My Latest Obsession...The Boston Bruins

I have a new obsession.  It really started when I married a Bruins fan, although the first couple of years of marriage we didn't watch all that many games.  But recently I don't just LOVE the Bruins.  I've become OBSESSED.  It started with a dream when I met Shawn Thornton and he brought me to a game as I'd never been to a game.  The Bruins killed the opposition and Thorty and Big Zee decided I was a good luck charm so they kept inviting me and my husband to sit behind their bench at all the TD Garden games and they kept winning.  I was disappointed when I woke up and realized it wasn't true.

So I turned my dream into a novel, as I usually do with really inspiring, exciting dreams I have.  I have 25 pages written and I've hit a couple of roadblocks but I think I'm overcoming them.  But it doesn't end with the "Fan Fiction."

I've been following the official Facebook and Twitter pages for the Bruins for awhile now, but lately I get a little jolt of excitement, a little skip of my heart, whenever I see an update.  I watch the Behind the B series by Alex and Ani, and I watch all the Bruins shorts on Bruins TV on the official website.  My husband knows I have crushes on Zdeno Chara and Shawn Thornton, but it's all good because everyone involved is happily married so I'm not stirring up any trouble.  I'm just saying I admire them and think they're cute.  Of course like half the team is really handsome, especially with their scars.

This week The Bruins haven't played yet.  They had something like 5 days off.  Now they're flying up to Montreal to face their "Rivals" the Canadiens.  The "Habs" as they're known as well.

For Christmas I want a Chara Jersey,  The official one in Black and Gold.  The one that costs like $180.  Keep dreaming, right?
