skating by

I've never been a GOOD roller skater. I'm not even a good walker.

But, I bet skating burns a lot of calories. All that smashing of kneecaps and hauling my big 234 lb butt back up off of the floor. . . .

Kid wants me to take her to the school skating party tonight, and I must be on an upswing because I'm actually considering skating. In front of people. In public. I'll probably talk myself out of it but honestly, I will probably be bored if I don't skate. I don't know these people for the most part. Why not embarass myself?

So much for my nice fireside knitting.
