Is it October yet?

I ask myself that question all the time lately! I am so excited for the new season to start...it's making this summer go by kind of slow. Not to mention, where I live in Michigan...it has been a heck of a lot cooler summer than I hoped. :( So to me, I think if it's going to have these lower than normal temperatures...there better be some hockey.

Today, I happily learned that the new girl I am training is also just as much into the Red Wings and hockey as I am. I asked our co-workers Cheree and Libby if they remembered how I was during last season. They looked at each other, laughed, and rolled their eyes. I just smirked and said "Double that." And pointed to Brandi. They stopped laughing and started muttering how bad it's going to be.

I was usually in a good to great mood the days after games the Wings won (depending on how intense the game was) and in a pretty crabby mood on the days the Wings lost. Plus they always had to hear me going on and on about hockey and they all have no idea what I'm talking about. At least NOW I will have someone understand what I mean if I say slashing or cross-checking.

The joy and feeling that run through my veins when I watch hockey...the aggressiveness, the energy, the spirit...so much that give me such a natural high. I am too excited for the new season to start with new rivalries and new players to the team. It's amazing to see so many guys from all over the world play on the same team for the ultimate prize.
