Rollergirl
Yesterday was a cold, rainy day. CJ started to get bored so I decided to take him rollerskating at the local rink. Not sure if it the midwest but I grew up going to school roller skating parties (remeber the slow skate /shoot the duck) and bday parties at roller rinks. Not to brag- but I pretty much rock at roller skating. So I was pretty excited to teach my son how to shoot the duck and land on the star to win the icy coke. Get there -strobe lights on (check)- pre teen crowd (check)- smelly rental skates (check)- pop tunes (check) -no Thriller but Rhianna and Boyzone and Chris Brown-icy coke machine/video games (check). CJ did pretty well -fell a few times but had fun and was even able to let go at the end. I left him holding the wall a few times so I could skate (yes I did backwards, crossovers, spins, and even showed those Brit tweens how to shoot the duck). Those Brits can't skate at all. (seriously no Michelle Kwan's at that rink) Did like the fact no liabilty forms needed to be signed to skate and we did get an icy coke. CJ did say (okay I'm bragging)- "Mom your the best skater I have ever seen." Now I need to find by sasoon jeans, benetton rugby, perm, retainer, and I will be set to claim my tween rollergirl title.

this just made my day. i'm almost positive my ensemble would've included two coca-cola shirts and two different colored socks. and maybe i'd even throw in two swatches in there if i knew a special boy would be there.
so much fun!
That is too funny. I grew up in small-town Ohio, so the roller rink was truly the only hangout place. I'm not sure I could ever go in one again though because of my memories of skeezy older men hanging around there. Kudos to you for still being limber enough to impress CJ!!
