Cinco de Mayo!

cinco de mayo (may 5th) is always crazy here, i'm sure due to the huge population of mexicans here... it's always partying, drinking and more partying!!

been getting up at 6am to get to my bootcamp workouts on time 6:30-7:30am - next week is the last week. I feel great for the most part - very energized for the first part of the day. but come 3pm i start to crash...... but maybe that has to do with that i still don't leave work before at least 7pm so my work hours have just extended due to coming in earlier. then i get home i still want to cook...
i found out my bootcamp instructor used to play semi-pro football quarterback in Italy before he injured his shoulder - he's on his year off to recovery. tres cool cuz he's a Sharks fan too and we chitchat about the game and the difficulties of getting playoff tickets for less than the price of our kidneys on the black market.

i'm so addicted to Starbucks (SB) it's not even funny. most of my barristas know my name there. if i don't keep switching my orders on them they would totally have my drink made ready before i even walk inside... i usually have 1, somedays 2 SB a day. I know i can save lots of money by making it at home or going without, or having the crap that they make in the kitchen. but i'm spoiled, and a few bucks for an hour or two of my happiness seems definitely worth the while.

i'm excited about the Sharks round 2 games, however it's a bit crazy that they play back to back Sunday-Monday. with the rough physical play, back to back games take a lot of out of a player. Still, i'll get to hear the Canadian anthem in the Shark tank for the playoffs. Apparently the Shark tank is known to be one of the loudest tanks for NHL - meaning very cheering fans. Last round it was almost surreal when you look around and everyone is taunting "Ma-----------son" in unison (to taunt the other goalie). I want a teal feather boa cuz it's the Sharks color (and no, thank you, i've never thought i would voluntarily want to wear the color TEAL). Hurc, you'd be glad to know i finally have a more appropriate-fit SJ Sharks jersey (a gift for a friend for taking him to a round 1 playoff game). the one i had before was a jersey-style shirt. i have a real jersey now (not the player authentic one with the fighting strap, although i don't anticipate having to THROW IT DOWN at the Shark Tank anytime soon...)

haven't had GOOD sushi in a long time, last was when i went with Mary. i love Michi Sushi cuz they sprinkle roasted macademia nuts on top of all their rolls (sorry hurc, know you're allergic) but they've got like 100+ different types of rolls. yum yum


someone sent me a link to furry hockey gloves. i know, no decent player would have this while playing, unless they're at the olympic women's team level. still, the combination is can't-look-away-from-accident-scene intriguing.
