Making Goals and Breaking Hearts

I have no excuses for this side blog, it’s whatever hockey player catches my fancy. Also, I am a camera op for an AHL team, so there’s lots of talk on that. THIS IS A HATE FREE BLOG.

So I mentioned that I got fired in December but I found a new job in February, yay! Unfortunately, my car payment suffered and I need to bring it fully current by Monday or it will get repossessed.

I’m about $100 short, but what I do have is 20 autographed copies of Goalie Tandem!

For today only, I’ll sell them for $15 apiece, shipping included in the States.

Working Utah Hockey Clubs first official game tonight. It’s preseason hockey. I won’t know any of the players, but I do know who I want to win.

Coming out of hibernation to post this video for @halliewriteshockey

Back on a shoulder cam in… I don’t know how long.

I just got done moving this past week and my shoulder is killing me, but what can you do?

Iowa Wild is playing Texas Stars

And my job won’t let me wear this.

(Which I totally understand)

It’s an old Iowa jersey when we were affiliated with the Dallas Stars. I haven’t had a chance to wear it yet. Mainly b/c I work pretty much every game and we can’t wear other team items. One day I will get to wear this.

Something I learned today.

Actual Baby Goalie Alert

My team has something called “Blue Line Buddies” where young hockey players get to stand on the ice with the big guys during intros. Tonight we have a baby goalie and it was amazing. I’m sharing for @halliewriteshockey

IOWA WILD HOCKEY IS BACK

It’s our preseason warmup. This is a night, kinda like a dress rehearsal. Next week is our home opener, so tonight is the night to get out the kinks.

We have a new head coach and new graphics.

There are changes, but I am excited for this season!

Hockey Boys Doing Good

My 13yrs participates in an adaptive Baseball league. Every week they have “Angels in the Outfield”, which is usually a high school sports team volunteering to accompany the players during the game. Today’s angels are the Capitals, a local competitive High School team. Lots of flow! Lol.

I really love seeing young athletes supporting other young athletes.

Hi y’all I wrote 2K today and I made chicken soup with gnocchi and now I’m finishing up the centerpieces for the launch party. What have you guys been up to?

[shootinhockey]

Working. Watching a Thai BL romantic drama. Crocheting a hat probably no one wants. Rewatching Red, White, and Royal Blue for the 10th… maybe 20th time. Reading books that would make most people embarrassed (while waiting for my favorite author to release her next book. ;-p)

Oh, and waiting for hockey season to start so I can make more money. Lol

[halliewriteshockey]

I need help. I haven’t asked in awhile for a lot of reasons, and things are finally on the upswing with the new job, but I’m paying rent on two places now, as well as moving costs, I won’t see commissions on my sales until the season starts and I have $13 in the bank. I owe a friend $500 I can’t give him. I emptied my account to pay the rent and utilities, and I’m just. I’m bled dry

I’ve been saying things will get better for awhile now, and I finally believe that they truly will, but the question has now become, can I hold on until they do

Simon’s book is 2/3 done, and given a fair wind and a following sea, I could have it completed in a month. But instead I’m drowning. Every atom of energy is focused on keeping us alive, and that tends to burn out creativity really fucking fast

I have a couple copies of Power Play and Blindside Hit, and a credit with Stamps.com. If anyone would be able to help, I would be honored to mail you an autographed copy of either book

The only reason I’ve survived this long has been through the kindness of those around me. I do not take it lightly, and I am shamed to my core at having to ask for your generosity again. But we’re so close to being on dry land again. If you can help, I would be grateful beyond words

I don’t like trade time. It cause me anxiety.

Can you explain with this news means? For those of us who may not be in the know.

Basically, the team I work for was in the BCHL, which is a league for players focused on getting scholarships for college. Some do make it to the NHL but it’s more about getting into college for most of them.

But we are now officially in the WHL, which is major junior hockey and drafts the most NHL prospects out of any league in the world. It’s a huge step forward for us, we’ll be playing the teams I’ve been following for years and it’s incredibly exciting!

[shootinhockey]

This is so amazing. Congrats!

Des Moines Buccaneers are in the USHL, which is kinda like the BCHL (I believe). We have had a few drafted, but not many. Usually the players are there to move up the ranks.

[shootinhockey]

The way Dallas fans are acting is disappointing me. Yeah, we are playing like shit and our captain made a dumb ass choice, but you are showing your ass by throwing trash!

Do better!!!

@greymichaela I know you love this as much as I do. Lol.

Also, I know there are others that will live this as well.
