I simply cannot compete with the TV tonight for my husband's attention, not with the NHL draft on.

What should I do to bide my time until it ends - vacuum in front of the TV or insist that he take out the garbage RIGHT NOW? Any other suggestions?

CHELLLLLLLZZZZZ!

I've looked everywhere for ice cream and can't find any. I may have eaten it when I wasn't paying attention.

I will try stretching in front of the TV, as that is really the only open space we've got here.

ahhh the draft!!! The second the NHL season ends, I'm starved for hockey news.

Oh, but as for not watching the draft... I got nothin'

I love hockey, too, but watching a bunch of rich old guys and soon-to-be-rich privileged young guys mugging for the camera makes my eyes feel sad.

Draft Day is like Christmas. It's full of promise and happiness and potential! And it's nice to see those young guys who have worked so hard for such a long time get to reap the rewards of all of their blood, sweat and tears.

If you're not into hockey yourself tonight might be the night to round up your lady posse and go for cosmopolitans or something.

HAPPY DRAFT DAY!

Again, I love hockey, and am completely glued to the TV during the trade deadline, but something about the draft rubs me the wrong way. Maybe because it's actually televised, and seeing those kids who don't get picked sitting there in their suits and fresh hair cuts looking really sad.

I just heard a big boo, Gary Bettman must be making an appearance.

He should be painting my toenails.

If I dance naked, we'll never have another baby, I'm sure.

I'm sorely tempted, Julie, but my hubby will run over my foot repeatedly with his wheelchair. It weighs approximately three hundred pounds. Ouch.

Lets hope the Devils draft someone who can score NOW, not 5 years from now!

That's okay RoboRoller cheap shots are part of hockey, too. Your loss.

I think the Devils might want to consider a goalie. Brodeur ain't gettin' any younger...

Ah, I hear ya Squinty... I don't normally want to watch a bunch of rich white guys (plus Charles Wang), but we get so little hockey coverage here that it's still really exciting to see the draft.

If only I lived someplace where people cared about hockey and the NHL and where you could have 65 cent tea biscuits at a coffee shop named after a hockey player and where the currency doesn't talk about how you must believe in god but has pictures of people playing hockey!

My Long and Boring Back Story
When I was a young lass, I had the most incredible eyesight. I could read small typed pages from across the room and identify licence plates from a staggering distance. It was really cool. For a while there, I was invincible. INVINCIBLE!

Life, however, always has a funny way of crash-landing you back to reality, and over the course of a few years, my eyesight went from fantastic to average to poor to complete crap. I would sit in class and squint at the blackboard all day and have absolutely no idea what I was looking at. In Grade Five, I became an expert note-taker by just writing down EVERYTHING my teacher said (which, incidentally, became a very handy skill none of my board-copying schoolmates had mastered when we all needed it in university) and spent my nights begging my mother for glasses. She didn't believe me. Also, she thought they would make me look nerdy.

I walked around half-blind for almost three years until the fateful day my mom caved in and took me to the eye doctor, hurray! But what was it that finally convinced dear Mum?

Was it the fact that I kept tripping on things I couldn't see in the street? No.

Was it the fact that three of my teachers and the school nurse told my mother that I needed glasses, IMMEDIATELY? No.

Was it the fact that I had to hold a book a centimetre from my face to actually make out the words? No.

What convinced my mom to take me to the eye doctor was my squinting and how much she hated it.

'You look like you're smelling boiled cabbage all the time, stop making that face!'

'You're going to have terrible wrinkles when you get older, stop making that face!'

'It's going to freeze like that forever, you know, stop making that face!'

And 'squintygirl' was born. It was, however, the same day I finally got glasses (the ugliest glasses you could ever possibly imagine, natch), so I never had to squint again. Nevertheless, I felt such an affinity for and alliance with squintygirl, that she stayed with me through successively uglier pairs of glasses as the years passed.

Today, I have less ugly glasses and still don't squint, but I continue to salute that industrious little girl. Incidentally, my face never did freeze that way, but I am worried about wrinkles, now that I'm a member of Threadless' Old Farts Club. I guess Mom was right about something. (She was also right about the nerdy thing, too.)
