It's Hockey Time – GO LEAFS!

Things have been quiet around here. The weekend was quiet. I really enjoyed watching the game between the Leafs vs Vancouver. We lost in a shoot out 3 – 2. Of course Mats Sundin got the winning goal. It sure was great seeing him play again. He was very emtional and I must admit I had tears in my eyes when the crowd gave him a standing ovation! We should of won the game though, we were the strongest team. Vancouver sure is lucky to have him!

I didn’t do too much cleaning on Sunday. I was tired and I still have my cold and it is dragging me down. I wanted to rest as much as possible so I just tidied up the house and I did two loads of laundry. We went to my mothers for dinner and she made a pot of stew! It was delicious!

The Oscars were on and the Leafs played against the New York Rangers and we won in OT 3 -2! I kept switching back and forth so I missed most of the Oscars.

Today was pretty quiet at work, we weren’t too busy. D was quiet today. A co-worker came up to me to talk to me this morning and while I was talking to her D walked by and looked right in. He looked right at me and gave me the nicest smile as he walked by. I was really surprised he did that! I smiled back at him. I didn’t get a chance to talk to him today. He stayed later than usual and I could of gone up to talk to him but I don’t want to make a habit of it everyday. I want him to come to me.

V is really sick with a cold so it doesn’t look like we will be going out for a drink this week. V was suppose to take D out for his brithday dinner but they cancelled it becos V is sick. I wonder why D keeps on saying “V will organize a drink.” Why the heck can’t we go without him? I am almost afraid to ask D that question. I really don’t think D will go without him.

It is really cold here and it is suppose to go down to -14 tonight and go up to -4 tomorrow. It’s late and my blanket is warming up. I’m looking forward to crawling into my nice bed! So how was your Monday?

There is so much to tell you about D, I don’t know where to start! D’s meeting (with his boss) went well yesterday and it was good. My co-workers and I walked into the boardroom, I was the first one in there. He was sitting at the end of the table. I was going to sit at the middle of the table but my co-worker kept pushing me to go all the way down so I ended up sitting right beside him. It wasn’t planned at all! I was kind of uncomfortable about it but I didn’t really mind and he didn’t seem to mind either.

I had to register to get into the program and I was having a problem with it. It just wasn’t working for me. My co-worker I sit beside went to get him to help me. I didn’t even know she was getting him. Of course she was all smiles about that one! D and I couldn’t figure out the problem so D went to get his boss. His boss fixed the problem for me. D actually came by later to make sure everything was alright.

Late in the day after everyone had left. Our manager came over to see and sat down in the chair next to me. She said “I saw you sitting beside him in the meeting.” I said “That wasn’t planned at all. M kept pushing me down.” She said “You could of sat on his lap!” LOL! I said “You should of said that!” LOL! She said “Have you guys gone out yet?” I said “No.” “Not even for coffee?” I said “No.”

I couldn’t believe she said this! This is my manager! I am thinking where the f*ck is this coming from? I told her about the email he sent me at Christmas thanking me for the chocolates and the card and I mentioned going out for a drink and he said “Sounds good, etc…..” She said “Follow up on it. If he says no, then at least you will know.”

This really shocked me, she was actually encouraging me! I said “Do you know if he has a girlfriend?” She said “No, I don’t.” I said “Do you know, if he even likes me?” She said “No, I don’t.” I couldn’t believe our conversation! I was so freaked out by it! Her husband is D’s boss and I am wondering if D might of put her up to this. I couldn’t wait to tell my friend/co-workers about this, this morning. Even they were really susrprised she was encouraging me!

It is D’s birthday on Sunday and he brought in his birthday treats today. He brought in 2 nice coffee cakes. I didn’t see him all morning and I was working up enough nerve to go up to him a wish him a happy birthday. I thought I would send him an email and go up and wish him a happy birthday. Here is how my email went…

Hey! Happy Birthday! Do you have any birthday plans? It’s Sunday isn’t it? We are going out for a birthday drink with or without V. You aren’t getting away with it this time! And D replied…

Thanks. Yes it’s Sunday. I’m going to Kingston for the weekend. Maybe V will organize a drink. And I wrote back…

Have a good weekend. Safe driving, it’s going to snow. We will try for one day next week.

D never replied back. I didn’t expect him too. Just before he replied I went to get my lunch and on the way back I got up enough nerve to go in and talk to him. He was typing away on his computer. I wished him a happy birthday and we talked for a bit. I said “I am serious about my email.” and he said “Maybe V will organize something.”

I went back to my desk and about 10 seconds later I get his reply. It was me he was emailing when I walked up to him! LOL!

I thought he would leave early but he didn’t. I heard him on the phone just before he left and I went over to the other group so I could hear him better. He was talking to a friend and I heard a male’s voice on the other end of the phone. He was talking about his sister (I found out her name) and going to kingston this weekend and him and his friend made plans for March 3rd.

I thought he would come over and say Goodnight on his way out but he snuck out the back way. Needless to say after all of this, I was disappointed he didn’t. Oh well, at least he said “Yes” to a drink! If he didn’t want to at all he wouldn’t of said that or even replied back to me. Would he?

So what do you guys think? Does it sound like he really wants to go out for a drink? Or does it sound like he is just trying to be nice? I am really not too sure what to make of all of this. The big question
is… Will he keep on making excuses when I ask him about going for a drink? If he does, then I’m not too sure what I am going to do. I will emaill him next week and see what his response is.

There isn’t much planned this weekend. J works tomorrow night and I am really looking forward to tomorrow night’s game. The Leafs vs Vancouver! I can’t wait to see Matts Sundin! So will they cheer him or boo him? I think the fans will cheer him. We still love him here!

I still haven’t been able to talk to D about the chocolate hearts. It is really starting to frustrate me! I will try again tomorrow and if not the next day. Sooner or later I will get him!

I had to cover reception at lunch. I was waiting to see if he would come by or sneak out the back way. I really thought he would go out the back way becos I thought maybe he was avoiding me becos of the hearts. But he came by on his way downstairs to get his lunch! I was really surprised and happy to see him! He went straight out the front doors on his way out and I was waiting for him to come back up. My friend/co-worker came up to talk to me in the meantime and I told her to “get lost” nicely of course! LOL! I said “D is coming up, go away!” She got the hint and left. LOL!

D came back up with his lunch all smiles and he said “Hi.” D and his boss have been busy working on a project and they are holding a three meetings this week about what they have been working on. We are suppose to go to the meetings but it isn’t mandatory. The first one was held this morning, the next one tomorrow and the last one on Friday.

D said “I didn’t see you in the meeting this morning. Are you coming to one of the meetings?” He caught me really off guard. I didn’t know what to say. I thought of saying “If I feel better I will go.” But that really isn’t any excuse. Then I thought of saying “If we aren’t too busy.” That isn’t really a good excuse either. So I had to come up with something quick but sounding positive so I said “Maybe tomorrow.” He smiled and said “Ok.” and left.

I couldn’t believe he said that to me! He was actually looking for me! Did that ever make my day! He wouldn’t of asked any other of the girls in my group that. So I guess he is expecting me to go tomorrow. I asked a few other co-workers in my group to come with me. I’m looking forward to his meeting tomorrow.

One of my other co-workers went to the Leafs game last night against Buffalo. When I walked in this morning there was something on my desk. I opened it up and it is a Toronto Maple Leaf banner! It says Go Leafs Go! I love it! I thought that was so sweet of him to give it to me and I emailed him to tell him so and I thanked him! He came by later to see it and he liked where I hung it up. I was going to take it home to show J but my co-workers wanted me to hang it up so we did. I took a picture of it from my cell phone.

I haven’t showed D my sign yet. I want to wait until after his meeting tomorrow and after I talk to him about the hearts before I show it to him.

I got a good night from D tonight when he left and later on I snuck into his office to see if the candy hearts were still on his desk. He ate the last of the chocolate hearts and one of the candy hearts. So there are 4 candy hearts left sitting right on his desk and they are all right side up!

You know after thinking about the way D is being lately, I sure get a good feeling about everything. I can’t wait to talk to him about the hearts. If I don’t talk to him about it tomorrow, I will go crazy I think! LOL! But I sure do get a good feeling. I am glad I gave them to him! So how is your week going?

I still haven’t been able to talk to D about the hearts yet. He was still there at the end of the day and I went to the washroom and on the way back I walked by his desk getting up enough nerve to go up and talk to him but V was in his office. Damn! I know D saw me walk by too. Was I ever pissed off V was there. I was really busy today and I had to finish up some things that had to be taken care of right away so I couldn’t go and talk to him after V left. There was nobody around too, it would of been perfect.

I went around again a few minutes later again working up enough nerve to go and talk to him and he was already gone! I couldn’t believe he was gone! I can’t believe I missed him. I have a feeling he went out the back way. I’m not giving up! I will try again tomorrow.

I did sneak in his office later and I saw the candy hearts were still on his desk. There was only one chocolate heart left. It sounds like he is enjoying them, he is taking his time eating them.

OK, I tell you what I really did. I left 5 candy hearts in the middle of the chocolate hearts. They were… I hope, You & Me, Only You, Melt My Heart and Cloud Nine. Am I crazy or what? Ok, don’t answer that and you don’t have to leave me a comment.

Friday when I went into his office the candy hearts were all still there along with 6 of the chocolate hearts. The You & Me heart was turned over so you couldn’t see the words. I thought that was strange. Why would he turn it over? When I saw them tonight it was turned right side up so you can see the words and they were still on his desk. I’m really surprised he didn’t put them in his drawer. He isn’t trying to hide them and I know V has been in his office and so has his boss.

I have been sneezing and coughing all day long. My coughing is driving me nuts. I’m wondering if I should make an appt with my Dr. becos I think it sounds like bronchitis. I feel crappy and I look crappy. I hope I feel better tomorrow but I have a feeling my cold is going to get worse.

I watched the Leafs lose tonight against Buffalo 4 – 1. I didn’t expect they would win, it was a lousy game. I recorded American Idol tonight and I watched it after the game. Danny is my absolute favorite! I love his voice, he is amazing! He is going to be the next American Idol! What do you guys think?

I will try again tomorrow to talk to D, even if I have to talk to him with everyone around! He isn’t getting away this time! LOL!

It’s been a productive long weekend even though I am sick. I woke up with a soar throat and and headache Saturday morning. It was almost a migraine like headache and I thought it was going to turn into one but thankfully it didn’t.

I had a hair appt. Saturday afternoon. I wasn’t feeling that great but I didn’t want to miss my appt becos I was way over due for a hair cut. My hairdresser cut it way too short. I hate it when it is first cut. It doesn’t start to look half decent for a couple of weeks after I first get it cut. Oh well, at least my hair grows fast.

When I got home, I made myself a cup of tea and relaxed until I had to drive J to work. When I got back I spent some time on the computer and I ordered pizza. I enjoyed watching the hockey game. The Leafs won against Pittsburg 6 – 2! It was a great game!

I woke up with a cold Sunday morning and feeling pretty crappy. Sunday afternoon, J and I took down the Christmas lights since it was so mild outside and I swept out the garage. I tidied up the house and I dusted the living room. Mom came over and we BBQ’d steak for dinner! We had baked potatoe, caeser salade and wine to go with it. Everything was delicious!

Today I did three loads of laundry, washed and changed the sheets on my bed. I finished dusting my room that I started last weekend and I cleaned my bathroom.

J went out with his friends this afternoon to an OHL hockey game in Mississauga. He said it was a lot of fun and they had a great time! I cooked a nice chicken dinner with roast potatoes, brocoli, carrots and rolls.

Even though it was a long weekend, it seemed to go by way too fast! I hope I get a chance to talk to D tomorrow about the hearts. It will be interesting to see how he reacts towards me. I hope I can find out what he did on the weekend.

It’s way late and I need to go to bed and rest this cold. I hope everyone had a great long weekend!

As soon as I got into the office this morning and sat down at my desk. V came around to say Good morning as he always does. He said “Good morning Pam. Happy Valentine’s day. You are the first one!” I was surprised he was there so soon becos I had just taken off my coat! I thought that was very nice of him.

I thought I had made a mistake putting the chocolate hearts on D’s desk becos I saw him walk by our group a few times this morning and he didn’t even look in. Infact he had his head down and I could see he was trying hard not to look in. I thought “Oh great, he doesn’t like it at all.”

Later on in the afternoon I was standing in the hallway talking to 2 other co-workers. We were blocking the hall and D came around the corner and had to stop. I moved over. He had his head down and he looked up and gave me the nicest smile and said “Hi!” (not to my other co-workers, just me) and walked on by. I was relieved! He obviously wasn’t mad at me! Did he ever make my day!

I didn’t get a chance to talk to him today. I think he left early and I didn’t even see him leave. I saw V walk by late afternoon. He looked and he looked upset. He didn’t even smile or come to say Good night to me. I am wondering if he is upset with me becos I gave D chocolate hearts and not him. V was always teasing me about giving him some chocolate hearts. V did not know that I was going to give D any chocolate hearts.

Just before I left I went into D’s office to see if I could see any chocolate hearts. There were 6 of them left on his desk (I gave him 12) and the candy hearts were still there. It surprised me becos I thought he would of eaten them all or put them in his drawer out of view or even taken them home. I know V was in D’s office talking to him so I am sure he saw them. Obviously, D didn’t mind if people found out about them.

So I’m going to talk to D on Tuesday and hopefully I can find out what he did on the weekend. I am anxious to hear what he has to say about the hearts.

Our group all went out for lunch this afternoon to Montana’s. It was a luncheon for one of the girls that had a baby a couple of months ago. It was good seeing her and we had a really nice time. It was nice to get out of the office!

It has been nice and mild here the past couple of days and I believe it is going to be like this all weekend. Tomorrow I’m going to the mall to get my hair cut. I am long overdue! I can’t wait to get it done!

J works tomorrow night and I am going to enjoy pizza and watching the hockey game. The Leafs play against Pittsburg. Sunday will be the usual cleaning day and since it is going to be mild out Mom is coming over here for dinner and we are going to BBQ steak!

Monday is a holiday called Family day. Yay, for three days of sleeping in! More cleaning will get done and I hope I have some me time! I hope everyone has a great weekend! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Well, I did it! I went into D’s office and I put the hearts on his desk, in the shape of a heart. I was panicking though. He stayed late and it didn’t look like he was leaving before me. I thought, he better leave and soon. Finally he did! When D walked by he said “See ya.” I was surprised and happy he did! I waited for about 10 minutes before I snuck in his office and put the hearts down. I also put some of those candy hearts, the ones with the words on them. I can’t believe I did! I didn’t really have to sneak in, there was only a couple of people still around like the girl that sits next to him but she was my Look Out!

V told me this afternoon that D is going to be here tomorrow which really surprises me! Last year he took it off and had a 4 day weekend and went to his sisters. I don’t know why he isn’t going there this weekend. Every long weekend he goes there. I will try to find out what his plans are this weekend. V also told me that he had a business seminar meeting yesterday that is why he took the afternoon off.

I can’t wait to see what his reaction is going to be tomorrow. I don’t know why but I have a good feeling about this! Hopefully I will get a chance to talk to him about it. If I don’t get a chance, then I will talk to him on Tuesday. Wish me luck!

Work is going well. It’s been steady busy the past couple of days so it’s has been nice. Not too stressful.

I noticed on the company calendar a couple of days ago, there was private appt. marked for this afternoon. When I saw D this morning all dressed up, I new he was up to something. I had to cover lunch reception today and he called when I was up there. When I saw his name light up on the phone of course I panicked a bit. I answered it and said “Hi D.” He said “Hi Doris” I said “No, it’s Pam.” D said “Oh, hi Pam. I’m looking for Doris.” I said “She has gone for lunch.” D said “Do you know when she will be back?” I said “In an hour.” He said “OK.” I said “OK. Bye.”

I couldn’t believe I talked to him on the phone. That is the first time ever and I was just so caught off guard and thrilled to be talking to him! I love the sound of his voice, he just melted me!

I thought he would come by on his way out for lunch but he never did, unless I never saw him but I am pretty sure he went out the back way. He never came back after lunch. It has been killing me all day wondering what he was doing this afternoon. Nobody knows. He drives me crazy! Why is he so secretative?

So I have decided to put chocolate hearts on his desk just like I did last year. I know some of you are telling me not to do it but I feel I just have to and I want to. Something inside is telling me to do it! The plan is to put them on his desk tomorrow night just before I leave so he will get them when he walks in Friday morning. I just hope there is no one around. If there is then I will have to sneak in and make it fast. I think I will also put a few of those little candy hearts, you know with words on them. He hasn’t been staying late this week so I don’t think he will be late tomorrow night.

I don’t think D is taking Friday off but I will be surprised if he is here. If he is I hope to get a chance to talk to him. Hopefully the conversation will go something like this…

Me, “Did you eat your chocolate hearts?”
D, “Yes, I did they were reallly good. Thank you.”
Me, “You knew they were from me, didn’t you?”
D, “I kind of had a feeling they were.”
Me, “I told you I would give you something every year. I am persistant aren’t I? When are we going out for drinks with V?”

D will probably say “I don’t know, it’s up to V.” Hopefully he will say something positive. If he seems annoyed by it, I won’t do this again next year. But I really think he does like the attention. We will see how it goes. Wish me luck please!

So the first person I see this morning when I walked into the office was D, he was by the photocopier. He was all smiles and said Hi to me. Then I saw another co-worker in the kitchen who saw the whole thing. She walked with me down the hall to my desk and she smiled and said “You are funny, I’m not going to say a thing.” Of course I was grinning from ear to ear! I’m sure he saw that and probably even heard us giggling.

About mid afternoon, I was by the other photocopier and I saw D going to another area. Before he turned the corner he saw me and he did a turn around and started walking toward me. I couldn’t help but give him a big smile and he was smiling. I knew he was going to mention the game. He said “Did you watch the game?” I said “Yes, it was a great game!” Then we were teasing each other about the game for awhile. He said he saw bits and pieces of it.

It got me thinking. What else is he doing besides watching the game? I know darn well he is sitting on his couch watching the game stuffing his face chips and beer. He always says “I saw bits and pieces of it.” What the heck else is he doing? Why wouldn’t he tell me what else he is doing? If he was at a friends house or a bar, why wouldn’t he tell me? He is so frustrating sometimes!

Anyway, I was glad he was the one who brought up the game first. I just don’t know why he wouldn’t come up to me when I was sitting at my desk. Every one else does. But he will talk to me in the kitchen or if I am covering reception. Don’t you think that is strange? He still made my day even coming up to me and teasing me about it!

We were two girls short today and we didn’t get too much mail in today so we weren’t terribly busy. Everyone should be there tomorrow.

It was a nice and mild day today and we are suppose to get rain for the next couple of days. Hopefully it will melt all the snow away! So how was your Monday?

I have had a nice, quiet relaxing weekend and that is just the way I like them! J and I went to the mall yesterday afternoon. We didn’t stay too long though. We treated ourselves to Mr. Sub for lunch and got a couple of things we needed at Shopper’s Drug Mart and left.

When we got back I tidied up the house and I made myself a cup of tea and relaxed a bit until I had to drive J to work.

After I got back, I played on the computer for awhile. I ordered pizza and I enjoyed watching the Leafs vs the Habs game. We won against the Habs 5 – 2! It really was a great game! It’s going to be fun at work tomorrow teasing all the Habs fans, especially D!

This afternoon I really didn’t do too much other than two loads of laundry and tidied up the house some more. We went to Mom’s for dinner and she cooked roast pork with apple sauce and roasted potatoes and cauliflower with cheese sauce. We also had rolls and of course white wine! It was delicious!

I enjoyed watching the Grammy’s tonight. I did some ironing while watching the show. It’s another Monday already tomorrow. The weekends are way too damn short, aren’t they? I hope everyone had a good weekend!
