Whew

Feeling much better now. We have had an exciting few weeks and I have been very ill. Mono caused by EBV is the nastiest of illnesses. It would be OK if I had somehow picked up this virus in a fun, exciting way but I it was picked up at the hospital, which is in no way fun or exciting. I never thought I would get so sick from work. I did, it sucked and now I can finally eat and feel almost human enough to attempt to clean my house.

On a happier note, we went off to Philly to support the Mobtown Maulers against the Liberty Bells, the Maulers did not win but it was a great bout and they really worked hard. Our girls are so great and I am happy to support them. They are wonderful skaters and we seem to be doing well for our first two bouts!!! We will be there to watch them skate in Harrisburg, Go Maulers!!!!

Trying to go to Richmond on Sunday, hopefully it will work out, have to see if I am up for it.

That about it....

Ouch!!!!!!

OK, deadlines are today, I will probably need some Valium by the end of the day. I am playing the waiting game so I figure why not blog. Something I have not done much of lately.

I received my first rink rash on Monday!!!! This may sound strange but....I liked it, sure it hurt and is a bit ugly but now it makes it seem real. We had our first team scrimmages on Monday and I am so excited. I love the Mods and I am learning so much!!! Woo hoo!!

Pretty rink rash.....


I have started to exercise every night that we are not practicing and working on my endurance, strength and flexibility. That leaves little time these days between work, the beans school, practices, and trips over to the gym. The bean is really enjoying school and derby, she is on the National Science Bowl team, plus has auditioned for the school musical.

This weekend finds us in Philly supporting the Maulers!!!

Interesting...

Sigh, you know when you really want something and you are working hard to achieve it, but then there is always that person that try to keep you down or make you feel bad? When I quit dancing I was tired of the little games. I often wondered what made a person so insecure that they had to be such an ugly person. It is an ugly, screwed up way to treat people, especially people that you have to work with and see on a daily basis.

Ouch, do not piss me off you twit.

I have great friends and wonderful teammates, which is why I want to do derby. Thanks you for not making me feel bad, for including me in everything, for taking the time to work with me and for being great ladies!!!

I am a Mod (kind of)

Wooohooooo, I made it onto the Mobtown Mods mentoring team where the lovely ladies of the Mobtown Mods will refine and hone my derby skills. I am sooo excited, one of the girls that made team pick called to say she was sorry that I did not make a team, what, what?!?!?! Sorry, hell no I would rather be on a mentor team of a team that I really want to be on than a team with girls I do not really know!! Now I will be able to spend my time with the best, most outgoing, make-out queens of the derby world!!! Yay!!! Mobtown Mods, thanks for picking me for your mentoring team cause you ladies are the best!!!! Ohhh, and next draft pick me first!!!!

Excited

Well, I am sick, but very very very excited, last night were assessments and team drafts . I am really hoping that I am going to make it onto a team, the best part is even though I sick and the rink was freezing cold, I had a great time and lots of fun. It feels good to be around the girls, they are such great people with lots of enthusiasm. These are the people that I want to be around, each brings something different to the group but it is their differences that make them all very special and unique in their own way. I love that this is so different from dancing, the drive is there but it is supportive, something that I wish dancing could have been. I love it!!

Work has been hectic, lots of submissions that must be done by a quickly approaching deadline. I like this position quite a bit and feel like it is a good move.

Ummmm

The tree is still sparkly and twinkling, the house is clean and the new year is here. Happy New Year, 2007 has arrived. It arrived quietly for me this year, rain and fog kept me inside, Law and Order put me to sleep. Law and Order is my Ambien, puts me right out. I think while I was healing from the accident I would leave Law and Order on while doped up on morphine, percocets, sudafed (back when it was available over the counter) and some kind of muscle relaxant, somehow I started to associate the show as some kind of sleep aid. Now, it triggers sleep, which is much better that narcotics which make me anxious and itchy.

Speaking of Law and Order, it is on the television now, which means I should get some sleep....
