rollerskating is cool

luckily i have friends that are cool enough to still like rollerskating. so i'm planning on renting out the local rink the thursday before the wedding. we can have cake and pitchers of coke, play video games and skate. all ages are invited so the kids that come will love it too. hopefully nobody would get hurt or break anything. if i did, i'd just wrap the cast in vintage lace and walk down the aisle. i think people get too caught up in worrying about having their "day" be perfect. it is the unexpected imperfections that make you laugh at pictures, not the fact that your hair was perfectly in place.

it's finally here...roller derby

after waiting over a year to try out for the roller derby, i'm finally in town long enough to participate in the "fresh meat" intake. i have to admit a tweaked knee and bruised ego after my fourth practice when i tried out my first double knee slide. i expect to become familiar with the position above. i think my roller derby name will be "dixie dynamite." what do you think? i think it satisfies two attributes: my southern sensibilities and my "dynamite comes in small packages." photo credit: cig harvey
