Well I was hoping for more laughs than there was this past weekend and also hoped for some very entertaining curling. It was entertaining no doubt, but WHOLY F-Bombs Alice!! 
The final of the BDO consisted of Glen Howard and Kevin Martin. Both teams known for there high percentage curling as well as being arch rivals. It was a good final, but I watched it on the tube at my friend Karen's house. I had the opportunity to see all the games this past weekend thanks to some friends getting event tickets. Thanks DEAN!But after a long couple of nights and what I thought to be some poor curling to say the least, I opted to hang with my buddy Karen and watch the game together.
There is no surprise that as a curler you have the occasional bad game. It happens.
To sum it up, Martin followed suit of his third Johnny Mo who was MIA when it came to making shots and Glen Howard taking advantage of the situation and getting lucky on top of it. In my opinion as I'm sure a few others would agree including Glen after the non intentional double take out to sit three to seal the deal.

It was interesting sure, but very strange to see teams with such high profiles miss shots so badly and play so badly. It was shocking, but yes, they are human which is nice to see once in a while. I can't say I had a favorite going into it, but I will admit to cheering for the underdog. That being Team Mike McEwan.
It was nice to see Mike McEwan a young team from Manitoba battle it out with the big guns. I thought he did a great job getting to the Semi's and although the outcome wasn't to what I'm sure he would have liked, he still made the crowd and fellow Manitoba's proud. He also succeeded in accomplishing a few obstacles. He has now successfully beat Glen Howard twice and also achieved his next goal of busting through the Quarters to get to the Semi's. Well done!
He and his team deserved the round of applause they received as they walked off of the ice after the semi final lose to Martin.
It was a good showing for them, and I can't wait to see how the provincials work out for these boys. I personally think McEwan is the team to beat. The very best of luck to you boys!!
DESTINATION CUBA!!!
Destination CUBA!! It's almost February can you believe it? I will be going on vacation into the sun during the winter for the second time in my life! Normally due to my curling schedule and vacation time I put towards my schedule I don't have a chance to go away. I've been trying to get a base tan in preparing for the weather and sun to avoid burning my pasty white flesh, but the availability for tanning at this end of the world is completely booked up. I should be tanning every second day, but it's looking like it's only going to be once a week. Not good. I guess I'll have to do with being abnormally white and scaring off the locals, while trying to invent a way of putting sunscreen on my back by myself. Seriously...this is reason for concern. I'd like to think I could come up with an idea and patten it and maybe present it to the panel on the 'Dragon's Den', but I wouldn't really know where to start. Seriously if you are a single person who got a great deal on a trip to a sunny destination and go by yourself..what do you do? Sure if there is a Cabana boy around they might be able to help you out, but I'm speaking from a woman's perspective. If I was a guy, do you think some Cabana boy would want to help and if he did I'm sure it would be for a hefty fee.

I'm very excited to see her as well as share this very special and exciting day with her. We have a wonderful friendship and so it was with no hesitation that I join her in this very special day. I am excited! However this is a part of me that wishes I had a companion (whether it be a friend or a boyfriend) join me, but I'm sure as in past history I will do just find on my own (minus the sunscreen application..yes it is a concern).
I hope to check out some touristy things and perhaps do a little bit of hiking and such. I will see what is available to me once I get there. I was hoping to swim with dolphins, however that might not be available to me at the location we are going to be at. Again, we will see.
I haven't left for Cuba yet, but I have 18 days left. So if you're looking for me after these 18 days you know where you can find me. :D
