Blogging

I wish I was better at this.

I have been vair busy. I really want to pass my WFTDA minimum skills test. This mean's that not only am I going to derby practice three nights a week (unless we have a snow storm, more on this later), but I have also been trying to attend Speed Practice two nights a week as well. Speed practice deals more with technique, and well, speed. It kicks my ass and is a great work out. The good news is yesterday I did 23 laps in 5 minutes which is 3 more than required. And it was after we had already completed a 10 minute skate.

Since my last post the Foxz also had their first exhibition bout. I cannot wait to skate in a bout. It was so much fun. You can view some pictures here. Our first official Bout is scheduled for 3/29 at Skater's Edge in Appleton. There will be beer if that encourages any one to join us.

Fuck snow. And cold. And dry skin. And did I say snow. Seriously, it can stop at any time. We have had enough.

In other news, I am seeing a dietician on Wednesday. I will let you know how that goes. I really would like to lose some weight, and nothing I seem to do helps. Or something. The dietician/nutritionist I am seeing is familar with vegan diets, so I've got that going for me. I also have to have my cholesterol, glucose, and thyroid checked. All these damn tests make me feel old.

PS: Spell check isn't working and I am a horrible speller, so sorry.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

This is the beginning of my insanity. Some people like snow. They love snow. They like to do things in the snow such as ski, hike, snowmobile, etc. When it snows, I like to crawl in bed under my blankets and read a book.

Cosmo likes the snow. Which is odd, because he is always freezing. He comes in with all his hairs standing up looking all pathetic. He has a coat that I sometimes put on him. But I am not going to do it every time that he goes out to pee. He is very adorable. He runs around in the snow like a bunny and pounces on things I do not see. It's funny because he comes in with snow all over his nose. He also chases the snow that flies in front of him that lands and then he can't find it. I wish I had a video blog so I could show you all this. For now you will have to use your imagination.

I thought we were going to put our tree up tonight, but I don't believe that is happening. I am not going to push it, because really if it was up to me, we wouldn't have a tree. I suck, I know.
