Time for the couples skate? Cool!
(Pssst... for more musical musings, check out Soccer Mom in Denial.
You'll be glad you did!)
I have a new piece of workout equipment at my disposal -- roller skates. That's right.
Roller skates.
And not those new-fangled, fancy pants inline jobs either.
Mine are four-on-the-floor, old school quads, baby. Just right for a chick like me.
Haven't skated in years. But I always dug it. A lot. And was pretty good, if I do say so myself. Not much for the backwards stuff or anything really fancy. But I could zip around the rink with ease and lead a damn fine skate conga line. Wheeeee!
The days of afterschool skating parties and all night skates are gone -- even my childhood rink, the unfortunately yet fabulously names Gay Blades, is but a memory.
But I'm hoping to capture some of that youthful vigor and concept of exercise-is-fun when I lace up my skates and roll on down the road. Can't hurt to try -- unless I wipe out. So keep your fingers crossed.
And enjoy this little ditty, also from my youth. Roll on, y'all.

Are you venturing out sans helmet and pads? I might consider strapping pillows to my posterior.
Brand New Key. Wow! Now, that song conjures up some major league childhood memories. For one, I thought it was really about roller skating.
Squeeeee! I pink puffy friggin HEART this song!!!!!
Rupe wonders why he hears the Xanadu soundtrack wafting in the air around him .....
Ha! I love this song, it makes me want to slap on my old skool skates and tie the rainbow laces in double bows!
All skate - now reverse! You ARE going to let me buy you a drink when you're here aren't you?
Holy Crap - I haven't heard that song in a million years! I love rollar skating! I have a new pair of 4 wheels - which are awesome. I never could figure out rollar blade. My problem - no great places to skate here in Denver - land of perpetual road construction.... sigh.
Where will you go?
Oh, TOTAL BLAST from my past!!! I LOVE this song and forgot about it. YAY!!!
Thank you, thank you, Jane!
Love it love it LOVE IT!!!!! One of my bestest friends from college was a serious roller-skater. I think I may have to find a rink to drag her to.
I'm afraid of roller skating and girls' night this Friday is at a roller skating rink. The last time I went in middle school I left with a broken wrist! Can you say clutz? Maybe you can go and pretend you're me???
