Hurt feelings

Some of you may have seen this already, or, if you’re like me, you’ve seen it over and over today and it just never gets old. In any event, I often wonder if hockey players have hurt feelings when huge amounts of people boo at them as they skate on the ice, or taunt them in the goal – i.e. Turrrco! Turrrrrrrrrrrrco! I also wonder how awful it must be to be pulled out of the goal with all those people jeering at you?

I’m just thinking about that as I’m watching the Canucks cream LA in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Anyway, my weekend ahead is looking to be very crafty and exciting. I’m meeting up with Cynthia and visiting bloggers, Robyn (from Montreal) and Bea (from Texas) tomorrow at the Daiso in good old Aberdeen Mall. And then on Sunday, I’m on the road to Mission for a real live crafty tea party! Huzzah! I’m so excited. I’m taking my crocheting with me for that. And my bird sewing. I need a sewing consultation on that project. I don’t get it. I’m missing a basic step and it’s right in front of me. I know it. Anyway, I’ll get it sorted out for sure. And then I’ll fill the house with stuffed birds.

Flickr party meet up

1) They had me at flickr pins. And then they pulled out some Olympic pins. WHAAAAAAAAAAT?
2) They gave us food and beverages
3) Did I mention the Olympic pins?
4) Then a member of the IOC came to tell us the following (please note, this is my summary. Not a direct quote):

I guess we weren’t clear. We’ve talked to our lawyers. You guys can post all the photos you want of the Olympic games – even at events or anywhere else – as long as you’re not selling them for money, it’s cool with us. SHARE YOUR OLYMPIC PHOTOS!

Best. Flickr. Party. Ever.

I didn’t see that coming at all. Then we ate free crab macaroni, lobster wings and prime rib!

It was a glorious night. And I met Kimli.

Just a couple more photos from last night here.
