Take off you hoser...

I'm back at work today after what turned out to be a great weekend. Who would have thunk that a weekend where I ended up in the office on Saturday could be considered as great.

Friday night I pulled 2 numbered, multiple jersey patch cards out of blaster boxes from target. That's a pretty big deal in the sport card collecting world. I also picked up a new book, its called " The Bro Code", anyone that is a fan of How I Met Your Mother will know exactly what I'm talking about. The book is a really funny read.

I got to hang out with "the boys" on Saturday night, which was really nice. Sunday started out with a trip to church, which I haven't done since I got married I think, and then the rest of the day with some new friends. The highlights were a good game of street hockey, and the movie "Strange Brew". We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

I really think that the short taste of spring that we got this weekend, really helped my mood too. The sun and the warmth have made me happy for almost 3 days now. I only hope that my allergy medicine will help me to enjoy some time outside as the trees and flowers bloom. We shall see.

Further Proof that I'm really a 12 year old...

The wife and I exchanged Valentines Day presents last Friday night. Hers was an IPhone. I didn't pay for all of it, but my $$ helped her finish the purchase. Now that's a pretty damn cool present, most people would agree. My present were 2 boxes of sports cards. One box of the hockey cards I have been collecting all winter, and a box of the newly released 2009 baseball cards. Most people would call this quite the uneven trade, but I was like a kid in a candy store. Gleefully opening pack after pack of cards. I couldn't have been happier. Since then, I can't get my mind off the cards. I'm counting down the days until Saturday when I can run out and get myself another box. I know...."lame", but it's what I'm into. There is something about the chase that's got me hooked on the cards again. There's just something cool about opening a pack and finding a card with a piece of game used jersey on it, or one of only 100 cards of that type in existence.

So that's where my mind is today. I'm all engrossed in pulling an autograph or a rookie from a pack this weekend. Thank God for that too, cause it's been a LOUSY day. Maybe I'll play hockey tonight and take out my frustrations on a puck. We shall see.
