Bellybutton Contemplations

Physcis, you have bested me yet again.

2009-02-26T18:24:21Z

So Smart Ass and I are chubby folk. And we're looking to become unchubby. We decided that we'd get a treadmill and walk across various and sundry locations for kicks, and that maybe, we'd make a fun game of it. Sort of a "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" ...

It has been AGES!

2009-02-24T19:51:27Z

Well not ages, but long enough. I'm tired, I'm salty, I hardly have anything to write about, but I still feel the need to write something. I'm wondering if it might be time for me to change blogging devices. I have tried them all, pretty much. 'Ce...

Eureaka is not St. Louis aka First Night Adventures

2008-09-30T14:33:34Z

So last night was my very first night of Roller Derby! It started out with me getting so horribly lost that I was an hour late. I hate Map Quest directions. I don't know why I continue to use them. THey put all sorts of completely useless info in ...

ZOMG! I have a start date!

My ankles hurt...

2008-07-29T16:05:03Z

You wouldn't *think* that skating would kill your ankles but it really, really does. It's probably because speed skates, have no ankle support. Maybe that little tiny bit of ankle support in your average, garden variety mass market skate makes you...

Progress!

2008-07-23T15:37:28Z

Much progress has been made in my training! I can do some pretty tight turns on the skates, my balance is a ton better, and my calves and thighs are starting to gain some nice muscle. I'm pretty excited, since I ordered a bunch of clothes last wee...

I feel happy!!!

2008-07-16T16:54:47Z

So, it's technically day 3 of training. I didn't get to my balance exercises or the Pilates, yesterday but I did skate around my kitchen for a half hour, and I did my squats. Squats are already done for today, skating and Pilates to follow (most l...

Blood on the Asphalt

2008-07-15T15:00:31Z

Actually it's concrete, but you get the idea. For nigh on a year now, I have been considering Roller Derby. As an outlet for my competitive nature, as a means of continuous exercise, as a way to get out of the house but still have fun. After one o...

The Saga of the Furberries

2007-09-20T21:29:00Z

Sometime back in May Noggin and Nickelodeon began showing commercials for a stuffed animal called a "Furberry". They were apparently, stuffed bears, dogs, and cats, that rolled up into a giant fruit and smelled of the fruit they rolled into. They ...
