And number 87 (Sidney Crosby) will be back on the ice! I am so excited we got tickets to this game last week before it was announced he was playing. Six rows from the ice for half the price, not a bad deal! Although, we could probably sell them and make a pretty penny. I was so excited when it was announced that I actually jumped up and down, until I realized I was hurting my foot. Oops. I actually couldn’t sleep last night…that’s how exciting this is. I’ve got my Crosby jersey out and ready to go. I wore my 87 jersey to a game a few weeks ago…just because I like it…and the annoying Habs fan behind me asked me if I knew Crosby was injured! Really? This is Pittsburgh and we’ve been Crosby watching since January! It was also kind of sad that she refused to allow her grandson to like the Pens. The poor kid just wanted to be a Pens fan and she insisted if he’s from Montreal, he must be a Habs fan.

To celebrate this huge announcement, I ended up putting my Christmas trees up earlier than planned. I have a black tree with all Penguins, Steeler and Pirate ornaments. The other tree is all browns, blues and off-whites, which matches the color scheme off my house. I’d post pictures, but I still need to make a trip to Target to find a gold star for the top of my “Pittsburgh Tree”.

This morning’s less-than- fun workout:

• Crunches to two songs with a medicine ball –and I couldn’t seem to find anything I liked.
• 25 push-ups — I was able to place pressure on my left foot…despite the fact I am now icing it.
• 3 sets of 15 triceps curls/bicep extensions.
• My PT exercises for my hamstring, which is kind of bothering me at the moment. I seem to have major issues with staying injury free.

Now, I should probably get back to the work that pays me money, so I can enjoy the holiday! Have a great day!
