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).
Wheels I can't stop talking about roller derby, it's like a disease!

...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):...

When It's Okay To Hit

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:...

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...
