Damn. 3-2 O/T Lightning loss to Flames last night. Still an enjoyable game. Especially since I got to see my first ever playoff (let alone Cup Finals!) game in person last night! My friend Rand picked up two tix to game five last night. They were nosebleeders, but it's fucking Stanley Cup Finals. Who gives a damn? Well, here was the catch: only two seats. And, to make matters even more interesting, he has two seats (2 rows from the glass) through his company for game seven. But....there's no way of knowing if a game seven will exist. If it does though, not only are they amazing seats, but...the Cup will be there one way or another. So, the choice was, go see a game for sure but they be way up there, or, hold out and risk not seeing a game at all. He would take one of us to one and one of us to the other. I took last night's and that leaves my Love a chance - though no guarentee yet - of seeing the game of all games: game seven. So...hockey. Finals. Bonus hockey (went to overtime). But a loss. D'oh! Now of course my Love is praying they win Saturday so there will be a game seven. *laughs*

Exhausted though. 22,000+ people all cheering, in sync, loud and pumped. Then all of them trying to get home at the same time (including a 45 minute sit in the parking garage waiting to even pull out of the spot) plus the drive home and it equalled a late night. And my poor Love's getting a dmaned cold (no, dammit, I already had a bad cold and not too long ago at that!) so he was tossing all night which means I was up a lot of the night. Morning came too damned early.

Though...HARRY POTTER opens today! Whoo hoo! I wanna go see it. Fight more crowds. Can't be worse then how many people were at the Ice Palace last night! *chuckles*

Anyway, thank goodness for Friday. An hour left to go. My stomach is killing me and I just want to go nap a bit. Still majorly stressed out (car and finances), but at least I had a neat and fun outing last night. Had a great time and was thrilled to get to see the game.

Out for now.
