Western Conference Finals Game Three: Hawks 3, Patrick Marleau 2 (OT) - Mel is deliriously antsy

I should have written this earlier, but I decided to do laundry/watch the Flyers/Habs game/lie around like a sloth this morning & afternoon. This evening Amy & I went out for tapas to celebrate our sixth anniversary. Actually our anniversary was on Wednesday but both of us forgot. Oops. I mean how could I forget - we celebrated our first anniversary on the release date of Revenge of the Sith. Which we ended up seeing on opening night even though I was visiting her while she was studying in England and she doesn't particularly care for Star Wars. That's true love folks.

This will be a briefer recap, as I am as wired as a kid on Christmas Eve. Not only are we on the brink of our first Finals appearance since my sophomore year of high school (*sigh old*), I will be in attendance tomorrow afternoon. I keep thinking of all of the glorious things that I may witness in person, and then I yell at my brain to stop it because I'm sure the Hockey Gods are tapping into it.

V-Day

I really hate this holiday - you're screwed no matter what your situation is. If you're single, you're made to feel like a loser since you have no one to spend the day with. If you're in a relationship you're made to feel obligated to do something romantic and spend money on things that will either die or be eaten.

I'm thankful Amy thinks that V-Day is as much of a bullshit holiday as I do. I bought flowers for her once when we were first dating and I was told not to do it again as they die and are too expensive. We have our own V-Day tradition - we go out for a pancake dinner. Amy would eat pancakes for every meal if she could. We've done this for the last five years or so - its fun, informal and you don't have to make reservations.

Basically you should be a good partner to your SO every day of the year, not just on the 14th. And after being single for nearly a decade, and being in an relationship for almost six, I don't treat V-Day any different. It's DUMB.

Happy Hallmarks!
