Roller derby frustration - nothing new to see here
OK, I got this... I can do this. This is my 3rd year on a roller derby team and I'm still not getting rostered for games. Ahhhhhhh it's so frustrating! It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to work at all the bouts where, sometimes if I'm not busy working, I get to watch my team play. Like a spectator.

Acupuncture Kitty!
I finally went officially crazy - I took Clementine, my cat, to get acupuncture yesterday. Before I continue with how I got to that point of ridiculousness, I have to say that watching my tiny cat get so relaxed during and after acupuncture that she dozed off at the vet (that NEVER happens because she is usually way too stressed out at the vet) ( Read more... ) -

I'm good enough to hang with ladies who can really skate, but I'm much much suckier at derby than all those ladies. I have always been competitive, but not in a bad way. I'm competitive with ( Read more... ) -
Hoarding makes for great garage sales
Oh my goodness, I still have my san francisco library card. About 15 years ago I carefully filed it away with my free passes to the Red Vic and my Smart Alec's frequent buyer's card. I am the most organized person in the world! Or I'm a hoarder ( Read more... ) -
Kids and hooping
I taught hula hoop at a kids summer camp a couple of weeks ago and this was one of the awesome gifts I got:

I like food!
You know when you get a song stuck in your head and you sing it and no one thinks it's a real song? Well, I'm happy to report that the song that has been stuck in my head for months now IS a real song. A song I heard several times many many years ago. My sad excuse for a memory just couldn't remember who wrote the song until today.
