Roller Derby Movie Night! There were derby-girl made brownies and a popcorn machine! Susie Bonebreaker made great cookies and we had a great time. We raised some money for the league and the many expenses we are incurring as we work our way toward non-profitness and toward building the league in general. I'm very proud of Ruby's hard work! Everything came out very nicely!

how is ruby? Ruby still loves her doggy door. Now that she has freedom that is only limited by a chain link fence I like to check on her... I recently found that her new hobby is sitting in a dirt hole! I know this is a favorite of many dogs... If I were a dog... I would probably do it too!    sleeping in the dirt makes a little dog so tired!  |

there is always too much to say I never have that problem where I have nothing to say. Usually, I have too much to say and can't decide where to start so I just don't write at all. After that, I have way too much to catch up on in my journal and I don't want to pretty much spam your friends list with info! I have pictures to share... life is so busy...  I might just go ahead and post my posts! |

i don't know how ready i am to talk to about this... here's the quick recap: - i was sick for almost 2 weeks - the house still isn't finished being painted - i was laid off at work +/- i turned 31 + my birthday party at work + my birthday cake at the Derby Benefit - not feeling good enough to skate +/-a cardinal has built her nest on our front porch + Jeff & Sandi visited + friends that are like family I feel a hundred years older after trying to paint the house, getting sick for almost 2 weeks, having a birthday and getting laid off all in two weeks. i haven't really been up to a lot of hanging out and i have been mostly reclusive, but i did get to see steve play at the PopMayhem fest... i was so happy to finally see Brittle Stars play.  Jeff and Sandi visited before I got sick. That was lots of fun!  There is no picture to express anything about me getting bumped out of a job so i give you this:  it sucks big time and i'm hoping and praying that something might work out and i can stay in the department. i turned 31 last Wednesday.  i was taken out to lunch at work and my bosses daughter picked a lovely hello kitty tote-bag out for my present. we stayed in that night because steve and i were still sick, but it was a nice day. the hello kitty cake is another story, but the ladies at work got me a lovely chocolate cake with chocolate covered strawberries on it! they really love me! the next night, dana and miriam took us out to dinner. i wish i had a picture for that! my mom came to stay with us on friday and we went to a rummage sale friday evening  saturday night was the GRR Benefit at the atlantic.. I didn't plan to stay all night, but it was so much fun and time just flew by! I didn't expect it at all, but Miriam arranged for them to have present me with a card and cake and miriam gave me a very sweet necklace.   all in all... besides losing my job... this might be one of the best birthdays yet! i think thats all i feel like talking about... love, 'leen ps. thanks to dana... i stole your pictures!

i wanna be cool like the cool girls! my cologenics profile You feel as if you have missed out on a great deal that life had to offer and you go about trying to make up for past failures. Naturally at times you get depressed and you try to compensate for your 'missed opportunities' by living your life to the full. This is what, perhaps, may be described as 'living with exaggerated intensity'. In this way you feel you can break the chains of the past and start again - and it could be that you are right. You are a fighter and always on the defensive. You always need to be sure that your position is safe and established. When you finally make a decision you will pursue it to the bitter end in spite of all opposition. You are a demanding egocentric and therefore quick to take offence. This attitude makes people feel somewhat inadequate when in your company and so it is no wonder that at times you feel alone and unwanted. You pretend that you are a carefree individual and that nothing really bothers you - that you are so self-sufficient that whatever problems beset you they simply flow off you as water flows off a ducks back. You are experiencing considerable stress, trying to conceal yourself from the rest of the world. In actual fact - deep down, you are not at all happy. You feel lonely and you need someone with whom you can 'Let your hair down' and share your hopes, dreams and high standards. You are imposing unnecessary self restraint on yourself. You would like to demonstrate the unique quality of your character to all and sundry. Whatever you have tried to do seems to have gone wrong and you are now quite convinced that there is little point of formulating new objectives and it is this belief that has resulted in the stress and anxiety. You would like to be able to communicate with other people who think as you do. At this time there seems to be no-one on the horizon nor is there any prospect of meeting anyone in the immediate future. But it must be said that you are really a 'trier' and indications are that you will, as indeed you have in the past, 'bounce back'. try it for yourself here: http://www.paulgoldinresearch.com/c Tags: meme Current Mood: busy |

Saturday Busyness Saturday was really nice. Steve and I went out lunch at Las Margaritas and then we picked up Miriam for a trip to the skate shop. We picked up a skate tool for me and bearings for Steve's skateboard. Then we looked around town for wristguards for Miriam... we never did find any. Miriam treated "us" to d'lites low carb/sugar "ice cream". It was really delicious! Miriam and I dropped Steve off at home and headed to target so I could do a return. We browsed around the store and ended up going over to petsmart for petfoods and called it a day! Steve and I had frozen pizza for dinner and watched some TV. Life is pretty darn good.

Rolling 4 Steve and I met up with Leah (Naja Nubiae)and we practiced together for a little while. She helped me with swizzles and I had a great time. We got to chat a little bit which is difficult to do when all the girls are together. I really like having one on one time with different girls. This was my fourth day on skates and I was sore and tired, but I wanted to put on skates and try. I was afraid if I didn't get on skates Friday, that I would start to fear getting back on... just because once I take a break... I find it too easy to keep "breaking" far too long! I was having a hard time feeling confident about picking up my feet, but I kept working on swizzles and plow stops... I went home a bit earlier than planned, but I put on my skates that day and worked on balance and swizzles and stops so I felt like I did something. Tags: roller derby Current Mood: excited

Rolling 3 Thursday was a lot better for practice. Steve and I went to skate at TB McPherson and he skateboarded while I practiced skating posture, swizzles and plow stops. I started getting tired and skated right into one of the tennis nets and while I hit my head and tailbone again my painful injury is a rope burn on my finger from when I got tangled in the net. I think this is kind of hilarious to me since it was so silly! I was making dumb mistakes because I was tired adn i got up and told Steve I wanted to go home... but I didn't! Well, I skated one more lap and remembered that the new episode of the office would be on soon and I suggested that we go home fo rpre-office showers and dinner. But I didn't give up because of the net entanglement! I can already tell that I'm starting to feel more confident on my skates. Tags: roller derby Current Mood: excited

Time to Roll!  This is a big deal for me. I've been working with the Gainesville Roller Rebels for about a month and a half now. I've met so many really great ladies and I do believe that Roller Derby is contagious. I know I have caught Derby Fever. My plan was never to skate, but Momma helped me get skates this weekend as an early birthday present. My friend Miriam (Stocky Balboa) helped me at the UF skating rink after work on Monday. I joined the girls out at Skate Station last night, but I was in different (indoor) wheels that I know were still really slick and I felt very unsteady... I did get out on the rink a little bit thanks to | |||||
