Well there ya go. If ya didn't get to see it check it out.

A really good friend of mine who's extremely talented at video editing, he edited out commercials and the other stories from the episode and linked our whole story into the video you can now see on YouTube. Thank You Sam!!!

We were so excited last night when we were watching the episode.

My favorite quote from Duff was "Man, I don't think anything could top this."

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Such a great evening. So happy.

Hope you like it. Let me know what you think of it.

So excited

Well, we have now arrived at the eve of our Ace of Cakes Episode, titled "Lord Stanley".

The Washington Capitals have posted a video preview of the episode on their website. www.washingtoncaps.com
It's located on the upper right hand corner.

The great hockey blog site On Frozen Blog (www.onfrozenblog.com) has put up a little article about our episode as well.

I've been playing a lot of catch up at work since taking off work to care for my hubby, while and after he got out of the hospital.

We've reached the point of the summer where we are in a true lull of the post-hockey season. But with training camp looming around the corner there is hope yet. The newer players are buying homes in this area (and wow are they big, yes we've seen a few of them), and a few already live here (Ovie, Johnson, Gordon, Green and a few others).

I'll be all over the place tomorrow and will make it home in time to see the episode.

Don't forget if you haven't signed up yet...register and log on to The NHL Arena and "Rattle the Boards" (www.thenhlarena.com). No matter what hockey team you support, One Arena for All Fans!

OMG...OMG

We found out the title to the Ace of Cakes Episode that we will be on. It is:

"Lord Stanley" Cooking


Holy S**t, they named the episode after OUR Cake!!!!!

You should've heard us both when we read it on the TV. We both went crazy (not literally of course) and rode the excitement of it all for the rest of the evening.

Damn I'm still smiling.

For those who need a reminder the episode with our cake is airing (Next Week) Thursday, August 28, 2008 @ 10PM on the Food Network.

MAJOR, Major update

I know I've not done an update in quite a while. But there was a true and honest to god, good reason. Flipper was admitted to the hospital. And was there for 6 days. He was finally diagnosed after 2 days in the hospital with double pneumonia in BOTH lungs. He was VERY VERY sick. His fevers ranged from 102.5 to 99.5, needless to say sitting back and nothing being able to help is just an awful feeling. The doctors originally thought he was having gallbladder and/or appendix issues due to the pain in his abdomen. But when he started to complain of the feeling like there was an elephant on his chest they automatically looked at his lungs and such. And found the inflamation and swelling in his lungs and the fact that both of them were not inflating fully due to stuff in there and causing him a lot of pain just to take a normal breath. He was immediately put on oxygen to keep his o2 levels at a normal range and was able to come off of it the day before he was discharged. He was getting breathing treatments every 4 hours with a nebulizer to help open up his lungs and it worked beautifully. After 5 days of a lot of major IV medications; antibiotics (4 different high spectrum ones), pain medication, anti-nausea meds, steriods, etc. He was put on normal pill medication and a normal diet to get his body back on a normal schedule.

While he was in the hospital we both decided that it was unfair to Glinda for keeping her home alone and not spending very much time with her. So I took her to her favorite place "WOOFS" for 5 days. They were so nice and told me not to worry a bit. I must admit it was a relief off my shoulders not having to worry about her and making sure she was entertained and played with enough.

He's now home..and getting stronger each day. He's resting well and I've got him out of the house a few times. And we're testing things out. His vertigo is still around, but only here and there. So we are taking things easy for now too. Keeping a low profile this weekend and a bit of a relaxing, olympic watching weekend.

When I brought Flipper home his only request other than picking up his medicine was picking up Glinda. Cuz he said he missed her. So I did just that. Glinda was so happy to see us both and equally happy to sleep on the bed during the day and keep her daddy company.

knowing that he's alright and home, I've finally been able to relax a little. But there comes the bad part for me. My back has caught up with me and it now telling me that I've done too much and I must slow down and spend some time laying down (which I've still been fighting) and time on the heating pad. I've been taking some little time resting and such but keeping up with cooking and also doing the best I can in keeping up with cleaning.

Today we've opened the windows to the main level of the house. It's really niiiiiiiiiiice today. We've got some fans circulating air. It's a nice day.

I think that's enough for now. I'm sure I'll update more later. I hope you are all having a great weekend.

P.S...I'm laughing at Men's Badmitton Doubles...dude..the audience has thundersticks??? WTF..LMAO!! Flipper is joking that it's a bloodsport...LMAO.
