I Wish I May. I Wish I Might.

“I just do what feels right. I think the great thing about getting to do what I do is that
you can try out being a different person without having to screw up your life to do it.”
- Anna Paquin

I Think I am Lost. And I Like It

For the past two days I have handed myself my latest addiction: Lost. Until this weekend I had never seen a single episode of the series and let me say, I wish I started watching earlier. What an amazing series. I think I was hooked from the very first moment of episode one. I’ve fallen in love with each and every one of the characters and cannot wait to see their stories develop.

Goodbye to You

Anyone that has been following me on Twitter knows I am a HUGE Detroit Red Wings fan, but I am specifically a huge fan of Todd Bertuzzi. I am heartbroken right now. The Wings lost in game 5 last night against the San Jose Sharks resulting in elimination. I am choked, devastated and saddened – cannot believe it happened. Hopefully, Detroit can pull off a win next season and Mr. Bertuzzi will be apart of the team. Love the Red Wings! Celebrate the Red Wings!

Sticks and Stones May Break Your Bones

I am officially a klutz. I fell on the stairs yesterday and broke 2 toes and managed to sprain and bruise the bone of my right foot. It hurts so much. I’ve never broken any bones before, so this is a first – and let me tell you, it hurts! I tried taking a picture of my foot because it is literally black-blue and extremely swollen, but I couldn’t get the resolution to work properly on the camera. My foot looked like it was glowing an exceptionally pale white alien-like colour. I’ll play around with the settings a little more and see what I can come up with.

Work has never been more solemn or sad before today. One of our longtime sales reps was fired. His firing came as a complete shocker to the entire office (even management), everyone has become completely unsettled by today’s events. It’s heartbreaking and not sitting right in the pit of my stomach.

Detroit Red Wings won Game 7 against the Phoenix Coyotes last night. <333 I love this shot taken during the (American) National Anthem. And can we say, "Damn! Todd Bertuzzi can sure grow a beard!"

I Know the Words, But I Cannot Really Speak Them

What an afternoon, the Detroit Red Wings played the Phoenix Coyotes today … unfortunately, Detroit lost. I hear you saying, “Rachel, you’re a Canadian girl from Winnipeg. What business do you have cheering for Detroit?” And I answer you, “I do not know – but it may have something to do with one of it’s players: Todd Bertuzzi.”

I know Todd has a bit of a reputation in the NHL that unfortunately will likely never be put to rest, but I do not care. I’ve been a fan of Big Bert since before “the incident” and supported him throughout the speculation and criticism. I’m happy to see Todd being a productive player among his Detroit teammates.

If all else fails, I can tell people I cheer on the Winnipeg connection: Darren Helm and Derek Meech. Both boys were born and raised in my hometown of Winnipeg!
