96/365 - these are mine. All mine.

April 6, 2011

So, I totally own this. Bought it from Sam's Club Saturday with Adrienne. One of the happiest days/purchases of my life! It's like a effin' GALLON of jelly beans! Are you kidding me?!

Yesssss.....score.

Weakness is leaving my body? I'm okay with it.

OK, so I'm behind. The last picture I posted was for April 1st (last Friday). I'm pretty sure I have a picture for everyday, but to be honest, Roller Derby has been taking up a good majority of my time.

Saturday, I got up early and me and Adrienne spent the day together, going to Greenville, having lunch at this awesome little Indian restaurant and shopping at various malls between Greenville and home. ;) Haha, it was an awesome day. We went to this rad little art festival, but alas, I had left my camera in the car! I was livid and depressed all at the same time. I need to import some photos.

Sunday Todd and I went to Tryon Palace (free on the first Sunday of the month) and took some fun photos. :) Had a lovely day with my hubby.

Monday... practice. Todd took photos. ;)

Tuesday... practice. Took some photos of Adrienne's bruised knee-caps.

Wednesday (today)... oh my god, I'm so tired. And I have a shitload of photos to catch up on tonight! No practice tonight, which sucks, but my body definitely needs a day to recover. I've just been going, going, going non-stop.. and the house is suffering, the laundry is suffering, and Todd is suffering because I haven't cooked a real dinner in... forever?

Also.. I'm still trying to think of my perfect derby name. Let's see. I'm short, but I'm fairly agile, although I haven't gotten my speed back up yet. But I'm not terribly slow. I love birds. I love the color blue. I'm an artist, painter, photographer.
My favorite name was The Mad Splatter (the Mad Hatter, duh. Splatter = painting and also splatter horror films), but it's taken.

K. Well. I'm pooped. Later.

95/365 - Adrienne's bruised knees :-P

Hehe. I've got some pretty good bruises on various parts of my body, but it's kind of hard to take pictures of my own bruises. Ah well.

I am so in love with this!

94/365 - taking hits & taking names! ;)

Todd actually took this photo, but it's going to be my daily photo anyway just because it's so awesome!

Thanks. ;)

He's doing fine, by the way.

89-91/365 - wheels of glory

March 30, 2011

My gear came in today. So naturally, I had to put it all on. For no reason at all. :) I look absolutely retarded in this picture basically because I didn't know what to do and I was mostly just goofy happy to have my own real gear. :)

My skates came today (but I forgot/didn't have time to take a picture of them*), and as Soon as I got off work I had to speed home, open my skate package, make sure they fit me and run back out the door to meet the carpool headed to Kinston for practice. Practice was awesome. Every week I feel like I'm getting loads better. The "coach" or ref leading practice flat out asked me if I was a strong skater and my answer wasn't no.

*Here is a picture of my skates,what they would've looked like fresh out the box because the next picture is going to be slightly altered:

Worked on my skates tonight. :)

When I ordered my skates, I ordered an extra set of wheels. I'd been warned that the wheels that came with the R3's were crappy and needed to be instantly replaced, and everyone recommended the Atom Poisons. They look pretty kick ass, even though I normally go for color, color, color. But hey. Solidarity.

I just love how much my life has changed in the past 90 days. 2011 is impressing me.
