I wake up in the morning after allowing myself to sleep in. Usually I will set an alarm so I don't sleep too late and I can get a jump on work for the day. Working for yourself at home welcomes laziness and I try not to let myself fall into that trap. I made a promise to myself I wouldn't do any work while on this trip so I slept in. It's 11am and I know Tyler is going to be doing media pretty much all day. I don't want to just stay in the hotel but I am not sure what else I can do. There is an NHL Fan Fair at the convention center but that doesn't even start until 3.

The Blue Jackets and the NHL do have numerous amounts of activities for fans to partake in but I'm just not interested in doing these things by myself. They have a free skate. You can go to the media house but I imagine it's going to be crazy. I really don't have any other options than to go down to the lobby and people watch. I wasn't able to do that yesterday. Maybe I won't get ambushed today like I did yesterday. I might as well. I have nothing else to do. I take a shower, get dressed, and head down to the lobby.

The last time I came down here to people watch Jonathan Bernier decided to practically attack me with a hug. I wonder what excitement is going to happen this time around. I spot an open couch to sit on and start to make my way over to it. Every once in a while I see a player walk past me and sometimes the fans recognize them and sometimes they don't. Most of the players stop and sign autographs for those who ask, which is very nice of them. I see Tyler walking towards me but I don't say anything because I don't want to interrupt him. I know they're on a tight schedule. He's wearing a grey all star game hoodie with a dark gray button down shirt underneath. His beard neatly trimmed and his hair styled back. He's looking really good which is like saying the sky is blue. He always looks good. He must have spotted me because he smiles and waves to me as he walks by. I wave back then he disappears out of the hotel doors.

I'm getting something to drink when I hear some commotion and I turn around to see Bobby Ryan stopping for some fans who stopped him. I almost drop my iced tea when I see him. He's only a few feet from me. He's smiling as kids come up and ask for his autograph. I should go over there and say something. I don't have my jersey here, though, what would I possibly say. He's so nice though. He's taking pictures with people. I could at least get a picture with him. I don't budge. I just stand and stare. He's finishing up with the last fan. This is my chance. I just watch as he walks past me and out of the hotel doors. I suck. I just froze up. I take out my phone to text AnnMarie.

Amy : Bobby Ryan was just a few feet from me and I chickened out

AnnMarie : oh no

Amy : I just froze up

AnnMarie : I'm sure you'll have another opportunity

Amy : Yeah hopefully

After I people watch for a little while longer I hop on the shuttle to go to the Greater Columbus Convention Center where the Fan Fair as well as the draft will be. I'm not going to spend too much time at the fan fair because I plan on going back to the room and changing into a dress I bought just for the draft. It's black and tight and my ass looks amazing in it. It's too bad Tyler isn't going to see it. It's actually pretty sexy. I'll probably send him a picture.

The first thing I do when I get to the convention center I walk right over to the line of people who are waiting to take a picture with the Stanley Cup. As a hockey fan I have always wanted to see the cup up close and personal. Tyler's name is on that cup. He has lifted it over his head and kissed it and felt the triumph of victory. It feels amazing just to be in the same room with it. While I'm on line I read the information pamphlet to see if there is anything else I really want to do while I am here. There will be player Q&A's that you can watch. Maybe I'll get lucky and see Tyler's.
