We Won Game 2 and Lost Game 3

This is a photo from tonight's game... which we lost 3-2 in regular time. I chose this photo because it shows an Anaheim player getting is ass handed to him and that made me happy.

One of many great saves of the night. This is from Game 2 which we won in 2nd overtime by a goal from Jeff Cowan. It was a great game, much better than Game 1. Go Canucks Go!

Oddities

This is a medic... they have a specific name which escapes me at the moment... for special occaisions however, they wear long hooded black robes...
The sign by the Duomo

The Boar... rumor has it if you rub his snout, and then put a coin as far back in his mouth as you can, and you let it go and it falls into the grate, you'll come back to Florence. (mine did just that so Florence, here I come)

The Canadian Consulate? We're not sure as we didn't find anything when we followed the sign except for a restaurant...

Ah... Shopping... A girls best friend

cute! another of Jenn's favorite outfits

Jenn's wedding dress
a paper shop... very popular in florence... and filled with the most beautiful things...
I thought I had more florence shopping photos but I was wrong... I think they're all in Rome...

Eating and Drinking in Florence

Jenn's daily gelato fix

I'm sure we bought something in here to nibble on

cappucino at Rivoire in the Piazza della Signoria

Cappucino to go?

Perche no! It means... Why not!

God bless gelato

San Lorenzo and Santa Spirito

Santa Spirito - a little church off a pretty courtyard that we found

San Lorenzo - burial place of the Medici Family

San Lorenzo is located outside the market area. So, we shopped and ate first before going in to see the church

Terrible start to Round 2

We lost Game 1 of Round 2 by a score of 5-1. Terrible. I can't say that I was pleased, however, it was only game 1 and there is a lot more hockey to be played. We're down 3 big D-men, and we're tired from our series against Dallas, however, that is no excuse. Tonight is Game 2, and there is no score yet at the end of the 1st period. Will keep you posted!

Back to the gym

Another quick note... After my weekend away at Wise, I managed to put on all the weight I'd lost since New Years. OUCH! However, within 1 week, I've already lost half of it - eating better and gym and pool 3 times last week. Yippeeee!

We're going to Round 2!

Well, we did it! We booted out the Dallas Stars in Game 7. They managed to tie the series in games 5 and 6, but they were no match for Roberto Luongo and the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7. It was all Vancouver all night! Vancouver tied the game in the 2nd period and then made it 2-1 in the 3rd. 2 more empty net goals and the game was over. Dallas is going golfing :) Wednesday night is Game 1 against Anaheim, so watch for updates.

Go Canucks Go!!!

I swore I'd never...

my girl Chelsea
Melissa S. Voted off tonight

... do this, but I just have to tell you how happy I am that Melissa S. got voted of "The Search for the next Pussycat Doll" tonight. She was such a bitch. She was cocky and arrogant, and really, not all that pretty, and she kept putting down Chelsea (yes, my favorite, she rocks and dayam, if the girl didn't drop 190 lbs to come and try out for this show). So what, Chelsea isn't the best dancer, but the girl can sing, and she picks up the choreography pretty darn quick. What did Melissa S. bring to the table? She's a great dancer, she has some decent vocals, but she had no personality, she brought nothing unique to the competition... and for that Chelsea moves on to the finale and Melissa S. hangs up her boa. God, I love Karma!

Canucks Lead the Series 3 - 1

WOOHOO! Game 5 is coming home to Vancouver on Thursday April 19th! That's when we're going to put Dallas away until next season! We're up, 3-1 in our series and it's getting SO good! Watched the game tonight with my dad. We had some pizza and beer and with the help of the "playoff rainbow" that came out for the 3rd period we won the game without going into overtime for a change... The "playoff rainbow" went away as soon as the game was over... it was rather uncanny, but you know, I don't care how we win, as long as we do!

Go Canucks Go!

The Weighting Game...

Just another quick note... I'm pretty much back to where I started after my Easter Weekend debauchery on Wise Island with the girls (photos to come later). And I was doing SO good too! I bought a salad for dinner, and some fruit and am going back to the gym tomorrow night... It's a start right?

The Playoffs

So... I'm here, just had to put in a note that Vancouver now leads it's series against Dallas 2 - 1 with an overtime goal by Taylor Pyatt, his first playoff goal. Yay! Game 3 is such a pivotal game, and can really swing the series towards a definitive winner... in this case? VANCOUVER!!!!! I'm so excited!
