I played for two teams for our last scrimmage of the season – the T-Birds and the Hawaiian Punchers. With the help of Sweet Hurt’s “magic tape” (Kinesio Tape) the knee held up and all was great – THANK YOU Sweet Hurt – if you happen to read this – I still owe you a [...]
About a thousand years ago I hyper-extended my knee in softball while running back to first base to avoid being thrown out by the pitcher. The meniscus cartilage was torn as was the ACL. I got a brace and stayed off it for a bit. Then I went to college where late-nights and a beer-drinking [...]
Biking home from pre-school yesterday I was sucking wind trying to ride up our big hill and was loosing ground to Marc and Harrison. When, out of nowhere, H turned back to look at me and yelled, “You can do it mommy!” Which is cute as hell even without the knowledge that he has never [...]
Sinnerfold and Obi Mom Kenobi at Speed Skate practice. Photos by Obi Dad Kenobi. Me: “Mommy has to go to skating practice.” Harrison: “Mommy goes super-fast!” – swings his hands back and forth quickly – “schzoom schzoom schzoom schzoom” “SuperFast!” Listening: Sandwitches
The last scrimmage of the spring season for Wreck-League was Sunday. My parents are in town so, they got to see it. I was really excited for them to see what all their years of supporting my athletic aspirations as a kid had turned into, 20 years later. We won, but, it’s really all about [...]
AHHHH! I HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME! And my knee stayed in place (right there in the center of my leg where it’s supposed to – imagine that!). With the help of some magic tape (not the Japanese kind) but, still just as magical. I was part of an amazing team of brand-newbies like me [...]
Oh yeah – I forgot that I have yet to reveal my skater name… After a wonderful evening with friends … wine, appetizers, wine, yummy dinner, wine … Kris came up with a list of names for me to try on. The top two of the list that weren’t already taken were “Strawberry Shorthate” & [...]
Had my first scrimmage last Sunday. I’m the big girl next to the hot little thing in black – her name is Spicy – and she’s awesome. I may be mistaken but, I think she has a 6 month old daughter. Uh – yeah. These chicks are A-MAZING! After seeing myself in white I now [...]
Besides the excruciating task of finding a new nanny, tons of great work for BlaseDesign and packing for our trip to California for the holidays I decided to do roller derby bootcamp last weekend – an entire weekend of skating, training, hitting, and scrimmaging (the first time ever for me and my other primer-friends). It [...]
After fourteen months of devoted service, our Elizabeth is leaving us. She is headed back to Dallas and we are incredibly sad to have to let her go. She has helped us raise Harrison and Finn for over a year. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her for as long as we have and [...]
