This week, I'm celebrating chocolate.  I've been consuming quite a bit of the stuff lately, which has been good for my taste buds, but bad for my diet.  Still and all, I've enjoyed myself, which is important.

I'm also celebrating that tomorrow I'll be attending a minor league hockey game with my uncle.  As you know, I love hockey.  However, tickets to the Stars games are on the expensive side, so I don't get to go as often as I'd like. There is a local minor league team though, and tickets to those games are a fraction of the cost.  I'm looking forward to watching the game and catching up with my uncle (and perhaps eating more chocolate!).

How was your week?

Celebrate the Small Things - Hockey edition

Happy Friday, everyone!  Have you signed up for this hop yet?  It's a great way to express your gratitude for the little things that happen on a daily basis, and really, isn't that what happiness is all about?

This week, I'm celebrating the fact that hockey season has started!  Even though my teams lost their season openers, I have faith that they will do well this season, and I'm looking forward to watching as many games as I can.

Any other hockey fans out there?  What's your team?

What are you celebrating this week?

Celebrate the Small Things - Recap edition

After taking the month of April off, I'm happy to be back and participating in the Celebrate the Small Things blog hop, hosted by VikLit.

This week, I'm celebrating the fact that I survived the A to Z blog challenge.  It was tough but fun, and I had a blast reading everyone's posts and responding to comments on my own blog.  I really enjoyed the experience, and I'll definitely sign up for next year's challenge!

I'm also celebrating playoff hockey.  Although my beloved Dallas Stars did not make the playoffs, my other team, the Washington Capitals, did. I'm watching their first game as I write this post, and so far, they're winning <knock on wood>.  If you've read my blog for very long, you know that Thomas, the hero of my second book, looks a lot like Brooks Laich.  I tell myself that watching the games counts as research. :)

Finally, I'm celebrating the fact that tonight, I'm going to see Iron Man 3!  Hooray for superhero movies!

What are you all celebrating this week?
