Friday Confessions: Skate Edition

Good morning, Kitschies!  Can you believe it's Friday already?!  I sure can't.  Nate is feeling better and he's off to school today, but we'll see if he lasts all day.  He had a very low-grade fever this morning but he had a lot more energy and was a lot less whiny.  I just hope he doesn't share whatever it was with his brother.  Or me.  Or his Dad.

I'm linking up with Mamarazzi at *Dandelion Wishes* for Friday Confessions. 

I confess...

I have a new obsession.

I confess...

It's actually something good for me!

I confess...

It's roller derby.  If you've been following my blog for about the last month, that will be no surprise to you.

I confess...

I never thought I'd love roller derby.  I never thought I'd be one of *those* girls. 

I confess...

I was afraid to go to my first practice.

I wasn't afraid of not being able to skate - cuz I knew I could do *that*.

I was afraid that the girls there would be all "Oh...you're the *new* girl..." and give me a hard time, but it's been great.  All the girls are so helpful and willing to answer all my dumb noob questions.

I confess...

I got a little excited when I heard that practices go year-round.

I confess...

My new favorite movie is Whip It.  I love Ellen Page (who doesn't?!).  I recommend this movie, even if you don't like roller derby.

I confess...

I want this hoodie (but in different colors).

Awesome, right?

I confess...

I probably look like a derp out there on the track, all padded up and a bit wobbly.

But, you know what?  I don't care because I'm having FUN!

I confess...

I'm old enough to be a mom to some of the juniors (which is rather disheartening), but I don't care because I'm having fun.

I confess...

I love the tape I have on my skates.  It rocks.

I could go on and on...but I'll stop there. 


You KNOW you have something to confess!!  Link up HERE and bare your soul for the whole blogosphere to see!
