Chris+Aftin: November 2007
http://chrisandaftin.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2007. Okay, We're Here! After months of reading all of my friends and families Blogs, I figured we better get on here and do some catch up. So this will be the longest one I promise. With Chris spending alot. Of his time at hockey practice and with my parents recent (August) move to the cities. I am sure I'll have some extra time on my hands. Going great out here in Pierre, SD. Unfortunately. Or ski session. With the one night we took advantage of the beautiful. Debated on the most...

Hi, I'm Meg.: It's hot. And derby.
http://lucypants.blogspot.com/2011/07/its-hot-and-derby.html
Hi, I'm Meg. Wednesday, July 20, 2011. It's hot. And derby. Joel and I are enjoying the most spectacularly hot week EVER (heat index supposed to be at 122 F today, I think? Dew points nearing the mid-80s? In footloose and fancy-free fashion - because my parents have the kids! I'm guessing my folks are going crazy, because it's not much cooler in Chicago, and a mega heat wave is just as bad as below-zero when it comes to kids getting stir-crazy from being inside all day. But me? Last night I had a bootcam...

Hi, I'm Meg.: One month 'til the season starts!
http://lucypants.blogspot.com/2012/08/one-month-til-season-starts.html
Hi, I'm Meg. Wednesday, August 08, 2012. One month 'til the season starts! One month from tonight is the first game of the Minnesota RollerGirls' Season 9. Can't believe it's only a month out - I am getting VERY excited for the start of home season. I was so nervous and frightened and intimidated at the start of last season, and I think it might be a different story this year. But I can't wait to find out. Be plagued by penalties. So it would seem to follow that we should practice NOT committing pena...

Hi, I'm Meg.: Monday afternoon
http://lucypants.blogspot.com/2012/08/monday-afternoon.html
Hi, I'm Meg. Monday, August 13, 2012. Today is sort of my favorite kind of day. Kids had swimming in the morning, then swung by a dear friend's house with ice cream to celebrate her GETTING DRAFTED TO MNRG! It's not too hot, the kids and I ate a decent lunch, and now they are playing together incredibly nicely. Enough to make a mama want to grab a glass of wine and a Sudoku and do some happy deep-breathing. At the end of practice I found out that many of my friends did, indeed, get drafted - HOORAY!

Hi, I'm Meg.: September 2012
http://lucypants.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Hi, I'm Meg. Wednesday, September 19, 2012. Autumn of my discontent. Things have taken a strange turn for me lately. I traveled with the All-Stars out to the Pacific Northwest during the last weekend of August. Part of me wants to add more detail about the trip, because it was . eventful . but I'll cut to the end for now. Now, it's only been 3 weeks. Six weeks will take me up to the next bout, on October 6. I'm not hopeful about skating then. It's absolutely killing me. So it's not like I don't have anyt...

Hi, I'm Meg.: Some successes, and hope
http://lucypants.blogspot.com/2012/08/some-successes-and-hope.html
Hi, I'm Meg. Friday, August 10, 2012. Some successes, and hope. Had another good practice last night. We added a new element to our off-skates warmup: 4 sets of 30-to-45-second hand stands, up against a wall. I've been doing handstands up against a wall (and sans. Most importantly, last night was the last practice for the "boot camp" that starts with Minnesota RollerGirls tryouts in June (or was it May this year? The draft is on Sunday.

Hi, I'm Meg.: Minutiae
http://lucypants.blogspot.com/2013/01/minutiae.html
Hi, I'm Meg. Saturday, January 05, 2013. Practice Thursday night in the concourse was really great. I love concourse practices - possibly because what I really love is racing and skating fast and endurance, and possibly I shouldn't be playing a full-contact sport at all. But I digress.

Hi, I'm Meg.: Limboland

Hi, I'm Meg. Thursday, January 10, 2013. Well, it seems as though the mystery-illness I thought I might be coming down with was instead just a whopper of a migraine. 600 mg ibuprofen and 2 hours later, though, and I'm practically good as new. Joel has passed his skills testing and is officially a member of Minnesota Men's Roller Derby! Tomorrow's Friday, payday, thank goodness - I forgot to budget our grocery money properly and it's been Pantry Roulette (my favorite game! 8:40 PM, January 17, 2013. Wife-...

Hi, I'm Meg.: Snow globes and nostalgia
http://lucypants.blogspot.com/2013/01/snow-globes-and-nostalgia.html
Hi, I'm Meg. Thursday, January 03, 2013. Snow globes and nostalgia. I like it when people remind me to look outside when it's snowing - because it does look like a snow globe out there. I don't generally care for winter, but it sure is beautiful. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Wife-Mom-Dancer-Teacher-CommunityNewspaperEditor-RollerDerbyAthlete-Christian.
