quite an adjustment as CCS' mom did not lead a lifestyle where she was home much between teaching school, going to school and playing hockey. CCS was left alone a lot to be with her thoughts and to no doubt educate herself about the world around her. ;) Moving to Washington state was an adjustment as well. She was forced to learn to go the bathroom on grass(dirt and rock make up most of Phoenix landscaping)...and what was worse, wet grass. CCS has … [Read more...]
Number 3: Been in a Hockey Fight…
So right after everyone seemed to be doing the Omnivore 100 meme, another one came out. This time about things that you had done in your life. Number 3....”Been apart of a hockey fight”. Several people when filling that out commented that they were interested in knowing how I would answer that question. So here ya go. First off that question is vague. Hockey fight at a game where I was a fan or one in a game I played? For today's story we shall focus on the latter. Yes, I have been in a hockey fight, two for that matter, and both with boys. I of course can not say a man, because no man would hit a woman, but onward with the story. Fight number one I lost. I am playing. I score a goal. The next thing you know I was tackled by a very large man. He started pounding my head into the ice. I kept waiting for the referees to step in but they didn't seem to (wimps). So, I threw off my one glove (since my other arm was pinned down beneath me) and I started punching. He wasn't … [Read more...]
Whopper of a week….
You might have noticed me not leaving comments on your blogs the last week or so. Sorry about that. See, it started with a cold. Then stomach flu. But not how I normally get stomach flu. Normally when I get it, it attacks my body in a violent way expelling everything out my mouth and is gone in about 24 hours. Not this time. It was mild this time around but dragged on and on and on. I missed dinner with a friend, a baby shower and my week off from score keeping(I guess it was good I had time to rest). I did however still make it to my dinner at the Herbfarm. The stomach part has past but the cold seems to be sticking around, so kind of it. But since I seem to be getting better you should see my more in the blog world. This weeks TWD pick, chosen by Rachel of Confessions of a Tangerine Tart, was Chocolate Whopper Malted Drops. Once again though, I was not in the cookie mood. I know, not in a cookie mood? You think I would just do the cookies as they are simple. Not that my version in … [Read more...]
Ninja Training….
Our dog has an amazing ability to sneak up on you. One minute she is not there and the next her hot breath is on your neck and you never even heard her. Knowing this I decided to help earn her keep in the family I would try and train her to become a ninja(though I'm not sure how marketable that would be). We have the sneaking thing down pat. It's all the other stuff she is lacking. Let me just say I am thankful that we are using paper Chinese throwing stars otherwise I would be out a few eyeballs and there would be many a hole in the wall(of course I kid, we only let her play with nunchucks :P ). I had to come to the sad conclusion that my dog was not cut out to be a ninja and so I had to come up with another career for her. I chose President of the United States. This is after all a historic year in Presidential history. We are either getting a black president or a female vice-president. So I say why not a canine for 2012? At first she was reluctant because she does not like … [Read more...]
