It must be the weepy day of the month! WTH!

Sometimes I think God is looking down on me looking for opportunities for payback because I'm such a pain in the butt. I'm on my way home from Target which though was a needed trip could have waited til morning but I was avoiding homework. I get all my stuff, and head out. I get going and I feel like I'm in that commercial for satellite radio, I can't remember whether it was for XM or Sirius, but where you begin to feel like they are watching you because they know exactly what to play. I have been missing Rob this week probably because of the 4th and I was thinking about him a lot because of the holiday. Anyway, before he left for Iraq the first time I sent him a song to remind him of me. I avoid hearing that song at all costs because it makes me sad. Two notes of the song, not even so much as a word hit the speakers and I'm crying, out right, no way to say it was something in my eye crying.

I pull myself together and I come online. I got an email from Aileen that made me laugh and feel a lot better about a situation, and then I read her blog. I haven't had the TV on in probably a week except to watch Big Brother tonight. And her blog tells me that Steve Yzerman retired!!! I'm crying again. Steve Yzerman was like a hero to every hockey fan that grew up in Detroit. I'm so sad. Ok, yeah, he had a 22 year long career, we all knew it was coming, but but but...seriously, I cried when he won the Stanley Cup the first time. To see him lift it over his head still gives me chills to this day when I see it! Hockey will never be the same! Thanks for the memories, Steve! I'm going to dig out my Stevie Y jersey to wear to bed...
