Hey everyone! Just wanted to write and say that I hope you like my website! I just published
it today so if you're reading this you could possibly be my first website viewer or one of them anyway! Take a look around
and tell me what you think in the guestbook! Don't be too harsh :-)
Sunday February 23rd,2003
Hey everyone. I'm in a bad mood right now because the leafs lost to the Nashville Predators.
The game tonight was pathetic! The refs called WAY TOO MANY PENALTIES on the Leafs! One penalty that they called should've
been against Nashville not Toronto! Green got slammed against the boards and what do they do? They call it against us! God
Nashville is a team with 57 points who probably won't make the playoffs. Toronto is a team with 75 points and they are going
to make the playoffs. So how come we couldn't beat Nashville? I dunno. The Leafs didn't seem to be there tonight. I turned
off the game during the 3rd period-I couldn't take any more of it. Nashville had a 2 man advantage! Also maybe the leafs were
tired from that game against the habs last night! That game was great cause we won it 5-3! Also they had to go from Montreal
to Toronto today because there was too much snow last night for them to get out of Montreal. Maybe the travelling wore them
out. Anyway disappointing loss. The only bright side to it all is that the leafs will be hungry to win against The Islanders
on Tuesday and The Red Wings on Thursday. Plus they don't really have much competition with Nashville anyway! Better to lose
to them than say Boston or Montreal! Sorry about all the ranting but I had to get all that off my chest! Typing usually
makes me feel calmer! Anyway I should talk about my weekend. Saturday just hung out at home and watched the leafs and habs
game at night. This morning I went to church with my parents and then to the mall. I bought 2 new sims games:house party
and vacation. I can't wait to play those more! I also had lunch at the mall. My favorite place to get food was closed:A&W.
That disappointed me naturally but I went to Mrs Vanelli's and got a slice of pizza. Their pizza is pretty good. Thank god
they at least were open! Anyway then we came home and I relaxed during the day. Tomorrow I go to my volunteer work placement
at the dollarama. By the way after my placement on Thursday I bought some nice stuff from them:a day planner,popcorn,chocolate
bars and a workout cd. It is such a nice store! Anyway I'm gonna go now. Hope you had a good weekend and I hope I didn't bore
you too much! Peace out!
Thursday February 27th,2003.
Oh god where do I begin? That leafs/wings game tonight was despicable! The worst leaf game
I've seen this year! I expected it to maybe be a little bad,like maybe a 2-1 loss or something close to that but holy shit!
I never expected a 7-2 loss! Yikes how embarrassing! The leafs need defence! Maybe this will be a wake up call! Get rid of
Lumme and Svehla! Forget about trading McCauley and Boyes for Owen Nolan! We don't need another forward! I went on the leafs
official quote zone board on their website and a Detroit fan wrote "its awfully quiet in toronto tonight!!keep your garbage
hockey club on the curb.you all come back to HockeyTown if you want another lesson!!!!". How frigging rude! Just goes to show
how mature fans of THAT team are! By the way Detroit is NOT hockey town! Get over it! Well I gotta go now. Just thought
I'd rant and rave! Bye for now!
Saturday March 1st, 2003.
Well hello everyone! Just thought I'd write an entry and talk a bit about my day. Wow I can't
believe it's March already! God, time does go by fast! I can't wait til Spring! I'm getting sooo sick of all the snow! If
you live in Owen Sound you know what I'm talking about lol. If not well you'd be sick of it too if you lived here! Um about
my day. Well this morning I went to the mall with my parents and bought some stuff: a book called The Ghost of Carnal Cove and
also Chicken Soup For The Canadian Soul. Oh and don't laugh at me but I also bought a Weekly World News. Yes Yes I know
that it's a junky paper. I know that most of the stuff in it is a pack of lies but a lot of the stories are
sooo funny! Anyway I want to talk about something that happened to me at the mall this morning. I was walking along with my parents
and shopping bag minding my own business and heading for the doors when these 3 tall guys walked past us(we
think they were ohl hockey players) and one of them said "The Leafs suck"! I was wearing my leafs jersey so
they saw it and said that! How rude eh? I didn't let them get away with this comment. I said "Shut up!". Usually
I'm shy but not that time. Anyway my mom said that maybe I shouldn't have worn my jersey because of their 7-2 loss to
Detroit on Thursday. Well guess what? I'm a leafs fan forever through all their ups and downs. Anyway they could've
even been leaf fans that just wanted to get attention. Who knows with some people? LOL. Who cares what they say? Most
people that live here in Owen Sound love the Leafs so they probably said that nasty comment to lots of
others as well. Anyway moving on...... the leafs play Carolina tonight. I think Kidd will be in net instead of Belfour.
Hopefully it'll be better than Thursday's game. I hope we beat the Canes! Well I gotta go now. I'll write tomorrow and
tell you how the leafs did tonight! Bye for now!
Sunday March 2nd 2003.
Hello! Well I know I've said it before but I'll say it again:this weather sucks! It's frigging
cold out there! My mom and I had to walk over to the church for their communion breakfast/lunch(my dad couldn't drive us because
he was working over there) and man I was freezing by the time I got there! We could've called a cab but no my mom wanted me
to get a walk! brrr..... After that lunch my parents and I went to the mall for a bit. Well anyway I promised you a review
of the leafs game from last night and here it is: We beat the Canes 4-1!!! YAH! And Irbe was in net for them which was good
he he! Anyhow the Canes scored the first goal but then the leafs tied up the score and didn't look back scoring 3 more goals!
A lot of those shots from the leafs should've been in:they hit the cross bars and there were 2 that were in the net that the
refs disallowed! The score should've been higher than it was but hey we got the 2 points and that's all that counts! We certainly
made up for that horrible loss in Detroit! RIGHT ON! The Leafs have to play Monday,Tuesday,Thursday and then Saturday! Heavy
schedule or what? Also the Jays won their first spring training game against the devil rays yesterday! 2-0! They are playing
today too and I'm trying to download real player one so I can listen to the game but it's taking FOREVER! I have the raptors
game on right now muted so I can listen to the attack game on the radio. I also want to know what's happening with the jays
right now but holy crap that real player! :( Anyway sorry about all the ranting and raving! Bye for now!
GO LEAFS GO!!!!!! GO JAYS GO!!!!!!! GO RAPTORS GO!!!!!! GO ATTACK GO!!!!!!!!
Tuesday March 4th 2003
Hello all. God I am sooo pissed off right now! That leaf game tonight was the pits! They
lost 4-1! They got a lot of penalties tonight! It was sooo biased! As for The Sens well they are friggin' cowards! They
won't fight back! No wonder they get kicked out of the playoffs year after year! Hopefully again this year too...... Bad loss
for the leafs! That's 2 in a row now! They have got to pull up their socks! No more 2 man disadvantages! Hopefully Thursday
they can kick Buffalo's asses! Well that's all I've got to say for now! Bye!
Wednesday March 5th,2003
Well it's me again! I just wanna say something about 2 leaf players. Darcy Tucker got suspended
for 5 games because of charging the Sens' players bench last night. Tie Domi got suspended for fighting one of the Sens players.Tucker
said that Neil spit on him from the bench. I don't know if it was Chris Neil or one of the other Sens' players or maybe even
an Ottawa fan but Darcy would NOT lie about being spit on! SOMEBODY spit on him! I think that a 5 game suspension is
a bit much and as far as I'm concerned Domi should not have been suspended at all! He was hit in the balls with a sens
players' hockey stick! What the hell do you expect him to do? Stand there like a wuss? I don't think so!!!!!!! Of course he's
going to fight back! So he gets kicked out for it! Man oh man...... Anyway it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I was
sure that Domi and Tucker would be suspended for the rest of the season and possibly even the playoffs! Thank god it didn't
come to that! Whew......... Also Ottawa Senators players, Chris Neil and Karel Rachunek have each been fined $1,000, for their
involvement in an altercation from the players bench in last night's game! Good! They deserve that! Had to get all that off
my chest! Bye for now!
Thursday March 6th,2003
Well hi loyal website viewer(s)! So nice of you to continue reading all my ramblings(which
you probably think is a bunch of nonsense garbage lol). Anyway I have some more leafs news: Alyn McCauley,Brad Boyes
and a first round draft pick have been traded to the San Jose Sharks for forward Owen Nolan. I don't know what to think of
this deal yet. I'm going to have to see Nolan play before I judge the guy. I've heard that he's a power forward. I dunno I
mean the leafs had to do something I guess but I'm a bit wary of giving up one of our future prospects Boyes. I mean what
if he turns out to be the next Gretzky or Gilmour? However I'd rather he be given up than Colaiacovo. As for McCauley going
well I really didn't want this deal to fall through but now that it has I'm not too sure what to think. Of course I feel sorry
for Alyn because of his heart being in Toronto and everything and I'll miss him(he was my favorite player for a while) but
he wasn't exactly playing up to par this season. Well we'll have to see what happens with Owen Nolan! Naturally I have
some concerns but I had some with Belfour too and he turned out to be my favorite player! So let's wait and see! Anyway just
wanted to write it all down as usual! :) See ya later!
Shannon.
P.S. The Jays are now 5 and 0 in spring training. I'm not too sure if they won their game
today or not. I'll update you as soon as I find out!
Saturday March 8th,2003
Hey there! I don't have long to write this entry. I gotta get off soon for church. I just
wanna tell you all that the Jays lost that game on March 6th. Remember I told you I'd update you? Well they lost the one yesterday
too but they won today against the Devil Rays 6-2! Right On! It was televised too-the first one! GO JAYS GO!!!!!! The Leafs
unfortunately lost to Buffalo on Thursday 4-2! :( The funny thing is I predicted the score as 4-2 Leafs on a messageboard.
I got it ass backwards! Well tonight the Leafs play the Canucks with Nolan making his debut at the ACC! Let's see what happens!
I'll tell ya about the game tomorrow! Well I gotta jet now! See ya all and GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday March 9th,2003
Hello everyone! Well I promised I'd fill you in on the leafs/canucks game from
last night so here it is. It was a friggin' tie. Yup you heard me right, a sister kisser. The thing that frustrates me
the most about it is the fact that the leafs were ahead 3-2 and then the canucks tied it up 3-3 for overtime. If we
could've only held them off we would've won the game. But oh well that's the way things go sometimes. At least we didn't lose
and we got a point. Owen Nolan played great getting 2 goals! Not bad for his first game with the leafs! :-) I thought
for sure that he should have gotten the first star not Bertuzzi! Plus they gave Vancouver 2 stars! What kind of
crap is that???? The game was in Toronto and it was a tie. Usually in that case you give the home team 2 stars and
the visiting team 1. Nolan got 2nd star but he definetly should've gotten the first one. Anyway that game is over. Tomorrow
we play Edmonton :( The leafs always have a problem with them especially Belfour. He's my favorite leaf and all but I hope
that Kidd is the goalie tomorrow! Anyway after the game vs the oilers is over I'll write another entry and
tell ya how it went! By the way the jays lost in spring training today and the owen sound attack game ended with a sister
kisser too against the London Knights. As for the Raptors they beat Atlanta last night! Well bye for now!
Tuesday March 11th,2003
Well it's a little after midnight and here I am writing a journal entry! Weird I know but
I just want to write about the leaf game(started at 9:00 and ended around 11:30). The first two periods sucked. The Leafs
were flat trailing the Edmonton Oilers 1-0. Then the third period what a difference! They came out strong and determined scoring
3 goals and Mats Sundin got his 1000th career point! Way to go Mats baby yeah! The final score ended up being 3-2 Leafs! I
can't wait for the trade deadline to be up. Man I'm getting nervous thinking about who the leafs might trade! Anyway
I gotta go to bed now! I'm heading off to toronto tomorrow and will be there until Thursday so I won't be writing
another entry until Thursday at the earliest! Well bye for now! Goodnight loyal website viewer(s)!
Friday March 14th,2003
Hey all! Well that leafs/flames game last night was pathetic! The Leafs had 3 shots
on net in the first 2 periods and pretty much stunk in the third too! McCabe and Domi were the best leafs last night! Actually
Kidd didn't do too badly either stopping 34 shots but what can you do when your defence is poor? Also Gilmour
has a knee injury! His first day back as a leaf too! Damn! The poor guy! I hope it isn't anything serious! I hope that he
can play more games this season and I hope that he is back for the playoffs! Anyway the leafs did get a point last night!
That's the only silver lining in that game! But they couldn't beat Calgary????? My god if they can't beat them how are
they going to beat Vancouver tomorrow night????? Common Leafs pull your socks up! Everything seems to be against them
lately! Let's kick the Canucks' asses tomorrow! GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!! Bye for now!
Sunday March 16th,2003.
Hey All! I can't believe what just happened! I had my journal entry for today all written
up for you to read and tripod erased it somehow! I don't know what happened but damn why did they do that???!!!?? Anyway I
saw Chicago at the movie theatre today and it was amazing! You couldn't stop tapping your toes through the whole thing! I
felt like I was right on the stage dancing and singing myself! Go see this movie! Next the leafs/canucks game! The leafs played
one of their best games this season shutting out Vancouver 1-0! Excellent work by Belfour who definetly deserved that shutout!
The guy is super human!!!!!!???!!!!! Great goal by Nolan too! As for the Owen Sound Attack they lost 4-1 to Guelph last night!
Oh well they are going to get in the playoffs anyway! As for the Raptors they lost last night! They are definetly NOT going
to get in the playoffs! Disappointing but oh well! Maybe next year! The Jays beat the Reds 2-0 today in spring training!
Great work in the pre-season! Hopefully regular season will be the same! The weather here in Owen Sound by the way is really
nice! Nice and sunny! :-). Hopefully more and more as they days go on! Well I gotta go now! Have a nice day and night! GO
LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!
Wednesday March 19th,2003.
Well hello all! I just want to start off by saying that I'm sooo worried about the war! I
don't want it to happen but I know it's going to. The States are going to fight Iraq. It's not right. Sorry if some of you
Americans get pissed off at me for saying this but I want peace instead of war. Don't get me wrong I think that Saddam Hussein
is a monster but a bunch of innocent people in Iraq are going to die. Now you may argue with me and say "but what about all
the innocent people that died on September 11th?" My answer is: I felt awful about all those innocent people that
died that day. I cried as much as the Americans did but there are a lot of innocent people in Iraq too that also don't deserve
to die. Saddam Hussein definetly does not care about his people or he wouldn't have tested chemical experiments on them and
he would get out of Iraq. He does not care that a lot of them are going to die. He is a complete heartless lunatic. As for
President Bush I don't like him either because he's a war monger. Anyway I'm going to change the subject now because
the war talk is very depressing. How about I talk about the hockey game last night namely toronto maple leafs vs
new york islanders. I didn't see the first period and I only saw a little bit of the 2nd period. The leafs were winning 2-0
when I got home from the weekenders party that my mom and I were at(you'll only know what this is if you're a female). They
kinda fell apart in the third period. Figures when I start watching that happens. The Leafs scored with a few minutes left
in the third period to make it 3-2 for them. Then a little while later the islanders scored making it a 3-3 tie. Damn if the
leafs could've only held onto that lead.... Anyway it went to overtime and the final score ended up being a 3-3 sister kisser.
Oh well the leafs really tried in overtime, doing terrific in fact but the islanders goalie really shined unfortunately for
us leafs fans. But fortunately for us leafs fans we've clinched a playoff spot! That's right! YAH!!!!!!!!! By the way the
jays/devil rays spring training game just ended in a 4-4 tie. Darn if only the jays could've held the lead......what is it
with toronto teams not being able to hold their leads???? Anyway not that important. Only spring training. In the real season
they'll go extra innings til one team wins. Well I better go now. It's going to be a boring 2 days. No more soap operas
on til next Monday!!!!!!!:-( Anyway see ya later and GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!
Thursday March 20th,2003
Well hello loyal website visitors! Well the leafs played the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight
and boy did they play awful most of the night! The refs were calling most of the penalties on Toronto, they could only see
one colour. Plus a Blue Jackets player tripped Nolan and Tucker and was a penalty called for them? NOPE OF COURSE NOT! Man
oh man....... Anyway that aside the leafs were leading 1-0 after the end of the first period and then 2-0 in the second period.
Unfortunately that wouldn't last. Columbus tied up the game 2-2. Then it was 3-2 for the jackets. The Leafs tied it up
late in the third courtesy of Owen Nolan. Then can you believe it? Columbus won 4-3 in overtime! Man how disappointing
but at least the leafs got a point out of that game which they were lucky to get. Kidd was the goalie tonight. He
didn't do too badly at times but some of those shots that went in he should've had. Anyway nothing you
can do about it. It's over. About the war on Iraq. Man it's horrible! I definetly do not support this war! I don't want to
see a bunch of American Soldiers get killed and I don't want innocent people in Iraq to get killed! I may not see my
soap operas for a while because they are showing lots of war coverage which I am getting sick of! :-( I hope that it doesn't
interfere with the leaf games tv broadcasts. I mean we need to watch our usual tv shows to get our minds off this whole
ordeal. Man oh man I'm scared for the American Soldiers....... I'm glad that Canada isn't involved in this war! Thank God
for that and shut up Ernie Eaves! Anyway see ya all later!
Sunday March 23rd,2003.
Well hi all! How was your weekend? Mine was okay. Uh yesterday I didn't really do much. Just
stayed home,did some laundry,read,went on the computer and played games,went on the internet etc. Yeah I know sounds boring
but it was a relaxing day except for the laundry part of course but other than that..... Well last night I watched the Leafs
vs Sabres game. The Leafs really didn't play too great during those three periods except at the end of the third they scored
tieing up the game at 2. Eddie did great keeping us in there. I really didn't have much hope that they'd win it the way it
was going. On to overtime. About 40 something seconds into overtime Bryan McCabe scored(and it was a beauty goal let me tell
ya!)winning the game for the leafs! YAH RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!! Way to go McCabe! Hopefully they can beat the Bruins tomorrow
too! Anyway the Owen Sound Attack are in the playoffs and have lost their first 2 games to Plymouth ufortunately
:-( Disappointing but maybe they'll win on Tuesday! I hope so! Anyway the jays won 4-1 in spring training yesterday against
the Reds. The game today against the Pirates got rained out.Wow! I can't believe that the Jays start regular season a week
from Monday! Spring Training is just flying by! Well moving on now. My friend Kristen came over today to hang out with
me. We were on the computer playing the Sims and then we went online. Well I gotta go now! Peace out all and hope your weekend
was fabulous! Bye!
Tuesday March 25th,2003.
Well hi everyone! It's a really great day outside! The sun is shining and it rained over
night and the snow is melting away which makes me really happy of course! :-) At 1:30 today there was war coverage on so I
missed the bold and the beautiful. At first I was like oh damn, then I was like oh well who cares the show is getting SICK!
If you watch it you know what I mean. I watched an old rerun of Family Matters. I used to love that show and it's fun to watch
the re-runs of it once in a while. There was nothing else on and it sure beats war coverage which I am getting sick of.
Hey some of the episodes I didn't see because they got too stupid just before they pulled the show off the
air. Anyway let's talk hockey. Last night's leafs/bruins game was bad. The Leafs play horrible. They weren't even there. Plus
the refs picked on them as usual. Boston beat them 3-2. Tonight the leafs play the Carolina Hurricanes. I hope that they
show up tonight in body and mind and not just body. Tonight the Owen Sound Attack have a playoff game in Plymouth. The
Whalers have already beaten them 2 in a row. I have a bad feeling that they will get beat 2 more times kicking
them out of the playoffs. They have trouble with that team. Anyway we'll have to see what happens with the
Attack and Leafs! Oh and one more thing! Please pray that there can be a peaceful ending to this war against
Iraq soon! Bye for now!
Wednesday March 26th,2003.
Hey everyone! How are you all today? Well the leafs have the night off which is probably
what they need. Can you imagine playing 2 games in a row? Holy mackeral! Anyway last night's leafs/canes game was frustrating.
The first period Toronto did really good. A lot of their shots should've been in. They either hit the crossbar or the posts.
They did however get 2 in so they were leading 2-0 by the end of the first period. The second period they didn't play good
at all. Carolina tied up the game 2-2. Now onto the third. Toronto scored leading the game 3-2. I was thinking hey maybe they'll
win! No such luck. My hopes were dashed. With about 30 seconds left to go in the game the Canes scored tieing up the game 3-3.
Suddenly overtime came. The leafs nearly scored in overtime with a breakaway by Mogilny but that darn Carolina goalie saved
the puck. The game ended with the final score being 3-3. A stupid sister kisser. The Leafs didn't lose but it sure felt like
a loss since they were soooo close to winning that game! Man they can't even hold a lead for 30 seconds! How friggin' disappointing!
Oh and the Owen Sound Attack lost their 3rd straight playoff game to Plymouth last night. I have a feeling that they
will lose their 4th one too. Disappointing as well. Anyway I gotta go now. Bye!
Thursday March 27th,2003.
Well hi everyone! I just wanted to write in here and say that the Owen Sound Attack got beat
out of the ohl playoffs 3 straight games unfortunately by the Plymouth Whalers. It's very sad and disappointing but Plymouth
seemed to have their number. Oh well there's always next year. They made a good effort coming back in the game tonight getting
2 goals when the Whalers were ahead 3-0. Good effort! Well see ya all later! I only wanted to write an entry to let you know
what happened with the Attack. Bye!
Friday March 28th,2003.
Hello everyone! What's up? Well I just wanted to write and say that two of my favorite sports
teams won tonight:The Leafs beat the Islanders 5-2 and the Jays beat the Devil Rays 4-3 in spring training! YAH!!!!!!! I'm
going to my sister's house tomorrow in Oakville! I'm leaving early in the morning! Gotta get up at about 6:50 am :-( Oh well
it'll be worth it to see my adorable neice! :-) Well I don't have much time to write because I gotta get off at 10:00 and
it's almost 5 to 10 so I hope that you all have a great weekend! I won't be writing another entry til Sunday at the earliest!
Bye for now!
Sunday March 30th,2003.
Hello website viewers! Welcome to another day in the life of your webmistress Shannon! Had
to say that :-). Well I went to my sister's house in Oakville yesterday and returned this afternoon around 2:30 or a little
bit after. I had a pretty good time except that I didn't sleep half the night in the top bunk bed :-( But that's another story.
How about I focus on the good points of the visit? My neice is sooo adorable! My sis,parents and I took her to the mall in
the morning and she was a bit fussy but overall behaved pretty good. I played with her during the day and watched tv too.
For dinner my sis,her hubby,my parents and I had pizza! YUMMY! It was delicious! The wings were good too. That's the part
my brother in law likes the best. He actually doesn't care much for pizza. Anyway we also watched the leafs/caps
game. My brother in law isn't into sports so I watched the first period on another tv but during the second he put it
on for us. The game was a 3-3 tie going into overtime and the leafs won it courtesy of Mats Sundin! Way to go Mats! I also
loved the opening ceremony about Sundin before the game! It was awesome! The Leafs play next against New Jersey on Tuesday
night at 7:30 in New Jersey. Should be a test of how they'd do against them if they had to play them in the playoffs! Toronto
has 3 more regular season games left and then playoffs start! LET'S GO LEAFS!!!!!Wow I can't believe that the jays start regular
season tomorrow! Spring training went by so fast! They play the New York Yankees at 7:05 pm at the Skydome. GO JAYS GO!!!!!!
I hope that they kick ass this season! Well I better go now! Go Leafs and Jays!!!!!!!!! Peace out!
Monday March 31st,2003.
Hey everyone. I can't type much because I gotta get off the internet in a minute. I just
wanna say that the yankees beat the jays 8-4. Disappointing but the yanks were ahead 8-0 at one point and the jays fought
back and got 4 runs. However it was too little, too late unfortunately. I turned the game off when it was 8-0 but flipped
it on once in a while to see the score. I saw Toronto get the 4 runs. At least they showed some signs of life and 5 of those
yankees run were unearned. The Jays could've won that game 4-3 had it not been for their errors. Oh well hopefully tomorrow
against New York will be different! Anyway bye for now and despite that loss tonight: GO JAYS GO!!!!!!! And GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!
The Leafs play New Jersey Devils tomorrow at 7:30 pm in New Jersey and the Jays play the yankees at 3:35 pm tomorrow.
Anyway see ya all later.
Shannon.
P.S. I forgot to mention that my dad got Jays tickets for July 11th! They are playing
the Yankees and we're in the 100 level section 128 row 5! Those are the best seats I've ever gotten! I've never
been in the 100 level before-always 500! I'm sooo excited! They better whip Yankee butt and play better than they did tonight!
Tuesday April 1st,2003.
Hey All! GO SENS GO!!!!!!! HA HA HA GOT YA! April Fool! :-) Anyway time to be serious. The
Leafs won 3-2 in overtime tonight against the New Jersey Devils!YAH!!!!!!!!!!! I needed that after the jays lost yet again
to the yankees! This time the score was worse:10-1! Holy crap! They've gotta pull up their socks! They have to play them again
tomorrow but it's not being televised! The Leafs play the Minnesota Wild on Thursday in Toronto and then the Ottawa Senators
on Saturday also in Toronto. GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!! And Jays please start playing ball! Bye for now!
Thursday April 3rd,2003.
Hey all! What's up? Well the jays lost last night AGAIN but this time 9-7 to the yankees.
They fought back at the end after being behind 9-1! God they've gotta win some games here! Anyway on a brighter note
the leafs won 2-1 tonight against the Minnesota Wild! Eddie Belfour was EXCELLENT! Man the guy is superhuman! :-) Hopefully
the leafs can beat the Sens on Saturday night too! That would be a great way to end the season going into the playoffs! :-)
The Jays play the Minnesota Twins on
Saturday night as well! I hope that they can beat them! GO LEAFS AND JAYS!!!!!!! Well it's
April and it's snowing outside :-( God I'm sick of snow! It's a like a winter wonderland out there! The road in front of my
house is covered in snow and so are the lawns! I don't think we're going to have a springtime! :-( Damn I can't wait til summer!
I was born in Toronto and like visiting and everything but I'm glad I don't live there anymore because of the whole
SARS thing!(in case you're confused I moved away from there in 1993) God it's gotta be scary for the people living there
and the poor people that are ill with it and have died from it! I hope that disease doesn't come here to Owen Sound!
Anyway bye for now!
Friday April 4th,2003.
Hey all! Well it's snowing big time outside but luckily I'm cooped up in my comfy home! :-)
And I'm very happy because the Jays won 7-2 over the Minnesota Twins! They needed that after losing 3 in a row! I hope that
they can beat them tomorrow night and Sunday too! The Leafs play the Sens tomorrow! If they beat them they'll finish the hockey
season with 100 points! Common guys! Anyway gotta go now! GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!! GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!!
Sunday April 6th,2003.
Hello all! What's up? It's my aunt's birthday so my parents and I took her out to the movie
theatre today. We saw bringing down the house! It's soooo funny!!!!!!!! I love it! :-) Definetly go and see it if you haven't
yet! You will laugh yourself silly! It's hilarious! Queen Latifah and Steve Martin Ruled! Well not to change the subject but

The Jays beat the twins on Friday,Saturday AND today! They swept them! WAY TO GO GUYS!!!!!!!! They needed that after losing
3 in a row to the yankees! Keep up the good work guys! By the way the leafs play the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday in the

Tuesday April 8th,2003.
Hey all! Well I watched the blue jays vs red sox game on the gameday play by play(it wasn't
aired on tv except on satellite channels which I don't get) and the jays won 8-4! Right on! They've now won 4 in a row! Keep
it up guys! :-) Wow I can't believe that the hockey playoffs start tomorrow night! Holy crap! I hope that the leafs beat the
flyers out! Let's Go Leafs!!!!!! Anyway gotta go now!
Wednesday April 9th,2003.
Hey everyone! I am one happy camper right now! The Leafs won game one of the series against
the flyers 5-3!!!!!! It wasn't a pretty game but they got the win and lead the series 1-0!!!!! YAH!!!!!! Hopefully Friday
they can win too!!!! Also the Jays beat the Red Sox 10-5!!!!!! YAH!!!!!!!! My two teams won tonight! It's a great feeling!
Well see ya! I'm going in some hockey chatrooms!!!!! Bye! GO LEAFS AND JAYS!!!!!
Friday April 11th,2003.
Hey all! Well it's a nice day outside but it's not so nice in hockey and baseball land! The
Jays lost last night to Boston and then again tonight to Minnesota 6-4! The Leafs lost to Philly 4-1! Pathetic! They played
like crap tonight! They didn't show up! The series is now tied 1-1. The next game is Monday in Toronto. Hopefully the
leafs can beat the flyers then! Hopefully the days off will do them some good! Well I gotta go now! See ya all later!
Have a great weekend!
Tuesday April 15th,2003.
Hey everyone! How is everyone? I'm doing good! My aunt and uncle came up to Owen Sound from
Pickering on Sunday and stayed til this morning. We all went out for dinner to Kelsey's last night and then when we
got back to my house we watched game 3 in the leafs/flyers playoff series! It was a nail biter game that's for sure! Very
exciting too and a great ending for leafs fans like me! The leafs won 4-3 in the second overtime period! Beauty goal by Tomas
Kaberle! We were all going crazy in the basement when he scored! YAH!!!!!!!! Hopefully Wednesday and Saturday they can beat
Philadelphia too! Leafs in 5 baby! As for the jays well they lost a close one to the new york yankees 10-9! Damn now they
have lost 5 straight! But there's still time to pick up the pace! Also Anaheim has beat Detroit 3 straight in that playoff
series! :-) I love it! Cuchoke strikes again! I hope that the wings get beat out 4 straight! I went to the dollarma this morning
with my mom and aunt! It's a great store as I know since I had a voluntary work placement there before. I bought some stuff!
Got some theatre style popcorn for the leafs/flyers game on Wednesday night! Anyway I'm probably boring you LOL I'm gonna
go now! See ya! God it's hot outside right now! Bye!
Thursday April 17th,2003.
Hey all! What's up? There's good news and bad news. Let's start with the good first! The
Jays won 7-6 last night against the new york yankees. However there's bad news too:they lost 4-0 this afternoon against them!
Now there's even worse news, the leafs lost in triple overtime last night to the flyers evening the series at 2-2! What a
blow but hopefully Saturday they can kick their ass and win! The same with Monday! Common Leafs! Anyway it's gonna be a busy
weekend. My brother came up to Owen Sound from Toronto this morning and my 2 sisters and my one sister's hubby and my neice
are coming up from Oakville on Thursday and Friday-Bonnie on Thursday and Connie,John and Maddy on Friday. It'll be a full
house watching the leaf game on Saturday afternoon at 3:00! They'd better win :-) Anyway gotta go now! See ya!
Saturday April 19th,2003.
Hey everyone what's up? I only have a minute and then my mom wants on the computer so I gotta
make it quick! To make a long story short the leafs played AWFUL this afternoon! Sure they had lots of chances-empty nets
and pucks that hit the post but for the most part it seemed like they didn't even show up for the game. It was that bad! A
4-1 loss! Now they have to win Monday in game 6 to force a game 7 on Tuesday or they are eliminated from the playoffs! :-(
I just know I'm going to be on the verge of a coronary on Monday night and if it goes 7 games on Tuesday night too! Also the
jays lost 7-3 to Boston today :--( God my teams have no luck! Anyway there's some bad news: my great aunt Glady who is my
mom's aunt died on Wednesday I think it was. She was 80 years old so we gotta go to her funeral which is on Monday. Her poor
daughter! She'll be all alone now :-( God it's soooo sad! Anyway I gotta go now! My mom wants the computer! Bye and peace
out! GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!-have faith leaf fans! The series ain't over yet! *waves goodbye*
Tuesday April 23rd,2003.
Hey everyone! Well the leafs won yesterday in double overtime 2-1 to force a 7th
game tonight but the 7th game was a peice of shit! The leafs weren't even there! They sucked royally and it was definetly NOT
Belfour's best game at all! The whole team just died. I'd say that they ran out of gas. It is sooo disappointing to lose in
the friggin' first round. I can't believe I'm saying this but I hope that the Sens beat the flyers big time in the next round!
The Jays lost tonight too. It was not a good night for Toronto teams at all. Very upsetting but the next hockey season will
come soon enough and hopefully the leafs can get farther next year. Well bye for now.
Friday April 25th,2003.
Hey everyone! I figured I should write an entry since I won't have much time to on the weekend.
My sis Connie and my neice Maddy are coming up from Oakville. Connie is our cousin's confirmation sponsor. I'm going to be
babysitting little Maddy with my mom this weekend. Anyway it hasn't been that long since the leafs have been eliminated
from the playoffs (Tuesday to be exact) but I miss them already. I can't wait til hockey season starts again in October and
I can see the leafs play again. The good thing is that I have the jays. They won last night 5-3 against the
devil rays in the 3 game series. Finally! They lost the series only winning one game but so what? At least they won one
and they didn't get sweeped! Anyway I gotta go now. Have a great
weekend loyal website viewers and I hope that the sens beat the flyers 4 straight in the flyers/sens series! Don't get
me wrong-I don't like the sens but I'd rather have them than the flyers and I ALWAYS cheer against the team that beats my
leafs out! Well bye for now!
Sunday April 26th,2003.
Sup everyone? Well my neice was sooo cute this weekend as usual! :-) The way she talks is
adorable! My sis and Madyson(my neice) went home this morning when my parents and I went to church. I watched a little bit
of the blue jays game today until they started losing big time. They were losing 7-1 and I turned it off. Then when I put
it back on it was 8-1 Kansas City! I was like oh god not again! Well guess what? I was in for a big surprise! My parents and
I went to a going away party that was being thrown for my mom's friend and on the way back home in our car we heard on
the radio that the jays came back in the bottom of the ninth inning and won the game 10-9! I was like "what! you're kidding
me!" It's a great thing! :-) What an excellent comeback! Wow! Right on Jays! They won that series with KC 2-1. Let's keep
it up guys! Anyway see ya all later and I hope that you had a great weekend! By the way in hockey news Canada beat Latvia
6-1 this morning! Right on! By the way yes I still miss the leafs. Talking about them makes me want October to come more than
ever! A good thing is that I have the jays who I'm passionate about too so:GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!! Bye for now my friends!
Friday May 2nd,2003.
Hey everyone! What's up? Well I have some news on Team Canada! They beat Sweden this week 3-1. A very good game by them.
This morning they didn't play that great against Denmark. That game ended in a 2-2 tie. Everybody says that they should've
beaten them and I agree but you've gotta give the Denmark goalie credit. He was pretty good unfortunately. They have to play
Switzerland on Sunday afternoon. God I hope they win that game! Anyway on to baseball now: The Jays did great tonight beating
the Anaheim Angels 3-1! Lidle pitched excellent only giving up the one homerun! Great 3 run homerun by Delgado! God the freakiest
part of the game was when a fan ran on the field after Orlando Hudson! Man that was friggin' freaky! Scary moment for the
O Dog I'm sure! Man that fan has problems or something! You wouldn't see me run on the field after Hinske like that lol. He'd
think I was the biggest freak! Okay I sound like a dork right now lol. Anyway great win by Toronto and hopefully on Saturday
and Sunday they can beat the Angels too! Also I watched Dawson's Creek tonight! I can't believe the season finale is next
week and then after that the show is over for good! I've been getting a bit sick of it lately anyway but tonight's episode
was pretty good! There's still a lot of chemistry between Dawson and Joey! I hope that they end up together in the season
finale years in the future! Anyway I gotta go now! GO JAYS GO AND GO TEAM CANADA GO!!!!!!!! See ya!
Sunday May 4th,2003.
Hey everyone! Well I went for a driving lesson this morning with my dad and I watched team Canada vs Switzerland and
The Jays vs Angels this afternoon! Both good results! The Jays beat the Angels 8-2 and swept them in that 3 game series! :-)
YAH!!!!!!! Also Team Canada won 2-0! RIGHT ON BABY!!!!!! Well I gotta go now! Bye!
Thursday May 8th,2003.
Hi all! What's up? Team Canada played yesterday and they won! That means they get to advance to the semi finals! YAH!!!!!!
:-) Also the jays kicked the Texas Rangers butts on Tuesday beating them 15-5! Last night Texas beat them 5-4. That game last
night was a crappy one. The umpires were PATHETIC! They took a double away from Hinske saying he was out when he was soooo
safe! Also they called a Texas guy safe at first base when he was clearly out! Another bad call? Well they called a jays player
out on strike when it should've been a walk! I'm not being biased because the jays are my team. The tv announcers even said
that the umpires made some bad calls...... However the jays made up for all that this afternoon(the game wasn't aired.) They
beat the Rangers 8-6! Yeah a close one after being ahead 8-2 but they won it which means they won that 3 game series 2-1!
YAH!!!! By the way Team Canada plays tomorrow morning at 9:50 pm against Czech Republic! And Heidi got voted off Survivor
tonight! YAH! Bye bitch! :-) Anyway gotta go! Bye! GO CANADA GO! GO JAYS GO!
Saturday May 10th,2003.
Hey everyone! Damn it I had a whole journal entry written and I was about to submit it but then a stupid page came up
and said "this page has expired!" so I lost all that work! Man oh man! Anyway I'll tell a bit about my day. I went to the
mall this morning and bought books,magazines,doritos,and a mothers day card for my mom. This afternoon I watched a move called
A Walk to Remember. It's sooo good but very sad too! Oh and Team Canada won the semi final game yesterday against Czech Republic
so they play in the gold medal game against Sweden tomorrow! YAH!!!!!!! In other news the jays lost last night to the Anaheim
Angels 6-1 in game one of the 3 game series! Oh well better luck tonight! Well I gotta go now! See ya! GO TEAM CANADA GO!!!!!!
GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!
Sunday May 11th,2003.
Hello all! How are you today? I'm great! TEAM CANADA WON THE GOLD!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really happy!
It feels great! We won it in overtime when Anson Carter scored! At first the officals weren't sure if it was a goal or not!
They took about 5 minutes reviewing it while I was a bundle of nerves waiting for their decision! I was like oh god please
be a goal! At long last the ref held up his hand and gave the signal "goal!" I was like YAH!!!!!!!! It was clearly a goal!
It went in before the Swedish goalie Mikael Tellqvist could stop it! WAY TO GO CANADA!!!!!!! Definetly a great feeling! :-)
I wore my team Canada hat with pride to my mall today after the gold was won! In other news last night the jays beat the angels
7-4! YAH!!!!!! That was great too! Speaking of which they play them today at 4:00 to end the 3 game series! I hope they win!
Also I have 3 hours of Survivor to watch tonight! Looking forward to that! :-) I hope that Matt wins! Well I gotta go now!
See ya all later! CANADA WINS GOLD BABY!!!!!!! GO CANADA GO!!!!!!!! GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!!!!!! Peace out!
Monday May 12th,2003.
Hey website viewers! What's up? Well I watched Survivor:Amazon last night for 3 hours! 3
wasted hours that is! What a waste of a series and a waste of nights tuning in! You can guess I'm bitter eh? Well the reason
I'm bitter is because a lazy bitch won the million dollars! A lazy bitch named Jenna who did nothing the whole series except
strip naked and prostitute her body to win. She soooo did NOT deserve the money! A friggin' swimsuit model who has shit for
brains! Man I can't stand her! And the thing is she got 6 votes! All of the jury voted for her except for 1! People have been
saying that the whole thing could've been rigged so that she was the youngest person that won with the most votes ever on
a survivor series! I just wonder because it seemed kind of weird that she'd get THAT many votes especially
since she did nada during that whole show! Anyway let's change the subject shall we? The Jays won yesterday 3-1 against the
Anaheim Angels in that 3 game series which means that they won the series 2-1! Way to go guys! Doing pretty good right now!
Keep it up! The Jays play the Tampa Bay Devil Rays next at home for a 3 game series. By the way I watched Legally Blonde Tonight!
I've loved that movie since the first time I watched it! It's soooo funny! If you haven't seen it you should! Well I gotta
go now! Bye and take care! GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!!!! And Way to go Canada on winning the gold! Just had to say that again :-) See
ya!
Thursday May 15th,2003.
Sup everyone? How's it going? Well I'm doing alright. Tomorrow my sister and my neice are
coming up to see us! I'm looking forward to that! My neice is soooo adorable! :-) I'll be watching the daytime emmy's tomorrow
night with my my mom,sis and neice(although she won't be watching them). Yeah I know that the jays are on but I'll have to
flip back and forth to see the score. Speaking of the jays they lost today to the devil rays which means that Tampa Bay won
the 3 game series 2-1! The D Rays won game 1,the jays won game 2 and of course the drays won today. The Jays are in 3rd right
now but maybe not for long depending on if Baltimore wins tonight or not. Toronto plays the Kansas City Royals on Friday,Saturday
and Sunday for a 3 game series! Better luck with them! Oh isn't that horrible what's happened to that poor Holly Jones? What
kind of a lunatic would dump a child's remains in the office? The poor little thing........ Only 10 years old. Man what kind
of sickos are living in this world? Anyway I gotta go now! Ciao!
Sunday May 18th,2003.
Well first of all I must start off by wishing my sister Bonnie a happy 38th birthday! I doubt
she'll read this but happy birthday Bon! Next...... the jays swept the kansas city royals!!!!!! Way to go guys!!!!! We're
at .500 now! Keep up the great work jays! Well my neice is soooo adorable! I told you in my last entry that she and my sis
were coming up! Well it was a nice visit and my neice said "where's Shannon? when I was in my bedroom! She's soooo cute! I
miss her already! The house seems soooo quiet without her! Well I gotta go now! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! :-)
Thursday May 22nd,2003.
Hello everyone! Well I can't believe that it's Thursday already! Time sure does go by fast
doesn't it? I got my hair cut this morning and got my eyebrows waxed. My hair is a lot shorter than it was. I think it looks
pretty good! Well now onto sports! Well the jays lost that 3 game series against the white sox :-( They won the first game
12-2 and then lost the last 2 ones! Oh well! Time to kick the yankees' butts tonight(hopefully!). I'm going away to Toronto
tomorrow til Sunday! We're going to visit with my grandma. Should be okay. Well I gotta go now! See ya later!
Sunday May 25th,2003.
Well hello all!!!!! I am sooo thrilled!!!!!! The Jays swept the yankees in their 4 game series
against them!!!!!! We slaughtered them!!!!!! It was great watching them on Thursday at home and then at my grandma's house
on Friday and Saturday and then at home today! WOO-HOO!!!!!! The Jays are HOT right now and could get into second place soon!
I'd LOVE THAT!!!!!!! Anyway I hope that you all had a great weekend! I sure did!!!!!! Bye for now and GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!!
Friday May 30th,2003.
Wow I can't believe how fast time has gone! Already the end of the month! On Sunday it'll
be June 1st! It's like that Chantal Kreviazuk song Time that goes something like this "time, where did you go?". Great song
by a great Canadian artist. I have it downloaded from KaZaA. I get way too many songs from there! Anyway on to baseball: The
Jays and White Sox split their 4 game series which means that Toronto won 2 and Chicago won 2. The Jays ALWAYS seem to have
trouble with that team. Oh well it could've been worse. Chicago could've swept them which didn't happen thank god. Toronto
has been doing great lately and they won 6 games in a row recently but they have got to stop making errors in the outfield
which is what they did last night. However tonight is much better. They are beating the Boston Red Sox 8-2 presently. Hopefully
they can win this game tonight and then the next 2 as well. They NEED to beat this team since they are so close to them in
the standings. I'll be writing another journal entry on either Sunday or Monday to review the 3 game series between the
jays/red sox. Oh I forgot to tell you guys that I'm probably going to the movie theatre on Sunday afternoon to see Bruce
Almighty. I've been wanting to see this movie for ages! Finally a new Jim Carrey comedy movie! I've heard it's really
funny and it looks like it is so we'll see! Anyway see ya all later! GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Happy 39th Anniversary to my parents Dave and Carol. I went out to Montana's for dinner
with them tonight and boy did that dinner fill me up. It was a burger and fries and you're probably thinking THAT fills you
up? Well yeah the burger is HUGE and I didn't even eat it all(I had 2 pieces of garlic bread before that) and they give you
a lot of fries! Big meals there! Great food though! :-) Anyway bye for now!
Sunday June 1st,2003.
Hello,Hello! How's everyone doing? Oh god I sound like a complete dork! LOL That movie Bruce
Almighty was soooo funny! I laughed so hard I cried! :-) Hilarious! Go and see it! Definetly worth your money! Take my word
for it! Also the jays swept the red sox! They beat them 13-2 in game 1,10-7 in game 2,and today in game 3 they beat them 11-8!!!!!
:-) YAH!!!!!!!! They did great! We are kicking some major ass! Also I'm watching the pitch by pitch gameday between the yankees
and tigers right now because I want the skankees to lose so the jays are that much closer to second place! Anyway I gotta
go now! Bye! :-) GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!
Saturday June 7th,2003.
Hey everybody! What's up? How's your weekend going so far? Mine is going pretty good. I went
to the mall this morning and got a photograph of Carlos Delgado. It's really really nice! It's in a frame on my wall. I also
got an Alexander Mogilny poster and it's hanging on my closet door. The other closet door has a poster of Ed Belfour that
I bought last week. I also bought a book today and I had my lunch at the mall too. Okay next: after the jays got swept
in a dreadful 3 game series against the St. Louis Cardinals they won 9-2 last night against the Cincinnati Reds! :-)
YAH! Hopefully tonight they can beat them too! Plus tonight the mighty ducks play the devils in the stanley cup
playoffs. If the devils win tonight they've won the cup :-( God I hope not! I hate the New Jersey Devils! I want the
ducks to beat them tonight and force a game 7. Then I'd like them to win the cup and shut the new jersey devils and their
fans up. It would be nice to have somebody different win the cup and since my leafs can't do it, I'll settle for the
ducks. I'm going to church tonight so I'm going to go now and look around the net before I have to get off the computer!
Bye now! GO JAYS GO!!!!!!! AND MIGHTY DUCKS PLEASE SLAUGHTER THE DEVILS! :-)
Sunday June 8th,2003.
Hey all! Well I went out for a driving lesson with my dad this morning but my day wasn't
that good for a while! For starters it was a miserable rainy day and I was off the internet for a while because of the storm.
Also the blue jays vs reds game was delayed because of rain in Cincinnati. However the game was well worth the wait because
my blue jays won 5-0! Escobar was the pitcher! Way to go Kelvim! We needed that win after last night's disappointing loss
to the reds. Toronto had the lead that whole game and then the relief pitcher Politte blew the game in the bottom of the 9th
allowing the reds to come back and win it 9-8 ARGH....... Anyway today's game made up for it in a big way! :-) Well the mighty
ducks beat the devils last night forcing a seventh game in the nhl playoffs. I hope that they beat the damn devils tomorrow!
The game is in New Jersey which may make it harder! :-( Anyway the devils have had enough cups-3 to be exact. Common ducks!
Since my leafs can't do it you do it! Anyway I gotta go now! See ya! GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!! And common ducks beat the darn devils!
:-)
Thursday June 12th,2003.
Hey everyone! What's up? Of course you all know that the devils won the stanley cup. I mean
who WOULDN'T know THAT!!!!????! It sucks. I can't stand that team! Oh well. Who cares? Next...... The jays won tonight and
they won the other two previous games as well against the pirates which means that they swept them! :-) YAH!!!!!!!!! There's
something I'm frustrated about: I've been trying to sign in to the mlb.com messageboards for about 2 days and haven't been
able to get in! I've been getting error messages that say things like this: This server has encountered an error which prevents
it from fulfilling your request. Also:The requested object does not exist on this server. I don't know if it's the messageboards
themselves or my computer. I want to write on the jays messageboard again and I can't! I'm going to try signing in at Connie's
this weekend and see what happens. That's right. I'm going to her house to see her,her hubby and my adorable neice Madyson.
I'm going to her mall as well and I'm going to try to get a new blue jays shirt! Maybe I'll get Hinske's name on the back
of it! :-) We'll see........ Well I gotta go now. I'm talking to people on msn. Just thought I'd post because I won't be able
to write in here over the weekend. Sure I could on my sister's computer but it's slow so no thanks. Anyway all of you have
a great weekend and I may post again on Sunday. Bye for now! :-) Oh and GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!!
Sunday June 15th,2003.
Well hello all! That was a busy weekend! As you all know I was at my sis's place in Oakville.
My neice is sooo adorable as always :-) I went to the mall on Saturday morning and got a white official blue jays jersey.
I didn't get a name on the back of it though because it costs a lot for that because of shipping and handling. It's a nice
jersey! Also on Saturday afternoon I went out shopping with my sister and I bought myself some things too while we were out.
In the 3 game series against the Cubs the jays won 2 out of 3! Not too shabby! They won the series! WAY TO GO JAYS!!!!!!!!
Like that Meatloaf song says, 2 out of 3 ain't bad! Indeed! They won on Friday,lost on Saturday and won today in extra innings
with a solo homerun by Reed Johnson! YAH!!!!!! It was a pretty good weekend for me! The jays play the Baltimore Orioles next
on Tuesday in Baltimore! Anyway I'm going to go now because I have to get off the net at 5:20 because my parents and I are
going out for supper. To all Fathers everywhere:HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!!!! Oh and GO JAYS GO!!!!!
Monday
June 16th,2003.
Hey All! Just thought I'd write in here and tell you that I updated my site tonight and added
some new pictures in the family photo album, a picture of my hamster Freddie in the pet photo album and I added a new picture
of myself on the front page. Also I put some new quotes on My Favorite Quotes page. Enjoy!
Sunday June 22nd,2003.
Hey everyone! What's up? Sorry I haven't written in here for a few days! The jays game on
Tuesday was post poned because of rain in Baltimore. It will be played on July 3rd. However on Wednesday and Thursday the
jays played the orioles and beat them both those games. They've won that series and on July 3rd they are going for the sweep!
On Friday they played the Montreal Expos and beat them 8-4. Then yesterday it looked like the jays would beat them again but
in the bottom of the ninth the bullpen ruined it so they lost 8-5-a game I'd like to forget. However they made
up for it today by beating the expos 4-2 giving Roy Halladay his 11th win! :-) The next series the jays will be heading
home to play the Orioles-4 games. It looks like Halladay will not be pitching on July 11th when I go see the jays play the
yankees :-( That sucks but oh well...... Why let it ruin the game? If not Halladay then hopefully Lidle will be pitching.
Oh guess what? I got an xbox nintendo system yesterday! The colour is just beatiful! Even my mom loves playing some of the
games :-) It sure is hot outside right now! Very hot! Since yesterday was the first day of summer I'd say it's very appropriate!
However a little too hot maybe?! LOL Anyway see ya all later and I hope that you all had a great weekend!
Monday June 30th,2003.
Hey there peeps! How was your weekend? Mine was mostly good. My sister,brother in law and
neice came up on Saturday. My neice is soooo adorable!!!!!! The minute she saw me, she started giggling. It's a lot of fun
playing with her and she can say quite a few words. That part of the weekend was great but the jays losing was NOT great!
They won on Friday against the expos in the bottom of the ninth inning and that was because the bases were loaded and Shannon
Stewart got a walk. He walked in the run. As for Saturday and Sunday-PATHETIC! They lost both of those games and lost the
series which means they have to share the Pearson Cup with Montreal. How that'll work I don't know....... Anyway the jays
better smarten up! They play the Detroit Tigers tonight,tomorrow,and Wednesday. They've GOT to beat a shit team like that!
No offense to any tigers fans that might be reading this! Today my sis,brother in law and neice went home and I've just been
relaxing. Anyway I gotta go now! Bye!
Wednesday July 2nd,2003.
Hey people what's up? I meant to come on here yesterday and wish all my fellow Canadians
a happy Canada day but I forgot! Oh well I'll say it today:Happy Belated Canada Day! :-) Well the jays lost to the tigers
on Monday and Tuesday(yeah I know that's disgusting) but they made up for it tonight by beating them 8-2 and therefore snapping
a 4 game losing skid. Hopefully they will win more games against the Baltimore Orioles next. Well I gotta go now! GO JAYS
GO!!!!!!
Monday July 7th,2003.
Hello all! How did your weekend go? Mine went okay. My sister Bonnie came up on Friday. It
was nice having her visit. My parents and I went to the mall with her on Saturday morning. Oh my god I can't believe it! The
blue jays vs yankees game that I'm going to with my dad is this Friday! Wow! I've been looking forward to it for ages and
it's finally gonna be here! :-) They'd better win! They lost to Baltimore on Friday(a game they should've won-they blew a
5-0 lead) and Saturday but won on Sunday coming back from a 3-0 deficit to win 5-3. Tonight they have a night off which is
a good thing,they need a break. Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday they play the Boston Red Sox and then Friday,Saturday and Sunday
they play the New York Skankees-oops I mean Yankees. They'd better kick some ass on Friday when I'm at the dome :-) Today
I had to go the dentist,the horror! Everything was okay with my teeth except for a bit of plaque. Anyway see ya all later!
Wednesday July 9th,2003.
Hey what's up everyone? Just wondered how you all were doing and I wanted to tell you that
I'm going to Toronto tomorrow and I'm going to see the jays play the yankees on Friday night. How they'll do is anybody's
guess. Last night they lost in extra innings 2-1 against the red sox and tonite was much worse: they lost 8-7 after leading
the game 7-3! They should've won that game! GRRRRR......... Man oh man........ Anyway this is going to be my last post til
about Sunday. I hope that you all have a great weekend. Bye for now!
Sunday July 13th,2003.
Hey everyone! Did you all have a good weekend? Mine was pretty good except for the fact that
the jays lost 8-5 on Friday! Oh well I still had fun at the game anyway! The seats were fantastic! They were in Aisle 129
Row 5 and Seat 7. My dad was in Seat 8. We arrived at the game and I bought a program. However I was disgusted to see Alfonso
Soriano on the cover! This is a BLUE JAYS program NOT a SKANKEES one! Oh and by the way I don't care if you find the name
skankees offensive! Tough! Anyway getting back on track......... Alfonso should not have been on the cover! Wells or another
blue jay should've been! How would the yankees fans at yankee stadium like it if say Delgado was on the cover of THEIR program?!!??
The guy selling me the program even had to tell me "don't worry it's all blue jays stuff inside"! Okay moving on now.........my
dad and I got to our seats and Hinske came right up to the edge of the front row and he was talking to somebody. I was like
"oh my god dad Hinske's soooo close!" I was like freakin' out! LOL You can tell he's my favorite player eh? Well during the
game when the jays tied up the score at 5-5 it was one of the best feelings in the world! I was jumping up and down waving
my flag wildly. However it was a let down when the yanks game back and won the game 8-5. I was upset but how can you
predict who's going to win on any given day?!!?? I would've been better off at yesterday's game since they beat the skanks
10-3 but like I just finished saying how can you predict who's going to win day by day!??!? Oh and let me tell you that
the skankees fans were ANNOYING! They even waved their flags during the seventh inning stretch! HELLO that's the blue
jays theme song and it's OUR turn as jays fans to stand up and cheer during it! Anyway I still hate the yankees and still
love the blue jays so even though hard times are falling on them lately and they lost 6-2 today: GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!!!
Oh and BLOW YANKS BLOW! Still love my blue jays!
From a jays fan forever!
Sunday July 20th,2003.
Hey there all! Well it was a pretty busy week. My dad,mom and I picked up my mom's cousin
Iris and she spent a week with us(went home to Toronto this afternoon). My mom,dad and I went to the movie theatre this afternoon
and saw Legally Blonde 2:Red,White and Blonde. It was pretty funny. Cute movie. Go see it! We had a bit of a mix up when we
got our tickets. We went into the wrong movie first of all because the guy at the desk gave us the wrong tickets! We almost
saw Sinbad: Legend of the seven seas. That would've been awful! Yikes! Anyway in the end we got the right tickets thank god.
There was a jays vs red sox game on this afternoon but I'm glad I didn't see it because they got beat 9-4. Wasdin is a total
washout! The Jays won 2 against the sox and the sox won 2 against them. Better than nothing I guess. At least they didn't
get swept by them. I hope that they beat the yankees tomorrow and Tuesday. Toronto's pitching has been the PITS with the exception
of Halladay. Anyway last night was my neice Madyson's birthday party. It was at my cousin's place. Her real birthdate is on
Tuesday but we wanted to celebrate it last night. It was nice. She's adorable as always! :-) I got to meet my brother's new
girlfriend Sheryl or Cheryl not sure which letter her name starts with. She seems pretty nice. They came by our house this
morning too and my brother showed us pictures he took with his digital camera. Really nice pics. Well I gotta go now. See
ya all later!
Tuesday July 22nd,2003.
Hey everyone! What's up? Today is my adorable neice Madyson's 2nd birthday so happy birthday
sweetie! :-) I was really looking forward to the jays vs yankees game tonite. Roy Halladay was pitching and he was going for
his 15th win but it was raining in New York and the game has been post poned! Last night's game though was great! The jays
beat the yankees 8-0! That RULED! :-) Mark Hendrickson was the pitcher! Great pitching and great hits and everything by the
jays! However we are 10 games back though. Oh well I guess it's still within reach! I'm not talkin' about first place! I'm
talking about second. However Boston would have to have a big losing streak and the jays would have to have a big winning
one and I don't know if that is likely to happen but we'll see I guess. Anyway see ya all later! We know that tomorrow's blue
jays vs. white sox game won't be post poned because it's at the skydome where there's a nice roof! Bye everyone
and GO JAYS GO!!!!!
Sunday July 27th,2003.
WE ROCKED YOU! That's my message to Baltimore Orioles fans and rock them the jays
did. A 10-1 victory for my guys! :-) Stellar pitching as usual by Roy Halladay winning his 15th straight decision! YEAH BABY
YEAH! WAY TO GO TEAM! I wish they'd play like this EVERY game! The whole team contributed something today! :-) It sure
makes up for last night's 7-2 loss. The jays got REVENGE! What else happened this weekend? Well not a whole lot.
Went to the mall Saturday morning and bought some stuff and also had lunch there. Saturday night I went to church. Watched
tv for most of that night afterwards. This morning I went for a driving lesson with my dad. Then this afternoon
I watched the excellent jays vs o's game of course! :-) Now I'm just chillin'! Probably gonna watch a movie tonite! Anyway
I gotta go now! See ya all later and hope your weekend was great! Bye for now and GO JAYS GO!!!!!!
Thursday July 31st,2003.
Hello all! How are you doing? I'm doing okay. I now have a part time job! That's right! It's
at the Owen Sound Golf&Country Club. I'll be inputting data into a computer. I'll be working 8 hours a week starting next
Tuesday. Also on Friday my sister is bringing my neice up and she is going to be staying with my parents and I for a week
while my sis and her hubby go to Cuba. She is soooo adorable! It should be a fun week! :-) Anyway things seem to be
going from bad to worse for the blue jays. They played the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday and got
swept by them! I sure hope that they made some trades today but I haven't heard anything so I doubt it :-( Anyway we'll see
what happens! I gotta go now. See ya all later and despite their losses GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!!
Sunday August 3rd,2003.
Hello everyone! How are you all doing tonite? I'm pretty good. My neice is soooo adorable!
What a sweetie pie! She LOVES Cailou and Dora The Explorer :-) I have to admit that she can be a handful but I still love
her :-). WAY TO GO BLUE JAYS!!!!! They beat the Anaheim Angels yesterday and today clinching a series win. They lost to them
on Friday but the jays got big time even with them the next 2 games :-) I hope that they can keep up the wins! Common 3 in
a row next against the drays! What else happened this weekend? Well I went to the mall on Saturday and I have been helping
to babysit my neice this weekend as I will do the rest of the week that she's here! Well I gotta go now. See ya all later
and GO JAYS GO!!!!!!
Sunday August 10th,2003.
Hello all! Today my parents and I returned my neice Maddie to my sister and her husband.
Needless to say she was thrilled to see her mommy and daddy again :-) That week went by sooo fast! For the most part she was
a good girl while we were minding her. Well sure she had her cranky moments like all babies do but that's to be expected.
A handful for sure but a sweetie pie nonetheless! The way she grins and cuddles up with you is adorable! :-) It sure
is going to be weird not having her around this week. Well we are staying overnight at my sister and brother in law's
house and then we are going to my grandmother's house tomorrow morning and staying over there for one night. Then we are heading
home on Tuesday. I can't wait until hockey season starts again! Not long now! Then my leafs will be back! :-) It's really
disappointing what's happening with the jays! Monday night and Tuesday night they lost to Tampa Bay. They won on Wednesday
but then lost on Friday! God lately they can't seem to win more than one in a row! :-( Yesterday they won but then lost today!
See the pattern?!?!!? You all probably think I'm nuts for still watching them but I can't seem to stop. I guess maybe
it's because they have been my team since I was a child and I still have faith that they can sometime get better. They have good
hitters but the pitching needs to be worked on. If they got some quality pitching they'd be much better! Also they
need to stop leaving the bases loaded! They ALWAYS strand their runners! How annoying! Anyway enough about that........ In
case you're wondering, my job at the golf course is going pretty good! Computer work is definetly the job for me! However
some of the names that I have to enter are hard to understand! Hard to read some people's writing! I shouldn't talk though
because a lot of times people can't read mine either LOL. Anyway I gotta go now. See ya all later! Hope you had a good weekend!
Audios!
Friday August 15th,2003.
Hello all! Well what an experience I had last night! I'm sure that a lot of you reading this
probably experienced it too! I'm talking about the awful blackout! I was on the computer when the power went off. To be more
specific the internet. The computer suddenly shut down and I was like "ahhhh!" I thought that maybe my computer was broken
or something. My mom yelled "the power's out!". It sure was WEIRD without electricity! You don't know how much you depend
on it until it's gone. It went out at about 4:15 pm and didn't come back on until about 9:40 pm. We had to light oil lamps.
My mother and I played scrabble by the light of one of them. Suddenly we were sitting at our dining room table and suddenly our
deck light came on and we were like "YAH the power's back on!". Well I can't write much more because I heard that there could
be more power outages today and I could lose this whole journal entry in a minute if I don't submit it soon! I
just wanna say one more thing: the jays won 5-2 against the Seattle Mariners last night and split the four game
series with them winning 2 out of 4. Not too shabby...... Anyway I gotta go now! See ya all later! Hopefully no more blackouts!
GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!!!! Bye!
Monday August 18th,2003.
Hello website viewers! How has your day been? Mine has been not too bad. I went to work this
morning from 9:30-1:30. Normally I don't work on Mondays but today I had to because I'm going to Niagara Falls tomorrow with
my parents and staying there til Thursday. The next day I work again is Friday. On Wednesday I am going gambling at Casino
Niagara. I can't wait for that!!!!!! Last year I won lots of money from the slot machines. No I didn't win a jackpot
but it was the next best thing. Hopefully this year too except I'd like the jackpot instead hehe! I hope there's
no blackouts while I'm away! PLEASE GOD NO!!!!!! I hate blackouts! Okay on to baseball. The Jays won one game against
the Oakland A's but lost the other 2 in the 3 game set in Oakland. Halladay lost a terrible game yesterday. I don't know
what's happening to him. I want him to be an ace again! Anyway I gotta go now. I hope that you're all having a great summer
and despite their losses GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!! Also I can't wait for hockey season so I can see my leafs play again!
Not long now! :-) See ya all later!
Friday August 22nd,2003.
Hey people! Well I'll bet you're all wondering how my trip to Niagara Falls went. Well truth
be told it was pretty disappointing. Tuesday was fine. We went to the Butterfly Conservatory and it was really nice. All those
butterflys were really pretty and 2 of them landed on my mom's foot lol. My dad and I went swimming that day too and
we basically just relaxed the night away. Well the next day we were all excited thinking that we were going to get to go to
Casino Niagara and use the slot machines. We asked one of the receptionists about shuttle bus times to get there and she told
us that the casino was closed and no shuttle buses were running to it because of the blackouts. How utterly disappointing.
Let me tell ya I was pissed right off as were my parents! That casino really need to get a generator! Rama has one so take
a hint Niagara! Well that day was pretty much shot. We walked around the town and went into a souvenir shop. The weather was
really hot so were all pretty bitchy. However it was good to go for a swim after being out in that hot weather and
we ordered a pizza up to our hotel room at night. By now you're probably thinking well your bad luck has probably come to
an end now. It can't get any worse. That's what
I thought too at first. But it does......The next day we checked out of the hotel and started
walking to our car. My dad said to us "I was talking to one of the receptionists and she said that the casino reopened today"!
My mom and I were like "OH MY GOD! The day we're leaving too!" I of course was begging my parents to go to the casino for
a couple of hours. Finally my dad said that he was going back into the hotel to ask if the whole casino was open or just select
parts of it. When he came back out he said that the lady told him that the casino wasn't open til 4:00 pm. Just our luck huh?
We couldn't exactly hang around there til 4 to go to the casino or my dad would be driving home in the evening darkness. What
a bust! On a lighter note we found a shopping mall in Niagara Falls and went around and bought some stuff on that last day.
Also we had lunch there so that was fun. Anyway enough about that! Baseball time now. The jays won the series against the
Mariners taking 2 of 3. Very good! :-) Tonight they won the opener against the A's 6-3. Halladay got the win :-). That is
their 3rd win in a row :-) Anyway I gotta go now and GO JAYS GO!!!!!!
Tuesday August 26th,2003.
Hey peeps what's up? Not too much here. Just relaxing at the moment. I guess you're wondering
how my weekend went. Well it went alright. Just did the usual. Went to the mall Saturday morning with my parents and then
we went to church that night. On Sunday I went out for a driving lesson in the morning with my dad. Then went home and relaxed. Yesteryday
I just relaxed. Today I went to work. The next day I work is Thursday. As for the blue jays, well they've lost
their last 3 against the A's :-( Their pitching stinks BIG TIME!!!!!!
Tonight they play the Boston Red Sox in Boston. I wonder how they'll do. Despite their crappy
losses GO JAYS GO!!!!!! See ya all later and I can't wait til hockey season! :-) Bye!
Tuesday September 2nd,2003.
My oh my I can't believe that it's September already! Time sure goes by fast doesn't it?
My parents went back to their school crossings today. My mom hates getting up at 7:00 am lol. By the way the jays won one
out of two when they played the red sox. As for when they played the Cleveland Indians they won the series 2-1 taking 2 out
of 3. Yesterday afternoon they played the yankees and kicked their ass 8-1 which was nice :-). They had a break tonight and
tomorrow they are right back at it against the yankees and they play the yanks on Thursday too. Halladay was stellar yesterday
whereas Wells sucked! :-) Plus the yankees bullpen reliever Jeff Weaver stunk too! It's nice to know that a team that buys
its players has a few bad apples :-). On Saturday my friends from Stouville came up for the weekend. It was nice to see them
and hang out with them! I've known them since I was a baby. Their names are Marie and Charlene and their mother is good friends
with my mom. Her name is Cathy. This afternoon Cathy's son Paul drove them home. He's a pretty good friend of mine too. I've
known him since I was a baby too. It sure feels weird without them here. I went to work this morning as usual since it's Tuesday.
The next day I work is Thursday. Anyway see ya all later and go jays go! Oh and speaking of the jays they unveiled a new logo
today. It's not that great to be honest. I like the logo they have now much better. I can't wait til hockey season starts!
Not long now! I got a leaf calender today from my parents! Anyway bye for now!
Sunday September 14th,2003.
Hey there all! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. My sis and my little neice were
up. Madyson is soooo cute! I had a lot of fun with her. She's a real sweetie pie. Connie and Maddy left this morning and I
miss them already. It's soooo quiet in here without Madyson :-( I went to the mall with my parents,sis and neice yesterday
morning and bought a magazine and then in the afternoon I went with my sis to the dollarama. Not a bad weekend at all........
On Friday I hung out with my friend at the mall. She moved to Kitchener yesterday. I'll miss her. It was nice hanging out
with her. The Jays played a 3 game set against the Orioles and won 2 out of 3. Not bad eh? Wow I can't wait for the leafs
season to start! Preseason starts Tuesday! GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!! Well see ya all later and GO JAYS GO!!!!!!! Peace out!
Monday September 22nd,2003.
Hello everyone! How was your weekend? Mine wasn't too bad. My parents and I went down to
Toronto to visit my grandmother in the hospital. Her blood count was low. She had to have a blood transfusion.She's doing
much better now though. She was released from the hospital today and is in a seniors residence now. She was getting too old
to take care of her house. It was too much for her to handle. While we were down in Toronto(from Friday-Sunday) we stayed
in my grandmother's house and with her permission took some of her stuff because she couldn't take it all to the seniors home.
On Saturday night I went to see my friends from Stouville because my parents went to a 50th wedding anniversary dance. We
watched the wedding planner(a cute movie) and then just hung out for the rest of the night reading magazines,playing
a game,talking,etc. It was a lot of fun. When my parents came to pick me up I didn't want to leave lol. Anyway we got
back home on Sunday and just relaxed that day. Anyhow moving on...... the leafs won 3 preseason games against Jokerit-Finland,Djurgarden-Sweden,and
Farjestad-Sweden. YAH!!!! However they lost to Buffalo last night 4-2. Yeah it's only preseason but I get soooo into it lol.
The jays game was just pathetic. Halladay got tossed from the game by the umpire because he hit a tampa bay devil rays batter.
For god's sake it was unintentional :-( He should not have gotten thrown out! Phil Cuzzi(the ump) should be fired for doing
somthing soooo unfair! Then Dan Reichert came in and pitched for the jays and gave up 4 runs(Halladay gave up a solo homerun).
I turned the game off when it was 5-0 drays. The final score ended up being 5-2 drays. UGH is the only word used to
describe THAT game! Well I gotta go now! See ya all later and go jays and leafs!
Sunday October 12th,2003.
Hello there everyone! Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians! Sorry I haven't written
in here for a while. About 2 weeks I think. I guess I've been a bit lazy lol. Plus I tried to get in to work on my website
on Thursday or Friday and couldn't! Tripod said that I was writing the wrong password and I tried to get them to send it to
me via email but they said my username wasn't found in their records! WEIRD OR WHAT!!?!?! Anyway enough about that! Let me
update you a bit on my last 2 weeks! My parents and I went to casino rama in Orillia 2 weeks ago and played the slot machines.
I won nothing :-( It just wasn't my lucky day. I did win money at casino niagara last summer but never at rama. My parents
won money this time. It was their turn I guess. Last weekend we went to our cousins' farm in Underwood. It was nice
to see them again. Always like visiting them. We voted this month too. I always like to do that. People that don't
vote have no say in anything. EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE!!!!!!!!! Of course you all know what party I voted
for by the liberal sign on my front page. In my area the pc guy got in and he's a total soreheaded asshole. :-( He wants to
put our newspaper out of business just because they published a pro liberal article. It wasn't even anything that bad
against him. GET OVER IT MORON! You don't have the power to put these people out of work. Anyway it doesn't mean a roll
of beans that he got in because it's LIBERAL MAJORITY!!!!!!!! :-) By the way if any of you voted NDP I just want to say
that I have nothing against them. In fact I like them too :-) Okay time for a change of subject. Right now my parents
and I are in Oshawa at my brother and sister's house. We had Thanksgiving dinner with them tonight and my other sis,her
hubby and my neice Madyson came over too and we took my grandma there too from the residence. My brother's
girlfriend had dinner with us too. Guess what? I have major news! My sis Connie is pregnant again!!!!!! Isn't that
great? Maddy is going to have a new sister or brother and I'll have a new neice or nephew. Hopefully a
nephew because then Connie will have a boy or a girl but hey if it's a little girl I certainly won't complain :-)
Awww............ Well hockey season is here again and the leafs played the habs last night. Awful game. The leafs didn't
even show up. They lost 4-0 to the pathetic Canadiens :-( I hope that it was just opening night jitters and they
beat the Caps tomorrow! On the bright side my junior ohl team the Owen Sound Attack beat the London Knights
last night by a score of 3-2 so there was some light lol. When the leafs started losing 3-0 we turned off the game
and watched the Attack. Well I gotta go now! Nice writing to you all and my sis's cat Mokie is soooo cute! A devil for
sure but really adorable! She's been around since I was about 7 years old! Bye for now and GO LEAFS AND ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday October 26th,2003.
Hello everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend! I sure did! My parents and I went to Oakville
and visited my sis,hubby and neice! Madyson is soooo adorable and she was really happy to see us as always :-). She can say
Shannon too! She always knows my voice. Little sweetie! I can't wait until my sis gives birth to her new baby. By the
way that baby is due in June in case you're wondering. Nice weekend with them. We watched the leafs vs capitals game last
night and a great game it was! The leafs won 4-1! They are playing really good right now! They've won 3 games in a row and
hopefully 4 on Monday vs the Thrashers. Nieuwendyk,Sundin and Nolan are have finally gotten some points! McCabe and Mogilny
were playing again on Saturday! McCabe got a goal which was nice for his first day back :-). Maddy was soooo cute during
the game. She was saying hockey and "go go"! We were telling her "go for the blue team Maddy!" :-) I felt sooo guilty leaving
there this morning because it upset her so much but what can you do? I'll see her in 2 weeks for my birthday though :-) Oh
and I'm really happy that the yankees didn't win the world series! Way to go Marlins! :-) The yankees have won enough world
series titles and don't deserve any more! Sorry yankees fans just can't stand your bought team. You'll probably come back
with an argument saying that they got into the playoffs and made it a long ways and the blue jays didn't. Well that is true
but it doesn't matter how far a team goes if they don't win does it? The Marlins were good and they conquered all. Congrats
Florida. Since the jays couldn't do it I'm glad you guys did. It's nice to see the underdog win anyway. Well I've filled up
enough of your time for today. See ya all later! GO LEAFS GO AND GO ATTACK GO!!!!!!!!
Sunday November 9th,2003.
Hello everyone! What's up? How was your weekend? Mine wasn't too bad. I got a lap top computer
yesterday! I love it but it gets frustrating trying to install some of my computer games on it. I got quite a few installed
though including the sims which is the most important one :-) Yup I'm addicted to that game and have all of the expansion
packs for it. The colour on my lap top is really nice! I can take it when I travel too which is great :-) I'm also happy because
the leafs are playing a lot better. We beat the oilers 4-1 last night. Great game :-) YAY!!!!!! Plus the Owen Sound Attack
beat the Kitchener Rangers 3-2 last night :-) Way to go guys! I love my sports teams. Also the wings lost 4-3 last night,
after being ahead 3-0 for about 2 periods. The sweetest thing about it was that Cuchoke, oops I mean Cujo was in net for them
:-) Atta boy Curtis. You Rule! NOT!!!!!!!!!! LOL. Hokeytown is in mourning :-) I can't believe that I'm going to be 21 next
Sunday! My sisters are coming up for my birthday with my neice and possibly my sister Connie's hubby. We're probably going
to celebrate my bday on the Saturday. It should be fun. It'll be nice to see my sweet little neice again :-)
Such an adorable child! By the way I expect presents from you all! :-) Just joking. Anyway I gotta go now. See ya all
later. Hope you had a great weekend! :-) GO LEAFS GO AND GO ATTACK GO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tuesday November 18th,2003.
Hi all! How's it going? I'm fine. My birthday was on Sunday but we celebrated it on Saturday
because my sister Bonnie had to go back home to Oshawa on Sunday. My parents,my sisters Bonnie and Connie, my neice Maddy,and
my Aunt Carrie and I went out for dinner to Pizza Hut and then we went back to my house and of course there were gifts and
cake. Would you like to know what gifts I got? Well I got the complete first season of Dawson's Creek DVDs(I never saw the
first season so it's really nice to have it-I knew I was getting this gift because my mom and I picked it out together) from
my parents,a hooded sweat shirt from my sis Bonnie,the new Barenaked Ladies cd-Everything To Everyone(pretty good album-I
love the song Another Postcard and Maybe Katie is another favorite of mine) from my sis Connie, a gift card for Blockbuster
from my Aunt Carrie,earrings from my parents, and I think that's about it. Nice gifts. On Saturday night my sisters,aunt
and I went out to Shorty's Bar and Grill for drinks. I also wached 2 periods of the leafs vs sharks game there. Watched
the rest when I got home and was disappointed that the leafs blew a 2 goal lead to make the final a 2-2 tie :-( On
Sunday my parents,neice,sis Connie and I stayed home and had Kentucky Fried Chicken(KFC). Yummy,yummy,yummy :-) My neice is
soooo cute! She kind of says Shannon. It sounds like Shana :-) It's soooo damn quiet in my house without her. I miss her already,the
little sweetie. At the moment I am watching the leafs vs flames game. It is currently the first period and the game is
scoreless. I hope that my leafs win it. Well I gotta go now. It's too much pressure to write in here and watch the game at
the same time. See ya all later and thanks for reading my ramblings. Bye for now! GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday November 22nd,2003.
Hello everyone how was your weekend? Mine was pretty good! I got some books and magazines
at the mall on Saturday but the best thing I got was my leafs throw tapestry that I ordered from avon! I love it! It's a really
nice warm blanket! Plus even better is the fact that the leafs beat the Vancouver UpChucks-oops I mean Canucks last night.
They beat them 5-3 with leafs goals by Roberts,Reichel,Nolan and a beautiful empty netter by Sundin. Way to go leafs! Soooo
nice to beat the upchuckles. They have to play them again tomorrow. Hopefully another win vs this team! We DO seem to have
their number! YAY!!!!!!!! The Attack also won last night in overtime. WAY TO GO!!!!!!! Well bye for now and GO LEAFS AND ATTACK!!!!!!
:-) Cheers!
Wednesday December 3rd,2003.
Hey everyone! I can't believe that it's December already! My, how time flies! Soon it will
be Christmas! Over the weekend we put our christmas tree up. A fake one, but oh well better than nothin' right? The best decoration
in my opinion is the toronto maple leafs one! You're probably thinking "huh?!!?!?" Yup that's right we have a toronto maple
leafs decoration for the tree. I got it at a flea market. It's really nice. I got it in the summer and after all that wait
to put it on, I'm glad it's finally up now :-) Speaking of the leafs, have we got a team or what?!?!?!? They are doing excellent
right now! 6 wins in a row! They beat the canucks twice and won that series(a note to Canucks fans:we have your number!),they
beat the thrashers,sens,and rangers twice also winning that series. Plus they are first in the NorthEast Division and second
in the Eastern Conference. I hope that it keeps up! I mean sure they will lose another game sometime,it's inevitable,no team
can win them all but right now the winning streak sure feels good. Anyway in case you're wondering about the weather in Owen
Sound,it's very cold and there is quite a bit of snow :-( We ALWAYS get lots of snow up here. Probably will be a white christmas
for sure. On Saturday my mom and I made christmas cookies like we do every year. They are a bitch to make but they are
oh so yummy though so I'd say it's worth it! :-) I can't wait until my sis has her baby in June. She said that she had a dream
that it was another little girl that looks like Madyson. Wouldn't that be something if that's the case? It doesn't really
matter what the sex of her baby is, as long as he or she is healthy! Maddy knows that her mommy is having a baby because she
points at her tummy and says "baby!" awww..........sooooo cute! :-) Sweet little 2 year old. Well I better go now. It was
nice writing to you all. Thanks for reading my ramblings. Bye for now! Later! GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!
Wednesday December 10th,2003.
Hi there everyone! How's it going? I'm a little upset right now because the Owen Sound Attack
lost to the Barrie Colts in overtime 6-5. They should've friggin' WON that game because they were winning it 5-2 for god's
sake!!!!! Holy Crap!!!!!!! Okay I've calmed down now. Let me tell you guys about my weekend okay? Well I went to my aunt Rita's
and Uncle Tom's in Pickering and stayed there from Friday to Sunday. Very nice visit. Friday night we went out for dinner
to this great restaurant:Melanie Pringles. I LOVE the place! There is an old fashioned jukebox at every table and you can
pay 25 cents to hear an oldies song played in the restaurant. I was putting a lot of quarters in and driving my mother mad
lol. She was like "stop it Shannon! you're wasting quarters!". Oh well it's all good. The jukebox had some great music you
could choose from. Anyway on Friday night we also watched the Nutty Professor 2:The Klumps. I had heard bad reviews about
it beforehand from people so I didn't know what to expect but I liked it! It was actually pretty funny! Don't listen to everything
people tell you about movies! See for yourself! On Saturday morning my parents and I visited my grandma in the senior's residence
and took her to her old house to get some stuff and then to a mall for lunch and then went shopping after that. Saturday
night we watched the leafs vs red wings game with my aunt and uncle and a great game it was! The leafs slaughtered the wings
5-2. YEAH BABY YEAH!!!!!!!! Too bad hokeytown lol. On Sunday my parents and I went to church in the morning and then went
to see my grandma for a little bit and then home it was. Last night I watched the leafs vs blues game and the leafs lost 3-2
in ot ending their 8 game winning streak. I was disappointed but you know what? They still got a point which is better
than nothing and they are still first in the northeast division which is all that counts right? Plus they did win 8 in a row
which was pretty darn good! Tomorrow night the leafs play the Minnesota Wild in Minnesota. Hopefully they can kick some
ass and start another winning streak! Well I gotta go now guys! See ya all later! GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!!! Peace out!
Thursday December 25th,2003.

Tuesday January 20th,2004
Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't written in here for a while! Happy Birthday To My Dad! :D My
mom and I took him out for dinner tonight. We went to Kelsey's and of course we had a cake afterwards at home. It was a pretty
great birthday for him too since the leafs beat the N.Y. Islanders 2-0 YAY!!!!!!! They aren't doing as well as before but
hey streaks can't last forever! They won tonight and hopefully tomorrow too against the Caps. By the way did you all have
a good weekend? I had a pretty good one. My cousins Ronnie and Donna from Underwood visited my parents and I on Saturday and
also stayed for dinner. Nice visit. On Saturday my mom,dad and I are going to an Owen Sound Attack game. They play the Toronto
St.Michael's Majors. GO ATTACK GO!!!!!!! They are going through a bad patch right now unfortunately but hopefully they can
win with us at the game. Don't I wish?!? :D I'll miss the leafs vs habs game on Saturday but there are tvs up in the bayshore
so I'll be able to check the score in between periods. Well bye for now! GO LEAFS AND ATTACK! Later!
Sunday February 1st,2004
Hi guys! How was your weekend? Mine was bad and good. The bad part was that I found my hamster
Fred, dead in a corner of his cage yesterday morning. Awwww poor little guy. I feel really bad about it. :-( However I know
that he's up in heaven, with my first hamster Ricky. I'll miss him a lot but I gotta get on with my life. Let's change the
subject now. Sorry I haven't written, in here for about 2 weeks. Last weekend, I went to see the Owen Sound Attack play the
Toronto St. Michael's Majors. The Attack weren't in it, for most of the game. By the time two periods were up, the score
was 4-1 majors. The Attack tried to come back in the third, but it was too little too late. Final score was: Majors 4 Attack
2. Oh well, that's just the way it goes. It was still fun to go to the game anyways, and I got to wear my new attack jersey
and hat. Um, you probably think that I'm a geek LOL. Anyways moving on. This weekend my parents and I were supposed
to go to Oshawa, to visit with my brother, and make a trip to Toronto to see my grandma in her seniors residence, but the
weather made it impossible. We decided to cancel. Instead we went to the mall on Saturday morning, like we always do, and
went to church on Saturday night. We went out for dinner to Harveys/Swiss Chalet afterwards. Then we watched leafs vs sens
when we got home. VERY SWEET GAME!!!!!!!! The leafs kicked the shit out of the sens. Final Score was: Leafs 5 Sens 1. LOVELY!
:-D I definetly needed that. It cheered me up for sure. WAY TO GO LEAFS!!!!!!!! Definite revenge for the brutal 7-1 loss we
suffered at their hands before. Next leafs game is on Tuesday vs the Chicago Blackhawks. The rematch against the sens is on
Thursday in Ottawa. The Attack also won last night vs the Saginaw Spirit. Final score was: Attack 3 Spirit 2. Both of my hockey
teams won last night, which was great. :-D. This afternoon, my parents and I went to see a movie. It was called Along Came
Polly. Very funny movie. Go and see it. You'll get a kick out of it :-D. Tonight Survivor All Stars comes on after the superbowl.
Can't wait to see it! Bye for now everybody. GO LEAFS AND ATTACK GO!!!!!!!!!! Later.
Wednesday February 18th,2004.
Hello everyone! How are you all doing? I'm doing fine. My parents and I went to Oshawa last
weekend. We stayed at my brother's house and visited my grandmother in Toronto at her senior's residence on Saturday. My sis
and neice Madyson also visited the residence. I was showing Maddy some kiddy games on my lap top computer. She was soooo cute!
She just loved the games! She was shy at first when she walked into the residence because it was a new place to visit but
it didn't take her long to warm up :-D. We all went out for lunch that day too. We went to the Eglington Square Mall. Maddy
loves McDonald's food :-). Man she's adorable. It was hard to say goodbye to her afterwards. Friday night my parents and I
watched Four Weddings and a Funeral. Very funny movie! Saturday night we watched the leafs vs. sabres game. Don't
really want to talk about it. Leafs lost :-( Monday night's game vs. the penguins was better. They beat them 8-4. Last
night's game sucked totally. They lost to the bruins 5-2 :-( Now the darn sens are tied for first with us. Oh well could've
been worse. If the sens had of beaten the caps last night they would've been ahead of us in first. Tied for first isn't as
bad. The leafs play the canes on Thursday in Carolina. I sure hope they beat those losers. No offense canes fans! I might
as well say it: Trevor Kidd really sucks! We need Belfour back! Hurry up and get your back better Eddie! Sure I don't blame
Kidd for all the goals against because the defence needs to get better but I do blame him for a lot of them. I wish that Quinn
would give Tellqvist more of a chance in net. Sheesh! Well anyway enough about that! I wanted to tell you guys that I got
my hair done today at Regis. I got it cut and dyed blonde. I think that it looks fairly nice but it'll take a bit of
getting used to lol. Once I get a picture taken of the new me, I'll post it on my family page. In fact I'll even write in
here, and let you know that I've posted the picture! How's that? :-) It was nice to get to the mall too! I bought some
magazines and a book and had some lunch there too! :-) Well bye for now guys! Later! GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!! :-D
Wednesday April 21st,2004.
Wow I haven't written in here since February! Lazy,lazy me! Sorry about that guys! I've been
neglecting you lol. I can't really write too much right now, because it's 11:45 pm, and I was supposed to be off the internet
at 11:30. Just want to say that I'm sorry about not writing in here. By the way the leafs vs. thrashers game that I went to
ROCKED!!!!!!!!!! I hope you like my leafs vs. thrashers page. The NHL playoffs are going on right now and the leafs have beat
the sens out in 7 games. WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! ENJOY THE GOLF COURSE KRUSTY (aka Alfie) AND COMPANY :-D. The leafs play
the flyers in the second round. Game 1 is tomorrow night. LET'S GO LEAFS!!!!!!!!!! The jays haven't been doing good
at all so far this season. :-( Darn it! Our pitching stinks and our bats have gotta wake up. Oh well, lots of season left
to go right? Anyway I wish I could write more, but I gotta get off the internet and get ready for bed and read my novel. I'll
probably write another entry tomorrow night after the leafs vs. flyers game. GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!! BRING ON PHILLY!!!!!!!!!!
Bye for now.
Thursday May 6th,2004.
Hi there guys! Sorry that I didn't write in here, when I said I would. Been lazy I guess.
Well, you probably know what I'm about to say, yes I'm heart broken that the leafs got beat out by Philly. It makes it even
worse, because it was a crucial game 6 overtime elimination loss. The leafs were losing 2-0 in that game, and came back to
tie it up, to force an overtime. Then the darn flyers scored(namely Jeremy Roenick-who I can't stand, but it wouldn't have
mattered which one scored-I'd still be upset). I love the leafs so much, I was crying. Yes I admit that okay? Go ahead haters,laugh
at me if you want to. You don't intimidate me. Anyway, the leafs just weren't meant to make it past the second round. At least
they went down with grace and dignity, and didn't get defeated in the first round again. I'm proud of them for the great season,
they had, and can't wait til the next one(if there isn't a friggin' lockout!). I will always be a leafs fan til the day I
die, through all the ups and downs. Someday they ARE going to win the Stanley Cup Again, and it will be that much sweeter
when they do, because of the long wait and everything. Since they can't do it this year, I hope that the Calgary Flames can!
Bring that cup home to Canada! Hang in there guys! I'd like to see a flames vs. lightning final. I hope that the lightning
strike the flyers dead. By the way GO TEAM CANADA GO!!!!!!!!!!! They won today in overtime(Heatley got the winning goal :-D),
which means that they are now advancing to the semi finals. Then if they win on Saturday, they play in the gold
medal game. C'mon Canada!!!!!!!!! The jays' bats are starting to come alive! They won their series with the Kansas City
Royals. Their first home series win actually. 10-3 was the final score. More wins jays, please! Anyway I'll see you guys later!
Bye for now! :-),
Shannon-Still a leafer for life.
Sunday May 16th, 2004.
Hi guys! What's up? Just thought I'd write in here and let you all know that I added some
pictures to my family photo album page, and I also updated the thrashers @ leafs page too, and added one pic. How have you
guys been? I've been doing okay. Still miss the leafs of course, hockey hasn't been the same without them, but one good thing
is that Team Canada won the gold against Sweden, in the world hockey championship :-) YAY!!!!!!!! That was great! Can't wait
for world hockey in August and September :-). As for the jays, well they've been in and out, but they did win today, beating
the Boston Red Sox 3-1. WAY TO GO GUYS! :-D. They split the series with them, 2-2. Last weekend, my parents and I went down
to Oakville, and visited my sis,her hubby, and my neice. Maddy is adorable! I hated leaving their house on Sunday. The poor
little thing was crying my name at their door, just as we were driving away(my sis told my mom this today, when they were
talking to each other on the telephone). As for this weekend, well there's really not much to tell. On Saturday,I went to
the mall, watched a movie(Man in the Iron Mask-DVD, second time I've seen the film-rented it a few years ago), went to church,
the usual. This morning I went for a driving lesson with my dad. I hadn't driven in a while, but I did pretty good. I need
practice with parking, though. The rest is okay. Anyway, just thought I'd write in here, and touch base with you all. See
ya later. Ciao. GO JAYS GO!!!!!!!!! And GO LIGHTNING AND FLAMES! Bye, bye.
Wednesday June 9th,2004.
Hi guys! I just wanted to write in here, and tell you guys that my sister Connie had a healthy
baby girl yesterday at 8:28 AM! Her name is Samantha and she is absolutely adorable! I'll put some pictures of her in the
family photo section of this website, once they are developed. My mom is going to be down in Oakville, for 2 weeks,
helping Connie take care of Madyson and Samantha. Well I'll see you guys later! :-)
Tuesday,July 13th,2004.
Well, hello everyone! Just wanted to touch base with you all! I've been kind of busy. I went
down to Toronto with my parents, on Thursday and we stayed in a Travelodge Hotel til Sunday. On Thursday we visited my Grandma,
in her senior's residence. On Friday night my dad and I went to the blue jays vs. angels game. We had fun, even though the
jays lost 5-4
:-( It was a close game, though, and my boy Hinske got a homerun, so there were some
good points to it. Unfortunately, though the end result sucked. Just came up short. Oh well, we were better off going to THAT
game, than Saturday's, since they lost about 11-2, that day. Jeeze! They ended up getting swept by the angels, and the one
time I get to see Halladay pitch, in person, they lose. That's life though. Would've been better off going to Thursday's game
since they beat the Mariners, with a homerun by Delgado, but hey, you can never predict the outcomes. That's the way it goes.
Anyway enough about that. Moving On..........Saturday, my parents and I went to the hockey hall of fame. Oh my God, it's sooooo
amazing! I love it! Definitely go there! If you love hockey as much as I do, you'll LOVE the place! My dad and I even got
our picture taken with the Stanley Cup. I'll put the pictures in my family photo section, once the film is developed
:-) Tonight my parents,and my Aunt Carrie and I, went to the movie theatre, to see Fahrenheit 9/11. I LOVE that movie! Fantastic
job by Michael Moore! Way to go man, for exposing George Bush for what he is: a moronic liar, and fundamentalist. You
people that say Michael Moore is making this stuff up, get a clue, okay? All he's doing is presenting the cold hard facts.
Plain and simple. Don't like that? Well too bad! Wake Up And Smell Reality! The truth sure hurts, doesn't it? At the end of
the movie, everyone in the theatre clapped, including me. We're definitely buying that movie, when it comes out on dvd. Get
out to the theatre and see it, if you haven't already. It really makes you think. Anyway, I hope that you're all doing well,
and I'll see you all later! Take Care!
Love, Shannon.
Thursday August 12th,2004.
Hi everyone! I've been busy! On July 31st, my parents had a 40th Anniversary Party/Dance
at Columbus Centre, and it was a blast! I helped set up before it started, and I had such a blast dancing! I danced with Maddy
a lot, and she was sooooo cute! :-) On Tuesday, my parents and I went to see my Aunt Rita and Uncle Tom, who live near Trenton.
We saw their new house, and boy is it nice! I went swimming in their outdoor pool every day that I was there. I had a ball!
They have this slide, and it's very shocking when you go down it, and you first hit the water! Bracing is what I call it,
LOL. We saw other cousins while we were there, and also my brother and his girlfriend went there on Tuesday to visit us. Today
my parents and I came home. I WANT NHL HOCKEY, NO LOCKOUT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! Just thought I'd add that. Well, I'll see
you all later. Wanted to touch base with you all. See ya! Peace Out!
Thursday September 16th,2004.
Hey everyone! What's up? I haven't written in here, since last month! Sorry, bout that! Laziness,
I guess, lol. Well where do I start? Uh, on August 28th, I went to my cousin's corn roast! The corn and all the rest of the
food, was great as usual! The corn HAD to be the BEST, though! I've never tasted better! I had a pretty good time :-) Last
Wednesday, my sister and 2 neices Maddy and baby Sammie, came up to our place, from Oakville. Oh my God, that baby is soooooo
cute! She's such a smiley little thing! And we just know that she's going to be a little talker later on too! Awww.........And
of course Maddy was cute as usual! She LOVES playing on my computer. Of course I have quite a few kiddie games for her :-)
My brother-in-law came over on Friday night for a little bit. Of course Maddy was happy to see her daddy :-). Connie and the
kids stayed til Sunday. I must say, it's very quiet without Maddy around. Well I hope that all you hockey fanatics watched
the Team Canada Tournament, because it may be the only professional hockey we had for a long time. More about the lockout
later. I'd like to congratulate Team Canada for winning the World Cup! YAY!!!!!!!!!! The games sure were exciting!!!!!! The
overtime one, last Saturday, had me on the edge of my seat! Tuesday's had to be the best though, since they won the cup, that
night :-) Way to go guys! It was GREAT, watching hockey again! Okay on to my feelings about the lockout! It's killing me!
I hate the whole thing, but what hockey fan, wouldn't?!?!?!? These players, don't wanna except the salary cap, because their
being way too damn greedy! I mean, the kind of money they make, is what, us average joes dream of making! As you can tell,
I side with the owners, in this. I'm really going to miss watching nhl hockey! There's definitely going to be a dark cloud
hanging over my head, this winter, that's for sure! There's even talk of this whole lockout, going on til 2006! YIKES!!!!!!!!!
Some people say though, that maybe the hockey season will be salvaged, and it will start in January 2005. Hey, that would
be better than, no hockey at all, although I'll go through withdrawl for 3 months! Don't get me wrong, I love the Owen Sound
Attack, but OHL hockey isn't quite the same! However, at least it will be hockey, for me to see. Anyway, this is a depressing
subject for me, so let's talk about something else now, shall we? I'm hoping to get the Sims 2 tomorrow! I've been looking
forward to it being released, for months! It looks great!!!!!!!! Can't wait to play it! I watched the new Survivor Series
tonight, and I must say, all those people on it, are a bunch of idiots, in my opinion!!!!!!!! The one guy they should've voted
out, they kept! Plus it's women against men, and I hate those kinds of competitions! How stupid! Anyway, I'm finished rambling!
I'll see you guys later! Peace Out, and please PRAY FOR NHL HOCKEY TO START ON TIME!!!!!!!!! Later!
Tuesday September 28th,2004.
Hey everyone! How was your weekend? Well mine was good AND scary at the same time! Okay,
where do I begin? Well on Saturday my parents and I went to Toronto, to visit with my grandmother, at her seniors residence.
When we got back to our hotel after visiting with her, my dad and I went for a swim, which was great, and then we had dinner
at Shoeless Joe's. Great hotel restaurant! I love how it's so sports oriented :-) You know what's really creepy? Well
on Saturday morning, when my parents and I got up, we had the news on, and heard that a fatal car crash had taken place,
at 2 in the morning, right on the major highway, outside our hotel window! The guy, lost control of his car, and
ran into a pole. Talk about shocking! Poor Guy! Anyway, enough about that. Let's move on...... On Sunday, we
went to church, and then went to see my grandma. We took her out to a mall, had lunch there, and of course did some shopping.
My dad and I also went for a swim that day(which you don't care about, obviously, lol). That night my parents and I went out
for dinner at the Golden Griddle(no we didn't get pancakes). Then we went to visit our cousin Iris(well my mom's and mine).
First of all, we turned into her driveway, and while we were doing that, a darn bus beeped at us! What a complete moron! What
were we supposed to do?!?!?!? We HAD to get up the driveway! Idiot! *rolls eyes* Anyway, that was NOTHING compared to
what happened on the way back from Iris's house. We had a nice visit with her, and then 2 hours later, we were driving back
to the hotel(well my dad was, actually) and we were on Markham Road, near the 401. We were in our own lane, and had the right
of way. Well suddenly out of nowhere, this guy came right at us, and almost hit our vehicle! Oh my God, my dad automatically
pulled into the next lane. That idiot would've hit us otherwise. Good thing there was no car beside us in that next
lane, or else we would've been in an accident, and seriously injured, or worse........I may not have been here typing to you
guys, tonight. Once we were safely in the other lane, I was so shook up, I started crying. I couldn't help it. I was soooo
relieved, once we got back to our hotel. That night, though I could hardly sleep. I couldn't stop shaking. I kept thinking,
that if there had of been another car in that lane, we pulled into, we would've been in a car accident, or dead. Just thinking
about it now, gives me the chills. Life is so precious, and most of the time, we take that for granted. I'm just so happy
to be alive, right now. It wasn't my time or my parents' time to go, and I thank God for that. I feel quite a bit better,
writing all this down. I NEEDED to do that! Anyway, that's all for now! Later, folks!
Shannon.
P.S. IF YOU ARE AN NHL HOCKEY FAN, PLEASE SIGN THAT HOCKEY PETITION, that I put a link
to on the front page of this website. Every little bit helps! Even if you don't believe that it'll do anything, please just
at least sign your name! Don't even have to put any comments, if you don't want to. We need our NHL Hockey, back, and perhaps
Bettman and/or Goodenow will see that petition, and move things along a bit quicker, you never know! So once again, SIGN THAT
PETITION! Bye for now!
Tuesday November 16th, 2004.
Hi everyone! Today is my birthday. I'm 22 years old now. Wow, time sure goes by fast, doesn't
it?!?!?!? It was a pretty good day and night for me. I went over to Wendy's today and got myself a hamburger and fries for
lunch. Yummy..........then tonight my parents and I went out for dinner to Pizza Hut. Also very yummy, lol. We've got some
leftover pizza for lunch, tomorrow! Sweet! Okay next! When we got home from pizza hut, I opened up my presents which were:
Dawson's Creek: The Complete Fourth Season DVD Set, A Toronto Maple Leafs winter hat, and a bracelet with my name on it. Pretty
cool presents, eh? Good stuff! At 8:00 we had birthday cake. It was great of course, as usual :-) Guess what? My brother in
law, John, got a job up here in Owen Sound for the month of December, so him, my sis, and my 2 neices are coming up for a
month! Wow, it'll sure be an experience, lol. It will definitely be great to see them all again :-) Their going to be
going home a lot of weekends(not that I'm trying to get rid of them, just mentioning what their going to do). My parents
and I went to see the attack play the Brampton Batallion(sorry if that's spelled wrong!) on Saturday and the Attack beat them
3-2. That was a lot of fun! I love going to those games. Of course, I still miss my nhl too, though :-( The sooner those 2
sides resolve things, the better, imo! Anyway, I better be going now. Just thought I'd check in with you guys. Later.
Luv Shannon.
Monday December 6th,2004.
Well, have I had a weird weekend, lol. I feel like I've lived in an ash tray for 2 nights.
The reason I say that is because my parents and I went to Toronto on Friday and stayed there til Sunday on a smoking floor
at a hotel. The room STUNK badly of cigarette smoke! YUCK! I was practically gagging, and the hallway was even worse! Unfortunately
though, that was the only room that my dad could get us. We visited my grandmother while we were down in T.O. Saturday
we took her to the mall, had lunch, and did some shopping. Yesterday we got home, and it sure is good to be there! We watched
a couple of movies last night: The Santa Clause and How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. That was my first time watching How To Lose
A Guy. It was cute!!!!!!!!! Predictable, but funny. It starts off kind of slow, but gets better as it goes along. Anyway,
change of subject. My sis, brother-in-law and neices aren't coming up for a month afterall! Unfortunately, my brother-in-law's
job got pushed back, so they probably won't be coming up now until the second last week in December. Disappointing, yes :-(
Anyway, just thought I'd update you all. See ya later.
Luv Shannon.
Wednesday December 29th, 2004.
Hey there guys! How have you all been doing? Just thought I'd wish you all a Merry Christmas!
Kind of late I know, but hey better late than never, right, and Christmas IS still going on! I, unfortunately caught a cold
from my neice Madyson. I think I was just starting with it on December 23rd, because I had a sore throat. I started really
getting it on Monday, when I could hardly talk. I'm getting better, but voice is still quite raspy-although not quite as bad
as yesterday. I HATE getting colds! Sheesh! My sis Bonnie said she's caught it too, and I think I may have passed it on to
my mom. YIKES! It seems like EVERYONE has one, during the holidays. What a pain in the ass! Anyway, let's move on..........
I got some nice gifts for Christmas: lots of dvds, a Shania Twain: Greatest Hits CD, Chocolates, body stuff, a Toronto Maple
Leafs calendar and a Toronto Blue Jays one too, clothes, note paper in a really nice flowery box, candies, etc. I hope that
Christmas was good to all of you :-). My neices, sister, and brother in law came up and spent Christmas with us, and then
my parents and I went down to Oshawa on Monday, stayed at my sis and bro's house, visited my grandma in Toronto, and came
home today. Great to be home! As they say: home is where the heart is! I just hope I get rid of this blasted cold soon! ARRGH!!!!!!!!
Please say some prayers for family members of the Tsunami victims. Awful beyond awful tragedy! Don't forget! Okay, well I
gotta go now. Hope you're enjoying the holidays!
GO ATTACK GO AND GO CANADA JUNIORS GO!!!!!!!!!!!
Luv your webmistress, Shannon.
Monday January 10th,2005.
How are you all doing, this fine new year?!?!?!? I just thought I'd write in here
and wish you all a happy new year! I've pretty much gotten over my cold. Still a little bit left over I think, but
pretty much over it. My mom is over hers too. YAY TEAM CANADA JUNIORS, WON THE GOLD!!!!!!!! As for the Attack, well their
on a hot streak right now! The second hottest team in the league after the London Knights. I'm sooooo very proud of them!
Going to see them play the Barrie Colts on January 19th, FUN!!!!! Now all I need are the leafs back, and everything will
all be complete! HURRY UP NHL AND NHLPA, DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway moving on....... I'm going to see a movie tonight at the
theatre: Meet the Fockers. I like Meet The Parents, and this is the sequel to it, so it should be really funny! :-) Anyway,
just thought I'd touch base with you all! Later and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!! :-D
Luv, Shannon-GO ATTACK GO!!!!!!!!
