Catwalk Pictures

As promised here are my pictures from Catwalk. I've decided not to write a long detailed blog about how amazing the event was. Jill and Caroline have already done a great job with that. (Nice to meet you ladies!) I've said it before but I'm saying it again. Dean and Ryan Miller are about as classy as they come. Not only did they put on a beautiful and fun event, but the money they raised will help so many families and children. The $50,000 donated to Carly's Club was only the tip of the ice burg of what is yet to come from The Steadfast Foundation. I clearly can't wait for Catwalk IIII!!!

Catwalk for Charity Videos

I'm totally late in writing about CFC but I had SUCH an amazing time. I have to be to work soon but I thought I'd share the videos I uploaded so far. I have one more but for some reason it doesn't want to go from my camera to my computer. BOO! So in the meantime, enjoy Drew's lovely drum solo, Ryan and Drew rocking out with the band and a Derek Roy singing like it's his job!

I'll post all of my pictures later.

Hanging out in Buffalo

Got into town tonight for CFCIII! After dropping our stuff @ the hotel we went to Pearl Street to catch the game. That was the plan at least. We couldn't even find a place to park! Clearly we went @ the wrong time. So we headed to Jack Astor's for dinner and the game because it's a favorite of both Lu and I. I LOVE the Baja chick tacos.....which are no longer on the menu. Bummer.

We ended up catching the end of the game here @ the hotel downstairs. Half of the room was watching the Sabres game while the other half was watching to Leafs game. The guy sitting next to me leaned over and said "Come on Sens!" during the shootout. HOW DARE HE! Jinx! When they lost he was like "I didn't mean it." Well thanks sir. I blame you for everything. How about that shot Thomas took to the mouth?! OUCH!!! I hope he's ok. From the looks of it I wouldn't be surprised if he had a broken jaw. Ugh I hope it's nothing that bad!

So now I'm just sitting here chilling in the hotel. (Which is beautiful! I've never stayed here before and I love it! Totally coming back!) I already tried on my catwalk dress just to make sure I still liked it. I even practiced my 20's style makeup. Hahahaha what a loser. I'M CLEARLY EXCITED FOR TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!

In closing I leave you with this......

How did I miss this?! What exactly is going on here? LoL

I need your Buffalonian expertise!

Lucinda and I are headed to Buffalo tomorrow for CFCIII. We decided to go a day early to get in the proper Buffalo experience. I.E shopping and eating. Ya know...all the good stuff. But we have one small glitch. We simply CAN NOT miss a Sabres/Ottawa game!

SO.....

Where can we go to catch this game? Somewhere we can grab a bite, have a few drink and still be able to HEAR the game and not just see it on a screen across the room.

Any suggestions would be quite helpful!

Hats off for Tom, Drew is sick and Scruffy goalie love

I'm always so behind. I totally should have written last night but I couldn't keep my eyes open.

First of all....SHUTOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Ryan. Major MAJOR goalie love! And I must add in that I love the scruffy goalie look!

Next up lets chat about that crazy move Drew pulled off. In the words of pretty much everyone it was "sick!" However I have a small bone to pick with you Mr. Stafford. STOP DOING GREAT THINGS WHEN I'M NOT THERE TO SEE THEM!!! I had just got in my car and turned on the game on my way home to hear RJ go absolutely crazy over the goal. You're lucky your post-game interview made me forgive you. All that was missing was your sleepover buddy on your shoulder.

What is there really to say about Mr. Vanek. He was clearly nothing short of fantastic. This was the first hat trick I've gotten to see all year. I love seeing the hats fly! I was amused because they kept showing Tom and Tim chat on the bench after they each had netted a goal. Then Thomas netted a few more and every time they showed the two of them Tim was looking the other way. Jealous? Awwww Tim....I pretty much hate you. However, props for staying out of the hospitals lately. You're right up there with "Tim Taylor" from "Home Improvement."

Do you think this is TV's hat or do you think he picked it out of the hat trick garbage can in the hallway? teehee

I pretty much would like to end my ramblings with this....

Way to go Leafs. Way to be horrible!

Props for the love Ducks!

Welcome home boys! You all have no idea how glad I am for you all to be back in Buffalo! I simply can't take the late starts anymore. I had to take a nap this afternoon! No worries. I'll stay up for you when you need me.

Kind of a bummer last night. After the first period things kind of went down hill. Major props to Patty Kaleta for his goal! Same for El Capitano Rivet! Lalime had a decent game. I got a little nervous when he got skated over but I must admit I was pumped to see Ryan ready to go! How sad am I?! I just wanted to see Miller vs. Miller. I must give major props to the Ducks brodcast for all the Miller love last night! Even Dean got some camera time.

However speaking of Ducks....what's with this fashion show?! Catwalk for Charity > Quacks on the runway. 5 days my friends! 5 days! Anyone excited yet?

I'M ALIVE!!!

I'm back from vacation! Ok I've been back for about a week but I've been a horrible blogger in that week.

The cruise was AMAZING!!!! Every time I'm on TRB I remember just how much I love music and what a big part of my life it is. I hope you guys had time to check out some of the artists I spent my week in the middle of the ocean with. If you'd like to check out some of my videos of performances from the ship you may do so on my youtube channel....

I'm slowly adding them on....they take forever to upload.

So unlucky for me when I got off the boat I got sick....for the entire week. ugh. You may be asking, "Rachael does that mean you missed the most amazing win of the year?!" YEP! SURE DOES! I slept through the 10-2 win over the Oilers. I slept through Drew's hat trick.

I slept through this.....

(thanks for the image sabre chaser!)

But ya know what it's ok. I'm moving on. I DID get to see the SHUTOUT against the Coyotes. OH HEY RYAN! And speaking of Ryan..... T-6 days until Catwalk!!!

So starting today I promise to be a better blogger. I will no longer ignore you all. I missed you!
