And I have the feeling that that something is me!
I haven't been very diligent in posting as I had once claimed to be planning. Instead, I fill my days with regular work, derby work, WFTDA work and the never ending quest to find a new pair of skates. I suppose if I tried, I would dedicate some time to jot down some witty observances about the world around me. But alas, I haven't been that dedicated.
In a side note, I am in the middle of planning our trip to the Clover Cup in early March. I plan on NSOing and working on getting certified. The current debate is driving 10 hours or flying. It's a hard call since I think driving would be fun.
Also, last night we went out with the girls for some drinks as it was Miss A's last night working at the bar. Not only was she in fine form, but during a conversation, I admitted that I am little queer. I enjoy looking at the ladies. This, in turn, makes RC uncomfortable as in he thinks I will one day switch teams and decide that being with a boy isn't in my life plan. But I don't think it would come to that. Instead, how can someone with eyes in their heads deny that some girls are just hot? Like good lord and slap your mama hot? Does that make you a little queer?

oh hai!!
long weekend of derby as I sat on my couch and watch the Declaration of Derby. Congrats Oly for winning Nationals. Please come to Lincoln and train my ass into a skater that is 1/4 as good as the worst skater on your league. I would still be kick ass. Like for real yo.
Went to practice tonight (oh and I went last Monday too but only for an hour since Rob had to work), One of our refs who is really experienced at skating loosened my trucks on my goodness!!! It was like heaven! I first started skating with my orthotics in but had to take them out almost immediately since my entire right leg began to hurt. But the loosening of the trucks made a difference. Because of this pain, I missed the catch the pack drill it hurt so bad to skate. I'm hoping that this easy fix will cure my problem of foot and ankle cramping. le sigh.....my feet aren't sore tonight so yay!
Another night of practice tomorrow and it will be a short one again since Rob has to work. Have I ever mentioned that late practices cause me to lose sleep? Last week after that Monday practice, I had trouble sleeping, then started to feel sick. I ended up staying home from work on Wednesday and Thursday since I felt yucky. Now I gave that same yuckiness to Rob although I think he is starting to feel better.
So, I decided that I really have to start pushing myself a lot harder. I almost wish that there was someone who would really ride me to do better. But only a little; not push me until I get all irritated. When we get home I sometimes complain about various ailments and Rob gets irritated with me. That's why I need a derby wife who will push me to do better. Any takers?

on track=new challenges
So we had the 2nd night of practice and i was only to attend for an hour before heading home. It was a long day since I worked from 9-5, went to a NCDG Board meeting immediately after work until about about 7:30. The rushed home, changed, spent a few minutes with Mini-me, ate some delicious baked cheese sandwiches, then off to practice only a few minutes late!
We did some basic skills tonight like crossovers around a cone, t-stops and turn stops. The crossovers were hard to do in a circle actually and I wished we could have done them on the track. The turn stops are a challenge as I have trouble turning not to mention that I am a big pussy when it comes to doing it since I have a fear of falling on my tail bone. But I definitely need to get over that and just do it.
I want to go skate on Thursday and work on turn stops and some agility basics. Le sigh. I also got my orthotics and want to put those inserts into my boots and see if that helps my cramping.
Our old coach showed up tonight after a lot of smack talk and just being a general asshole last season. He's really condescending and acts like you're beneath all acknowledgement if he doesn't like you. Guess how I know that? Hmmmmm...he acts the same way with Rob too. As if we are somehow below his notice or aren't worth the respect. All I have to say to that he can kiss my rock hard Fugitives...There is a reason why you weren't kept around jerk face and there is a reason why you aren't welcomed back this season either.
On a positive note, I drank 40 ounces of water today!! And ate both breakfast AND lunch. Woo hoo!

Posting=staying on track
I wonder if posting more would keep me honest about what I am doing. Hmm...considering that no one reads this blog, it may not but I suppose I just have to try it and see.
Our first new skater practice was last night and I think it went well. My feet cramp horribly. Like numb feet in my skates numb so I am going to buy some inserts that Midlife Crashes from ORG recommends. Of course she uses them for super high arches but I'm hoping a little more support in my skates will help. I hate to be the girl that has to stop to shake out her feet and get the cramping to stop. Sylvia Bullet also suggested upping my potassium intake and drinking more water. So I ate a banana and plan on drinking more water. And maybe eating another banana later.
Anyway, I plan on working on my endurance and maybe running on off days. I want to try spinning too but have to figure out the whole Y membership thing. Right now, Rob and I are trying to pay stuff off and save money for a house. Things would go much faster if I could score a PT job. If only derby paid....I'd have tons of billable hours !

Fleas...
Lucy has them and I don't want them in the house. Suggestions?
Also, Jakki and I are going skating tonight. Have I mentioned how nervous I am to be hit? Yikes...but I am a big brave dog!

uuummmm.....
so, despite all of my claims otherwise, I haven't forgotten to blog with my promised frequency. Instead, I play Papaya Farm and search for a cheap pair of skates on my regular skate sites. Remember when I used to write funny blog posts about my shenanigans?

Keeping me honest....
So I have decided that when I remember, I will blog about my quest to actually be teamed and skate next season. In order to do that, I need to start now on my fitness level and endurance.
I've been using Lose It! on my ipod as a way to track my calories and exercise. Can I tell you that this app has faith that users will never eat something like a delicious raspberry zinger? Seriously. No Hostess products are listed anywhere. So overall I do ok but there are some days, like when I hit the Chipotle for lunch, where I intake enough calories for a long time in one sitting. Another issue I have is that I think I lose inches but not weight. Does that make sense? Could it be that I am all muscle? Probably not but you can tell that my body shape has changed since I started my half-assed run/walk program. My belly isn't so sticky outie and the comadres seem smaller. But that could just be me being hopeful.
I've increased my water intake from almost zero to about 50oz. Well yesterday anyway. WTF with the whole take your weight and devide by 2 to get how many ounces of water to drink everyday? Who thought that up? I swear you can hear water sloshing around my belly as I walk like a drunk but using only sober liquids. Maybe if I pretend like I am binge drinking it seem funner and I will get motivated. Although come to think of it, I'm not a very good binge drinker either. And while I refuse to tell you my weight (although I did lose 6 pounds since May), that's ALOT of f-ing water.
