My 's hockey team played a very late game Tuesday night, against the number one team in their league. Currently we are rated number two in the league. So, even though it was a very late game on a week night, I was looking forward to it. It should have been a fun game right?
Our came to play hockey, and they worked hard. This would have been fun, but then the officials started calling penalties. I don't get too excited by a couple of bad calls because it works itself out in the end. However, on this night that didn't happen. They waived off our goal, and continued to call penalties that were very questionable. Twice we were short 2 guys, and still managed to keep the other team from scoring. Parents from the other team apologized for the poor officiating of the game. I'm sure they wanted to see the two teams play as well. Anyway, we lost 2-0. The played well, so the parents all stood and clapped after the game. Our skated with sticks up (like it was a win), recognizing that we knew they worked hard.
Then, last night we had a game, albeit not as late and against a team that was much lower in the standings. Apparently the officials were warned of our game the previous evening, and that one of our coaches received a one day suspension. So, what do you think happens? They call ridiculous penalties against the other team. If two skaters came into any physical contact a penalty was called on the other team. Two skaters from the other team were sent to the locker room, and we ran out of ice time before the end of the third period from all the stoppages in play. We won 5-1, but I'd rather play a fair game where actual penalties are assessed when someone does something that is against the rules. Don't try to make up for the poorly called game the night before, by punishing someone else.

Seems like I get asked this question multiple times a day. The response that I'm not looking for anything doesn't seem to satisfy people. Is it so unbelievable that someone is content with their life? That's not to say that I don't enjoy a good conversation with someone in chat, or exchanging an email with someone that has piqued my interest. But, I don't spend my day seeking out these people.
I've reached a point in my life, where I am content being single. I don't need a man by my side to make me happy. With that said, I'm sure there is a man out there somewhere that I could enjoy some special moments with. I don't feel the need to seek him out, but to continue to enjoy doing the things that I like to do, experience new things and new people.
I know, it's shocking that I am on an adult site and not actively seeking a sexual experience with every guy I come across! 
Are you looking for something? If so, feel free to share here!

Another tournament comes to an end. We had to work hard on Saturday to get a win. It was a tie in regulation, neither team scored during the 5 minute 4-on-4 overtime. So it went to a 5 man shoot out. Our other goalie was in net, and his mom said "I can't sit for this". I know how she feels, it's nerve wracking to watch your tend goal during a shoot-out. Our 5 shooters came through with 4 of 5 putting it in the net, and low and behold our goal tender came through with saves on 2 of the 4 shots he faced. This was a tough win, but it was good to see the face down the adversity and come away with the win. Makes me think they like to play the underdogs.
Although there were a few rough spots, the team made it to the Championship game yesterday. They worked hard, and came away with a first place trophy last night. The post game celebration was sweet, there's nothing quite like seeing twenty teenagers on the ice celebrating a big win. Apparently they even broke out some sparkling juice in the locker room! Oh to be a again.

Playing to win?

Tomorrow starts the first game of a hockey tournament. Last weekend we played 4 games, and made it to the championship game. Most people would think this was a great accomplishment. And it would have been, except we didn't give it our best shot and as a result we got second place.
Did I mention I hate to lose? I mean it's bad enough to lose to a team when you give it everything you have, but they are just better or more talented or faster than you. But, to lose because we got cocky and didn't put in the effort....well that burns me.
What I wonder about is if the twenty testosterone filled teenage boys realized why they lost? It didn't help that the officials made a number of what I will charitably refer to as questionable calls. However, even with that adversity we still had an opportunity to win and we blew it.
Ah well, anyway back to the topic at hand. Tomorrow is a new day, and a fresh opportunity for the boys to bring their A game to the rink. Hopefully they give it their all tomorrow night, and for the remaining games this weekend so we can come hold our heads high on Sunday win or lose. I'm hoping for a win....

So tonight I am sitting at my sons hockey game, which is the first game of a tournament. They are announcing the players names, and one of the mom's from the other team comes up behind me. We just played this team Sunday night, and came away with a win 7-0. Anyway, the mom says to me "We just played you Sunday night didn't we?"
I nodded, still a little puzzled, but thinking she just wants to know if it's the same team. She continues, saying "I just wanted to say it was a pleasure to play you on Sunday night, you have some of the nicest players. You played a really clean game, and I just wanted to pass that along."
There was a bit more to the exchange, as this is the only team we have played all season who hasn't gotten nasty in the 3rd period. They were very good sports, even when losing and even our players said they were very friendly on the ice.
It's nice to see that there are still teams who value good sportsmanship, especially when they are teenage boys who can get out of hand so easily.
The game ended with a win of 4-0, and while the other team took a few penalties in the 3rd period they certainly weren't getting nasty or fighting. We had to have a little excitement though, so as the last few seconds started ticking off the clock the fire alarm went off at the rink. Fortunately it was a false alarm, and all the got off the ice without incident.
Apparently there were 2 other tournament games this evening, and in one game 7 players were ejected for fighting and will they will not be able to play in any of the remaining tournament games. In the other game 5 players were ejected for too many penalties. So, all in all, we had a good evening.

Tolerance

My tolerance has been tried this week by the stupidity of others. First there are the people out there, who choose to email me without reading my profile. Generally, I give the person a break the first time they email me even if it's obvious they haven't read my profile. However, when someone emails you repeatedly after I have responded indicating politely that I am not interested, I begin to get irritated.
Do they think that "no" is an invitation to come back and give me another sales pitch? Does "no" mean yes to them? I have a difficult time understanding what makes these people tick. Usually I just delete their emails without responding at that point.
Then their are the people who feel the need to email me to chastise me for joining a sex site when I'm not interested in a hook-up. Apparently some people feel that is the only reason to join this site, and others are not entitled to their own opinions or reasons for being on the site. While I am tempted to respond to these people and blast them for their rudeness, disrespect, and general stupidity, I just delete this email as well. Usually there's a little steam coming out of my ears after one of those.
I went back to work this week after taking a couple weeks of vacation time over the holidays. Now, you'd think that emails at work would not push me to the edge of my tolerance. I had a little over 500 emails in my inbox when I sat down to read my emails on Tuesday morning. I thought that wasn't too bad, and I had cleared most of the emails within a couple of hours. One of my staff had disregarded several emails, and started working on a new queue which is now all #&$@*! up! Uggg....
On a more positive note, it is Friday and I'm home from work. And, I don't have to go back until Monday. I think I am going to enjoy the two days off.

I have received several emails from different people over the last few days referencing a flirt I supposedly sent them. Interestingly enough, when I look at my flirts sent list they aren't on it. Is this a new line, or an FriendFinder-x technology issue? Grrrr
