In Love: Derby

I had my first derby bout a few weeks ago. I was nervous the entire day, and was certain I was going to throw up or pass out. Luckily, I had awesome fans to support me. Thank you.

I have been skating since September, and I have fallen in love with the sport. Not only does it work and challenge me physically, but derby requires a lot of mental toughness. It's easy to get intimidated, I mean… these chicks look badass. Fortunately, I have been welcomed into a community of kickass women who are motivating and inspirational. I am constantly being reminded that while I have teammates whom I look up to, there are others who look up to me. For example, while at the game, a little girl came over and asked me for my autograph. SERIOUSLY?! How adorable! I signed the program:

Peanut Brutal, #24

What a feeling!

Putting on ripped nylons, tiny booty shorts, pads and a helmet is awesome. Where else can you do that? I feel sexy and fierce. Our next game: April 29th. Bring it on.

ICKY SICK

No work today. My throat hurts, I have an annoying cough, and my head feels like it's going to explode.

Regardless of how old I get, I still want my mom when I am sick. She's a 6 hour drive away, so luckily I have Noah. It's not the same, but he force feeds me vitamins and makes me cup after cup of tea. Everyone wants to be cared for when they're sick.

It reminds me of the scene from Sex and The City. Right now, all I am wanting is cough syrup blended with orange soda and ice.

Classes start tomorrow… let's hope I feel well enough to sit though 6 hours of class. Ugh…...
