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

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'.

Why it's hard to post

Posted 02-18-2008 at 06:03 PM by memarq0
Because it is.

I get excited when I post.

And honestly, a little vain. I reread my posts and I think, "Dang! I'm witty! 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,...

When It's Okay To Hit

Posted 01-27-2008 at 09:06 AM by memarq0
Oh, lordy, not what you think!

This is roller derby, people!

Tonight is a regularly-scheduled practice, but it's going to be a little different - we have guest skaters coming from a nearby league to practice/scrimmage with us. This will be our first time since our exhibition bout in December (which we sadly lost) practicing another team.

I'm excited, mostly because our league is pumped to begin fixing the things that caused us to lose last time, namely:...

Plus One (Minus One)

Posted 01-21-2008 at 05:00 PM by memarq0
There is currently a great deal of uproar in my family about one of my cousin's upcoming weddings. The initial trigger? They didn't want kids at their wedding (to be held next September).

My reaction to this news:
1. Wow, this is going to piss everyone in my family off!
2. If you don't want kids at your wedding, that's totally your choice, but you have to be prepared for:
a. Everyone in your family being pissed off.
b. A good deal of people choosing...

Shockingly, My Latest Obsession Has Nothing to Do With Rollerskates. Mostly.

At Christmas, I took the time to lovingly prepare (just for me; Sophia was with her dad and I stuck around my house by myself) some seriously good eats.

I've always enjoyed cooking and consider myself a good cook. However, I'm such a fan of the pasta+cheese+wine food group (it's the big orange section on the food pyramid, right?) that I often forsake fruits and veggies.

Also, when I do a big shopping trip once a week, veggies and fruits often go bad or get overripe...
