The adventures of Sidney Penguin

My love for the Dallas Stars dates back to very early 1994. They are my team forever and ever, amen. However.....I have adopted another hockey team in recent months (shock! awe!). The Pittsburgh Penguins showed up on my radar in December. Actually, Sidney Crosby showed up....the rest of the team followed.

My love for Sidney Crosby knows no bounds (well, ok, maybe a few bounds....but not many). One day when I have hours upon hours on end to blabber away about him, I certainly will. But today I'm going to skip ahead to the matter at hand....the adventures of my little Sidney Penguin!

I am a faithful reader of The Sidney Crosby Show, which is run by the amazing Jodie (seriously, her recaps of games are amazing....she sees so much and doesn't even have the magic of Tivo to rewind!). During the summer slow time, she asked each of us to send in a picture of us with our Pens stuff and wanted us to represent all the places in the world we are located. I have no Pens stuff yet. But I have Sidney Penguin. So Sidney went on a Nashville adventure:

And here is the final, photoshopped product I sent to The Show:

This project was so fun to put together! There were difficulties, however.....I had a hard time finding a good spot to get Sidney next to the Batman building. And I didn't want people to see what I was doing ("who's the crazy lady holding up a stuffed penguin and taking pictures??"). I actually had a million ideas of other places to get pictures, but I felt Jodie would kill me if I sent an entire photo album to her! Soooooooo.....

I think I will continue Sidney's adventures here on my own blog! Who knows where Sidney will end up....you'll just have to stay tuned to find out :)
