Rat City Rollergirls!!!!!

I have been dying to go to a Rat City Rollergirls bout for awhile now, so when the conversation came up between Megan, Eric W and me at work, I was more than happy to help organize a work party at the next bout!
We decided to sit in the Grave Danger cheering section as Molly (one of my co-workers) had been to a few bout's and she really liked the jammer for Grave Danger.
So, I told the crew to wear some red and black to support our cheering section, and Patsy did not disappoint!
We had 24 people in our group. Thanks for coming everyone!
Grave Danger beat the Derby Liberation Front 156 to 85. We were excited! Their jammer, ReanimatHER was awesome! By this time of the night, I was completely transfixed on all things derby - I love me some flat track!
Here's Grave Danger taking their victory lap and giving the DLF a "good game"
Megan, Myself and Eric W [aka: the Berginator]

Then the second bout started which was the Throttle Rockets and the Socket Wenches.
They both rocked some theatrics while the starting line up was being called out!
He was totally into the game - reasonably so!
This bout was much more physical and seemed to move more smoothly for some reason, maybe it's because I knew what I was watching by this point.
And the team I choose to cheer for, the Throttle Rockets beat the Sockit Wenches 116 to 76.
And then they took their victory lap :)
We had a great time - and if there's any where in Seattle you could feel comfortable wearing fishnet pantyhose it would be here at the Rat City Derby... so Megan and I did...
We Rocked it :)

And I am officially a Derby fan... Can't wait for their next bout!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
