I cleaned my car out today and found 2 packages of Cadbury Easter Eggs (I bought them on sale and hid them in the glove box and forgot about them!) AND 33 bucks!
It pays to clean out the ol’ wagon.

When I was 21 I had a fast paced and very stressful job. I remember telling a friend that I felt like I was 35. I was not enjoying life very much at the time, all I did was work.
I’m 33, I sit on two boards, corral 2 young kids to their activities, run a business with the Him and play roller derby in my spare time. I’m busier than I ever was and I feel like I’m 21.
Funny how it all works sometimes. But then I am having the time of my life.
I now think it’s hilarious I ever thought or felt like that. Oh younger me, if you only knew.

The bout went well. We lost but were happy with our performance. I jammed the second half and did way better than my previous attempt at a bout in February (I can’t believe it’s been that long since we played- anyhoo) and I got a major. My first major for back blocking. I dunno why but the penalty box makes me nervous because I’m never sure where I’m suppose to re-enter, even if I’ve been show where and how. It’s one of those things that gets all tangled up in my head.
The highlight for me was taking out a huge ex-hockey player. We were warned about her and how she hits hard and takes people out. I got so tired of her blocking/goating/hitting me while jamming that I said to hell with scoring points and started to hit her back (I was going nowhere with her in front of me and bumping me back, etc.). I took her out and then finally I was able to go through the pack.
I also tried a star pass but the pivot was brand spanking new and didn’t know what I was trying to attempt, oh well, maybe next time.
Things we came away with from this game: we need to learn to hit harder with our own players at practice and we need to figure out to get in front and sit on people so our jammer can catch up once she breaks through.
Good times.

Slut” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “yes”. “Friendzone” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “no”.

Mantra for this weekend:
“Squeeze a tit, squeeze a tit, squeeze a tit, squeeze a tit.”
~With arms a flailing I’m getting through this pack; mostly illegally. Must remember to keep my arms tucked in and stop back blocking people.
