hurdy gurdy

We went rollerskating last night. It's been a year since I've been on skates and I was pretty wobbly for the first few laps. Thankfully DM and Baby G each let me hold their hand until I steadied myself enough to skate alone. Last time I skated, I slipped and landed on my tailbone. I think my bones remembered because even though I was mentally ready to "get back on the horse," my legs stiffened so much I had more trouble than usual whirling around the rink. This morning my thighs and ankles are showing their displeasure with aches and creaks. Perhaps next time won't be so cold a wade in the pool?

I also purchased a 2008 calendar yesterday. It's huge and it features old-school maps, one of my favorite things. I also got a 2008 planner featuring the work of Gil Elvgren. Scandal! Woot! Oh, and the best part? I scored them at Half Price Books.
