Ice Skating

My friend, Bocky Squawk, called me last night and asked me to meet her over at the ice skating rink. I guess they wouldn't let her little girl in unless her mom skated with her. Well, that wasn't going to happen since Bocky Squawk has two babies to take care of. I went over to the rink and skated with her little girl and it was a blast. I thought I was going to break my neck as I got on the ice but I actually had a ton of fun and surprisingly did pretty well. I didn't even have any crazy moments where I was trying to get my balance or anything. No near falls or screams! I started to cruise around pretty good and actually want to go back again soon. I guess my roller blading days set me up to be an okay ice skater. I am not saying that I am going pro anytime soon... but at least I wasn't a total freak out there about to crack my tailbone like I see many people at the rinks in NYC doing. Hmmmmm.......

so you know you were the lifesaver of the day and you ended up having a blast! ;) so we can go again sometime soon, and find some poor soul to watch the 2 babies so i can skate as well, but if i run into you and we both fall, just remember how much you love me!;)

Yes...I actually want to go again soon...before I lose my rythym... Ha! Dont get mad if I accidently slice a limb off as I skate away and leave you on the ice scrambling to get up.... Ha!
