I am in my last year of my twenties, divorced mama (successfully co-parenting with her daddy) to the brilliant three-year-old (someone remind me to update this description in 2009, would you?) Sophia, and a skater for my local rollerderby league

I have been a member of SheKnows since 2004 when I was pregnant with Sophia and have been amazed by the friendships and connections I have formed here. Cheesy? Yes. Also very, very true.

I parent, I work, I skate (turn left).

	I Like to Flirt With Danger Posted 04-25-2008 at 07:22 AM by memarq0 When your office has two doors (one leading to the hallway and the other to a main, traffic-heavy office), you really are living dangerously to fart stinkily. Not that I do this. I'm just sayin'. memarq0 Roller Girl for Life

Maybe I should just post pictures of bruises... Posted 04-24-2008 at 07:37 AM by memarq0 ...that would be plenty to keep my blog alive, right? Somebody's wheel hit my thigh, obviously: Just a standard fall during our bout against Hard Knox Rollergirls, but it's so funny-looking! (this is the right knee): Totally worth taking out some Gem City Rollergirls (this is my left knee on Monday):... Continue reading... memarq0 Roller Girl for Life

I could be freelancing!" and then I remember I have no energy for that. Not to mention the fact that the things I post to my blog are the types of things that you find in your linttrap = not really worth $$$. So I'll just be the first in the community to 'fess up. When people comment on my blog or rate it,... Continue reading... memarq0 Roller Girl for Life

A Remarkable Combination of Geriatric and Sweet Posted 02-02-2008 at 06:22 AM by memarq0 I have no idea how this routine started in our household, but Sophia helps me take my metamucil every day.

It's Not REAL Worms, You Know... Posted 01-28-2008 at 05:24 PM by memarq0 Updated 01-28-2008 at 05:27 PM by memarq0 Okay, so yuck. Sophia's got ringworm. Hold on, hold on, hold on. It's not like it's pinworm, where there are ACTUAL WORMS that can be seen by the naked by by the traumatizing viewing method of checking out the victim's...well, butthole at night under view of flashlight (I'm serious. Ask a doctor. Or Patricia Heaton, to whom this apparently happened, according to her critically-acclaimed bio Motherhood and Hollywood: How to Get a Job Like Mine). I mean,...
