MY DREAM COMES TRUE!...well one of them

As an entirely too involved, over-enthusiastic and tortured Buffalo Bills fan, I've only dreamed of being able to "professionally" write about them--college newspaper, Times Union editorials and blog rants don't really count. And now (as I try to control my excitement and breathe deeply because I'm in the Poughkeepsie Journal newsroom) I CAN! Thanks to my mother (jeez Mom, why are you so good?!) I stumbled across an open position at www.chicksinthehuddle.com. It started as a site devoted to the New Orleans Saints and is now in the process of expanding to include as many NFL teams as possible. It's comprised of solely female writers who share a love of football and chosen team.

Apparently the creator, referred to as "Nola Chick," was impressed by my qualifications and psycho-esque Bills clips...or maybe she's just desperate. Either way, I'm officially on board to contribute to the site--generally two times a week during the offseason and four times a week in season. I will be in charge of the Buffalo Bills section of the site and am told the girls already contributing (about 4-ish) have scored some pretty sweet interviews and attended star-studded events...well celebrity in the sense that we get excited about meeting professional football players so getting an invite to their birthday parties is enough to make our year.

I don't have too much information yet, but stay posted for updates! Also, if anybody has ideas for stories they'd like to see me write, please let me know! Hmm, since the only people that read this blog are my parents and Lisa and Mark, I might have to expand my readership for ideas. Daddy, expose the Cronmillers to my genius...and perhaps your Buffalonian pals? Let's go Buff-a-lo! =)

I'M SO SUPER DUPER EXTRA EXTRA I NEED TO CALM DOWN AND WRITE THIS ARTICLE EXCITED!!!
