Woo hoo! My new hockey pants have arrived, I'll get them on Sunday. The best part is that they're blue. I also am getting new shin guards (literally the day after I ordered them, the old ones started to chafe -- bad) and shoulder pads. The first two items I'm getting at cost through the help of a very nice man on my hockey team. Woo! They'll match nicely with the had-to-upgrade-because-Gerald-took-me-out-in-practice elbow pads that I recently purchased.

I've been so giddy about having a full-sized paycheck these last 2 months, last month I went a little overboard on spending. I couldn't stop, it was so thrilling to think that in 2 weeks, there will be more money coming in. And 2 weeks after that, and 2 weeks after that.
