Snow flurries or hockey Flurey's

Here in my town we have recently had a record breaking cold snap. It started with our initial snow dumping, then it just got really cold, and stayed that way. I don't mind the cold, yes it is a pain scraping off my car in the morning, but in exchange here are some things I like about the colder weather:

-I like the feeling of piling extra blankets on my bed.

-Wearing my super duper fuzzy socks that my mom and dad gave me for Christmas.

-Feeling like I am actually Canadian, and my body is able to maintain it's normal temperature of 97.8 degrees (yes, my body runs colder than others)

-Wearing warm fuzzy polar-fleece jackets

-Calgary Flames beating the socks off of the Edmonton Oilers 4-0!!!

-Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes.


OK, so mostly what brings up this random post is that my weather tracker says that snow flurries are expected in the area. Flurries got me thinking about my Hockey Team, the above mentioned Calgary Flames, I think when I was younger there was a hockey player by the name of Flurey (I have no clue how to spell that). This always makes me happy. Also, Doug Flutie, and Patrick Roy (It's pronounced WAHHH). I could be completely out to lunch with Flurey and Flutie. But I know about Patrick Roy. I watched him play goalie for the Colorado Avalanche (my other team).

My mom always said that she felt a little schizophrenic during Flames - Flyers games because she always felt like cheering for all good plays. (Mom learned about Hockey with her Dad in Philadelphia, watching Flyers games).

Anyway, just some random hockey thoughts. Love you!

You are the absolute cutest perosn on the planet!

I love you, but the cold---not so much! Now that I am freezing my bazoopies off in Montana, I remember why we moved away from Calgary! Warm it up for me before I get there, OK? I appreciate it!

And...Hockey! Gotta LOVE it!

Hockey Flureys! All the way. Those are the only kinds that count. Especially when they were young and hot and still played for the one true hockey team.

One day, Theron Fleury scored seven goals in one game. The next morning the Headline in the Calgary Herald said, "A Fleury of Goals". Also, tell Grammy that when I figure out what a "Perosn" is I will probably have to laugh
