Weekend Round Up

My Weekend Recap is now officially late.  Sorry folks!  I am hoping once the holidays die down a bit I can get back to a regular schedule!

Friday night we got gussied up and headed to The World's Greatest Hockey Franchise’s Christmas Party. 

My husband and I picked up my sister and her man and headed off.  I love car-pooling!  The party gets started quicker!  And then you can talk about everyone on the ride home … (Did I just say that out loud?!?!  Haha!)  Luckily, we were in great company as the conversation was like “So and So are so awesome!  I love them!”  “Me too!”  We are like the super, psyched car poolers!

Once we got to the party, we hung out for a bit and chatted until the food was all there.  It was a potluck, I LOVE me some potluck.  Let me start off by saying, my hockey franchise knows how to cook!  I love trying a pile of different foods; you can get many great ideas.  Anyone who knows me knows how I love me a buffet!

Appetizers:

This was so simple and tasty but the presentation made me very excited!

Our host made that meat, it was AMAZING

 

The Buffet: (I buffet like a champ, two heaping plates!)

Sushi!  Nom Nom Nom!

 

Bacon wrapped Water Chestnuts

I was in food heaven PS Those ribs were AMAZING, the meat fell right off the bone.

 

Mmmm… Dessert:  (I had two plates as well, diet?  What diet?!!)

Second serving of apple dip, that stuff was so addictive.

 

We finished up the evening with a Secret Santa stealing gift exchange.  (You know the one where you draw numbers to see who opens first and then you can steal a gift if you like it.)  I made out like a bandito and scored myself a one-hour photo session with a budding photographer.  The limit was supposed to be $20, I can’t freakin wait!  (Plus the girl who is the photographer is AWESOME!!! It will be so fun!)  In addition, my husband got an awesome hockey shirt, (Canadian Hat Trick - Goal, Assist, Penalty) which worked out great as it’s too small for him and really, he’s a goalie so the shirt doesn’t really pertain to him.  So I GOT THE TSHIRT!!!  Apparently I have become a jock, let’s just go with it people!

We had a lot of fun!  Great Food!  Great Peeps!  Great times!!

 

Saturday night we headed out to play hockey.  I SCORED A GOAL!!!!  We lost 2-1 but I SCORED A GOAL!!!  This is my third goal EVER!  Last year I had two goals for my whole winter season and I got zip my summer season.  As my sister is my teammate, we have an ongoing, fun, sibling rivalry of who scores the most goals.  She hasn’t scored a goal in almost two years, so there is a good chance I will be the highest scorer of the family for my second year in a row!!!  Let’s see if she gets a fire lit under her arse and puts my boasting to shame!!!  (Let’s go Buffalo Butt Breath!!! We use The Sandlot insults, as we are five apparently.) My husband’s team won I think 4-2.  It was a lot of fun!  As we had an early game we actually went out afterwards to the sports bar to see our teammates, there weren’t many who showed up but we had fun with the ones who did!!

Sunday was a shit storm.  We had tickets to see the Buffalo Bills in Toronto, due to illnesses and car problems, we missed out on going.  My husband is a Buffalo Bills fan and his Dad won him VIP Box tickets.  Now I am not a football fan in the slightest, but Gangham Style Psy was the half time show and I wanted SO BAD to see him.  In addition, apparently there was food in the VIP box and everything.  We suck and this did not work out as planned.  Ah well, maybe another time. 

That was our weekend!
