We are the CHAMPIONS!!!

I meant to post this as soon after the Boston Celtics took home the championship, but sleep was more important at that time. :) What a game! Celtics blew out the Lakers 131-92. Banner 17 is going up in the rafters! Congratulations Boston Celtics!

Finals Game 6!

Okay, so the Celtics lost Game 5 (98-103). Boston still leads the series 3-2. Perkins has a hurt shoulder and didn't play . Garnett was playing like crap. Rondo has a hurt ankle and has not played well the past couple of games. But we still overcame another huge deficit (17 points, I think) and came back to tie and ALMOST win. This is on the road too, mind you. I have no doubt that we are the better team. However, we need to not dig ourselves out of holes, but CAUSE the hole for the other team instead. Tonight we are back in Boston playing, and I have a VERY good feeling that tonight is the end. (Of course, the conspiracy theorists say that this will go to Game 7 for ratings.) Since here on the East coast the games start at 9pm and run to midnight or later, I decided to go to bed a little earlier last night. I have not been getting much sleep the whole playoffs. But for sure the Celtics haven't either!

GOooooooo BOSTON!! Gooooooo CELTICS!!!

Game 5 tonight!!

Boston Celtics made a historic comeback on Thursday to win Game 4 97-91 against the Lakers. They were down a total of 24 points at one point, at down by 17 at the half. Most 'fans' I knew stopped watching at the 1/2 figuring it would be over. Not me! I kept on keeping on and had my fingers crossed. It was well worth it! They fought back and won. The series is now 3-1 in favor of the Celtics. If they can win tonight, they will be NBA Champions, and it will be extra sweet as they will have won in LA. If not, all will not be lost as they will return to Boston for Game 6. Oh please, oh please take this series on 5 games and show the nation how good the Celtics really are!!

GOOooooooooooooooo CELTICS!!!

New Cats!

It has been almost a year since my cat Mina disappeared. We lost her on August 23rd, 2007. Since this month is "Adopt-A-Cat" month, we decided to get a new cat. We came home with two. They are so sweet! The first is a 2 year old male. He is a black domestic short-haired (DSH). The second is a 9 week old female. She is an orange tiger with splashes of white, and also a DSH. Their names at the shelter were Re-Run and Winter, respectively. They now have new names. Indiana (Indy) and Miss Sissyboodle (Sissy). Mina never was a lap cat, or one to crave affection. Every once in awhile she would jump in your lap when she was in the mood. These two cats are the most laid back, loving, affectionate cats! We love them! Here are some pics:

Eastern Conference Champs!

I know this is late. I have been too busy with everything but my blog. The Celtics beat Detroit to become the Eastern Conference Champs. Yes! This is the first time the Celtics have moved onto the NBA Finals in 21 years. Yes, 21! They are calling it the "Drive for 17!" And since I have been slacking, tonight is actually Game 4 of their pursuit of a 7th banner in the rafters. They won the first 2 games at home, and then lost the first game on the road. Since it is a 2-3-2 match up, the next two games will be on the road, and then the last two (if needed) will be back at home. GO CELTICS! Win number 3 tonight for us!
