I'm keeping an eye on the score and I might turn on the game a little later. Go Lions! The person below me thinks we need to convince the Lions from the very start of next season that they're already out of contention and there's no pressure so they'll play loose and actually win like they've done the last few.

CCM. Ovechkin's disembodied head can't be wrong. Throw stuff out or shove it in a closet to deal with later? (Not actual garbage, just clutter stuff.)

Only if I could change the setting for his voice! I'm sure the movie is wonderful, but from the way WALL-E's voice grated down my spine in the previews I couldn't bring myself to watch it. The person below me plans on getting a pet this year.

Mice. Rats squick me out since we had an infestation of massive swamp rats in the house when I was a kid. (We had mice too, but they were very little and inoffensive compared to the rats!) Grover or Elmo?

The title pretty much says it all, but the Wings are having a New Year's Day promotion--any upper bowl seat for $20.11. This is for Monday through Thursday games and is only available through Ticketmaster.com. (Or through DetroitRedWings.com, but that just links to Ticketmaster anyway.) This does include high profile games like the Caps on 3/16 and the Pens on 3/21. Thought I'd pass it on in case some of you aren't on the Wings' email list or on Facebook. ETA: The promotion supposedly ends at midnight, but I think it might be midnight in a different time zone since it was supposed to start at midnight and didn't.

I'll make lists to keep myself focused, but a schedule is really just too organized for me. Which accent sounds more awesome: Swedish or Russian?

They're still up, but they're coming down today. The person below me has a New Year's superstition they always follow.

I got to sleep around 5:30 but was able to sleep until around 11, so not too bad. This is why I almost never drink-- heartburn and insomnia. Stupid delicious Smirnoff blueberry lemonade things!

I only did those two years when Ozzie was playing for them. The person below me got one of the nifty Wings 2011 wall calendars and was excited to hang it up right at midnight.

Holiday Ale sounds more cheerful and festive. Red jersey or white jersey?

Insomnia, insomnia, you are such an uninvited mooch of a guest.

I love how the listing for the genre is "frytrance".

He's got his good points, for sure. I wouldn't say I have a crush on him myself, but I certainly understand why others would. The person below me thinks there should be an arranged marriage between one of Lidstrom's sons and one of Yzerman's daughters so as to create a future generation of super-players.

Going over to my in-laws' for my MIL's birthday, then coming home long before midnight but hopefully in time to see any part of the Wings game. Almonds or cashews?

You know, I think I do on most days. Yikes. The person below me has tomorrow off from work.

I feel your pain, GoWings1905, though not quite as much. I have Pavel and Cleary on mine. Anyone else suddenly feel they needed a paper bag to breathe into when they saw this headline?

OZZIE! Boy, did he ever earn that one!

Hopefully Ozzie will have read some smack talk about himself recently so he'll be playing mad and motivated. You gotta think he'd absolutely love to get 400 in Denver.

Oh for.... I thought he would be fine, since he went back out after the initial puck hit. Damn. Insert standard commentary about the team overcoming adversity and guys needing to step up here. Meanwhile, I'll be over in the corner trying to devise a ritual to appease the hockey gods before they decide to poke someone else.

Totally fell off the workout wagon the last couple of weeks or so, between not feeling well and Christmas with all its attendant busy-ness. Time to climb back on!

Hairdryer in cold weather, towel dried otherwise. Soup or salad?

Yeah, I seem to have a highly inflated idea of my own culinary and time management skills. They weren't even simple fruit pies, they were cheesecakes and chiffon pies!

Cherries. Apply for a higher level job in a department closely related to the one you're currently in, knowing that if you get an interview but don't get the job, you'll still have to work closely every day with the people who turned you down, or sit tight in your current position, knowing that you've got a 99% chance of a promotion when one person retires within the next couple of years?

A couple of people on the 31st and one on the 18th. (This post is for your birthday AND Christmas!) The person below me has had to run out the the store for a forgotten item more than once today.

If I ever again come up with a plan which involves making 6 pies in one day, please stop me.
