• My Buckeyes got their asses throroughly beat (full article is below the fold–minus the links–in case it disappears into cyberspace one day) by the stupid Gatorades. It started off so well, too–we scored in the first 15 seconds of the game! Then it was downhill from there. I wonder how much of it had to do with the fact that Teddy Ginn got hurt during that 93-yard kickoff return and couldn’t play the rest of the game?
• I’m still awake! I was planning to play rat hockey at 10:15 this morning, but I seriously doubt that’ll happen if I get no sleep whatsoever. And I am wide awake. Well, wired, anyway.

After a month (at least) of not going to the gym, I finally went back today. Brian has been working out a few days out of the week, or at least playing basketball. I’m still playing hockey and have gone to public skate a few times with some of my teammates.

The depression has made doing anything really tough, so I’m glad that I finally went. We didn’t go first thing in the morning, which is my preference, but at least I did it.

I just did a 30-minute cardio work-out and some stretching instead of 20 minutes of cardio, lifting, and stretching, which is what we usually do on Sundays. I figure it was enough that I actually went.

Went to Target today; they had the SW LEGO sets I wanted! Made a deal with Brian–bought all three I’ve waited so long for, but can only open the extremely cool LEGO Star Destroyer that counts as a combo belated birthday/Christmas present, so we can return the other two (B-wing, which I swear is going to be retired soon, and Imperial Landing Craft) in case we need the money. Also means I have to get off my butt and sell the unopened, non-SW LEGO sets I’ve been meaning to list on e(vil)-Bay. All retired, though, so I should make a profit. When I make the money back, then I get to open them.

Been meaning to upload holiday and scrimmage pics. Trying to create and maintain a hockey blog here. Trying to fix old, old blog posts nobody reads except for the few SW fans that visit the bloggo and to get rid of the lame Amazon Associates links. Plus, I can track my moods and stuff in the archives.

Been meaning to do a lot of things like respond to comments and visit your blogs, but haven’t. Guess that’s why I feel so overwhelmed. Like Charred said in a recent comment, “Inhale. Exhale. Repeat as necessary.” And place one foot in front of the other. Thanks for sticking by me through this rough period.

For the very first time, the latest episode of CSI – Cat Scene Investigation involves murder. I woke up Christmas morning and was about to use the bathroom when I saw Hee Seop playing with what I thought was one of their mouse toys. Because I didn’t want to disturb him, I didn’t enter the bathroom, found Brian in the kitchen and excitedly whispered, “Go look–Hee Seop’s playing with one of the old mouse toys we got for Hopper and Basil. He’s played with it so much that I think it’s actually changed shape.” Brian peeked into the room, came out shaking his head, and remarked, “Uh, Barb, I don’t think that’s a toy.”

*sigh* Hee Seop looks so innocent, but he’s not. Our youngest is a murderer.
