Lake Placid

Brandon's hockey team got to participate in a tournament at Lake Placid.  Lake Placid was where the 1980 Olympic games were held. The USA hockey team were the underdogs and went on to beat the Russians.  This accomplishment was considered a miracle.  Hence the name of the movie "Miracle on Ice".  

Although VFC team was listed as a B team, they played up to A for the Can Am Tournament.

lazy me

I was done work at 1:30pm. So I went home and decided to be lazy. No other perfect way to be lazy than sitting in front of the TV and watch a movie. I routed through our stack of movie selection and nothing really sparked an interest. So, off I went to the local Blockbuster. They had a sale: buy 3 movies for $20. I bought The Happening, Underworld and Underworld Evolution. They were listed under horror movies, but quite honestly they are not scary at all. On the way home I stopped at Arbys and bought a vanilla milk shake. Another sign of my lazy emotions.

****Here is where the story has a twist to it!

I actually stopped by the gym and signed up for a membership: as my milkshake is waiting for me in the car!!

I arrive at home with my movies, my milkshake and my new gym membership. I'm not completely lazy, because I do start a load of wash before I begin watching Underworld. It is a vampire / werewolf movie. I watch it while I cuddle on the couch with a blanket, a fire going ,and my milkshake.

2 hours later, I get up to begin dinner. I made spaghetti because it was easy. When I start the 2nd Underworld movie, I fold laundry while I watch it. This is about the time Todd comes home from work. I had to pause it to finish dinner. I would feel guilty if I didn't feed my hubby and kids! After cleaning up I finished watching the rest of the movie.

Todd announces that he is going to the gym. This should have been a hint for me to go to, but like I said, I was feeling lazy!! So I finish watching the 2nd movie. It is now about 8pm. I help the boys with their homework. And then about 8:45pm I put in the last movie. The Happening really wasn't worth staying up so late, but I did love my lazy day!!
