Rest of my trip to SMASHVILLE
Wednesday was a busy day... I had to rest after my night out partying with Jeff!
I went for lunch with Jill and Addison at Panera and then we went shopping at Target (yes again)
I went to starbucks to get a treat then went over to Hodgins house to hang with kids. I was watching the 3 boys while Hannah went to the Doctor.
Good times, those boys are FULL of energy!
I raced back downtown to Blackstone restaurant to see the Jordin Tootoo radio broadcast! His special guest this time was rookie Craig Smith and during commercial breaks they would sign autographs and take pics, so I lined up and near the end got to chat with the boys! took my pic of course with them too!
Went over to South St to drink with Todd and the boys. then we hit up MERCY LOUNGE for free concert and played some pool. Good to see Coffee who stopped by.
home to bed!
Thurs- Happy birthday JC
I went to franklin to meet up with Kristin and head to the kids school where they were having Thanksgiving lunch and family could join- Hannah asked me to join her SO CUTE.. so we went and ate turkey and stuffing with them on lunch break, took pics!
I went to shop some more.... as always!
I raced to dinner with Paul at Urban Flatts and it was delicious! Pizza and Wine- yum!
Paul dropped me off at arena to meet Roman and I got my ticket and RAN inside to catch the end of warm-up!!!
PREDS vs LEAFS.... game on!
Great game..... we won 4-1 and I had a sign that said REAL CANADIANS CHEER FOR THE NASHVILLE PREDATORS and waved it to a whole section of Leafs fans, they did not like me :P
I was so happy we won! Patron club after for drinks and celebrate. Hornquist came up for after game show! I finally met Joe who had been my online/text friend for months cuz he is a Leafs fan who lived in Nashville and I am a Preds fan who lives near Toronto!! He is hot! (see pics)
I couldn't stay out late. big drive ahead!

Tuesday in Smashville
What a great day..... Lunch with Joel Morgan at Jacksons where there was hair in my salad and that was uber gross but such a funny lunch, we laughed SO much and it hurt cuz we both have sore throats!
Raining today urgh. I drove to Opry Mills Mall and realized its not open yet from the FLOOD years ago!!!
Drove to Brentwood/Cool Springs to shop... I love Target!
Back downtown to get ready for PREDS game... made my sign WORTH THE DRIVE FROM CANADA!
Hit up the game with free ticket from Todd, met up with Stacey and Danielle and saw Tim and my guys in 111.
Jeff drove in from Cambridge just in time for the 3rd period and ALL the goals! what a great 3rd period.
Nashville is the BEST arena..... we showed a high light reel of Joel Wards goals and hits while he played here and then the crowd goes crazy, standing ovation and the screen says THANK YOU JOEL WARD (for playing here last year) ya we are THAT nice.... I love it!
Ovechkin couldn't score which I loved- yuck he is the ugliest man in the NHL.
Happy to see my Preds live... and to show Jeff G what SMASHVILLE is all about..... he was blown away with the energy and enthusiasm of our crowd.. I am proud to call this place my real home!
So much cheering in 3rd period I was losing my voice again! Went to chat with friends then up to the PATRON CLUB to see Mike Fisher in radio after show..... I held up my sign WORTH THE DRIVE FROM CANADA- he liked it :)
out to party... downtown on broadway to show Jeff the local bars! Stage, Tootsies, Roberts et.. so much fun! Met some GREAT people.
One guy who says he is bff with Russell Peters..... crazy.
Over to TIN ROOF, my fav bar in town! Joel Ward was walking in as we were.. talked to him, SO great to see him in this city again, we miss him, I miss him!
Danced it up there, then home to bed around 3 or 4 or something.... wow!
THANKS JEFF for driving in to party.... awesome night!
Off to breakfast with Todd and lunch with Jill then out to Franklin to see my Hodgins!!!
Did I mention that I love this city?

Was good, first 6.5 miles was great then I stopped to pee and was sore after that... lol but kept going and I was proud to finish and in decent time! Thanks for everyones thoughts and prayers! I got my medal and my free beer I love NASHVILLE Preds game at 6 I LOVE LIFE <3
We will head down early to party in the Preds party area then go in to see my 2011-2012 PREDS... my first game this year... wow feels like I have not been here in forever.. SO EXCITED to see our team!
Tonight is the teams and Barry Trotz (head coach) 1000th game! PARTY!

Sad week
Sad news that my Grandma passed away yesterday!!
She was 93 years old and she lived a good life.
I am sad to see her go, but glad she isn't suffering anymore.
She was my last living grandparent and she is my Dads mom...... the worst part is that it is my Dads 63rd Birthday thursday! Not a great week to celebrate and for him to remember that she passed before his birthday.
Thankfully the funeral is friday morning at 10am.... nobody wants a funeral on their birthday!!!
She will be missed but she is in our hearts FOREVER!!!
Grandma we love you,.... miss you already! Your kind spirit will live on in us as we celebrate the life you lived.... so glad we were all apart of it!
Rest now in Peace and watch down on us with love.......
RIP GRANDMA G

HNY
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Lol yes its Jan 24th but I forget about my blog sometimes... def used it more while i was away in Aus!
life is good, working 4 part time jobs and always looking for more, recently got a job at Rev/Flying dog as a coat check attendant and its easy but its every weekend.... not sure I can do that... its not that I want to party on weekends, its that I want to travel here and there.
I would like to head back to nashville in Feb for a week, March head to NYC for a week and then Mom and I are flying to LA to take a 2 week cruise to Hawaii!!!!!!!!!!! sooo excited! its her 60th birthday so we are doing it up big time! :)
family is all good, we had a nice family dinner last night with Greg, Aimee, Lucas and Trish over... so great when we can all hang out, even for a few hours!
Its freezing here in Ontario and so I don't go out much... esp if I don't have too! brrr
Today I only went out to pick up mom from work then pick up Aimee from work and get Lucas and take them home so they didn't have to walk in the snow/freezing cold wind!
My Nashville Predators are doing SO well... we are 4th in the West and 9th overall- SO PROUD!! They play tonight vs Calgary- GO PREDS GO!
