INJURED PRIDE

Well, where do I start? First we went to a pizza place to eat before the skating party and the pop tasted like dirt (that town has got some BAD water) then Mels was going to sprinkle pepper flakes on her pizza and the lid was unscrewed. Pepper flakes everywhere. I looked at her and said "I sure hope this is not a indication of what the day brings" Famous last words!!

We all got to the party and rushed right over to get our skates (1st mistake)

I should have known when I stood up and the arms immediately went out (2nd mistake)
I made it 1 lap, heart pounding, legs shaking and the fear had set in. They have a small kiddy rink in the back, so some of us went there, you know to get our feet under us. Well that worked for some but not all. Amber had her little boy that had never skated, and she wanted to take her skates off so she could help him. She asked me to hold his hands while she took off her skates ( I am sure she is counting that as one of her mistakes) and the rest is history.
Only a small amount of blood from the left elbow and water on one knee, and one totally crushed Pride. Yes the boy is OK. (At least physically) Nobody else was injured in what seemed like a 3 minute fall. At first i thought it was just my knee, then my elbow was hurting so I looked at it and low and behold there was blood on my jacket (not a lot).

So a lesson learned ROLLER SKATING IS NOT LIKE RIDING A BIKE!!

I will be OK most likely really sore tomorrow but OK

Oh and to top all of that I look up and who do I see but one of the guys from work. LOVELY

Amber I promise I will never skate around your son, and jepordize his life again.

Keep your feet on the ground!

Maybe pictures later I gotta go put ice on my knee
Happy Birthday Lexi!!!

add on: mels did good skating on the rink, but sitting at the table got her, right down between two benches and she didn't even have her skates on.

Roller Skating

How old do you have to be before your to old to roller skate?
That is the question of the day!!!

Well, we might have an answer, just depends on how sore our muscles are Monday morning. Because Mels Neice is having a roller skating birthday party Sunday afternoon. Please pray for me and anyone who is close by and happens to get caught up in my fall(s).

Mels and I, although we didn't know each other in our youth, both skated. When I say youth i mean a long, long time ago. Remember how old I am, and Mels is the same age. I haven't skated since I was about 13 or 14 and I am scared. And I'll say it again I AM SCARED. Not of skating, I'm scared of falling.
I want to skate and I thought it would be "just like riding a bike" until yesterday. That's when it all change for me. When Mels decides she needs to practice before we go to the rink. Cheater. That's so not fair. Anyway, she still has her own personal skates from her youth and puts them on and proceeds to skate around her house. There goes the "riding a bike therory". ( if i'd only had a camera). Not really she was alittle wobbly at first but, now she will have her feet under her while the rest of us (mainly me) won't. She did say It wasn't as easy as she thought. Great!!

So Sunday afternoon I will update the Skating experience, hopefully with a few photos, unless I spend the evening in the ER. Just kidding!

I wonder how many calories skating will burn up? Idon't think its enough.
