Candy, candy, candy!!!!

(title to be read as a chant from a game...just watched Ottawa eliminate NJ!)

I won some candy last week (Bella images from Stephanie!) YAY! I've decided to join in and pass it fwd.

I am sure you are asking "why?" Okay I know you are probably not...if you are anything like me you just want to know what the free stuff is! Still I am going explain why! Mostly because I had a great end of the week. Couple of reasons:
1. I met Chris Hadfield! I know I had a whole post about this, but it was a HUGE deal for me so you are all going to hear about it for a while!
2 I survived last week!!! Had our customers and some of the guys from the parent company in one place. Just one word...Yikes!
3. Ottawa Senators moves on to the conference finals!!! Woohoooo!!! Beat New Jersy in 5 games! May I just say again...wooooohooooo!!! I am huge happy Ottawa is moving on but I am also happy that Lou Amerallo (NJ coach) lost. I hate, hate, hate that he took over for the NJ coach right as the play offs start. A good reason wasn't given for this and the team played great during the season. Loyalty has to mean something!
4. I met Chris Hadfield!
5. My stamp club was yesterday. As usual I went super tired but had a lot of fun and came out, re-energized. Although since then, I have lost whatever little mojo I had!
6. My counter is at...shoot no idea. The counter jumped once Allison put me on her site! Ahh the power of Allison! Of course this could just be my close friends and family! Oh well I am okay with that! I am also impressed that my brother has restrained himself from leaving some snarky comment!
7. I have a really bad cold and sore throat...grrr....hate gargling! Please don't tell my mother I haven't done it yet!

I was really excited to post this but didn't really think it through. So the candy will be some clear Michael's stamps, some paper, some ribbon, some primas and whatever else I think of. I'll get it together and post a picture!

Update: Finally got a picture of the candy....see below!

So for those of you who skipped down to here I haven't yet said how you can be elligable! Since I didn't think it through I will ask that you leave a comment telling me where you are from and answer this lame question...Who do you think will win the cup? Be aware there is a correct answer! :)

I will pick a winner friday May 11, 8 am west coast time.

Cheers!

I'm going to say Ottawa, as I am a depressed Canucks fan. I always root for the Canadian teams, and now that my beloved Trevor Linden and the boys are off playing golf, I'm totally into the Senators!!! Plus I've always disliked New Jersey.
Take care!!

I'm from Kamloops, BC and I say Ottawa Senators should win...I realize that I will be swearing here, but I don't really follow hockey, but the rest of the family does and they are seriously cheering for Ottawa!!

10 years is a long time to wait to meet one of your heros! Thanks for sharing the photos of the exciting day you met Chris. I live in WA state & know that our Canadian neighbors love their hockey:) Sounds like the Ottawa Senators are the favorites.

First I was hoping Vancover would win but they forgot to show up (to nice of weather I guess they wanted to go golfing instead lol) So now I say go Ottawa! I am from Saskatchewan, and we love when any Canadian team wins!

I'm from a small town in BC (I'd rather not name it here), and I, like others here, am cheering for Ottawa now that Vancouver is out of it.

Caitlin said...

Hey, I'm from Ottawa, clearly cheering for the hometown team, the one that destroyed Jersey and is now moving on to destroy Buffalo! Love the blog, great candy!

It has to be the Wings-only because I have no clue who is left and the Pistons just got over and I am watching the other NBA stuff now. I did get the WIngs game tonight too Allison-apparently complianing about the black outs worked!
all I usually watch is ESPN-but verses and tnt are getting lots of play lately!

I am from an air force base in Texas and I am not too much into hockey, but all I know is my cousin plays and I think they might still be in it...(I am a bad relative) I'm not sure what team he plays on! Well anyhow thanks for offering!
