We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Happy shriftday!

K claims that she can teach any kid who can walk to also skate.

You know how coordinated I am, and I could ice skate pretty well. I learned the same way Sparky did, except that it never occurred to my father to give my mother a break. Ice skating is much easier than roller skating, and I learned on frozen lakes and rivers, which are softer to fall on than concrete or ice over concrete. My main trauma was that my parents wouldn't buy me hockey skates. I really missed ice skating when we moved south.

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, I was always better at ice skating than roller skating, at least until roller blades came along.

My parents always thought it was such a weird thing-- little Cuban-American girl from Miami so in love with ice skating, but it was my passion for years.

Happy Birthday Shrift.

I just can't get motivated today. Also, mailman tried to deliver a package as I was in the shower. I could have caught him if I was willing to run out int he snow in my PJs, but I'll just pick it up tomorrow.

I am still in my PJs.

FedEx is on my shitlist. First they agree to hold delivery until the 3rd. And returned the package to the shipper on the 2nd. AND I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS.

But I contacted the shipper and they'll retry. But still a mystery.

I've never been ice skating. Slipped around on frozen ponds in my sneakers up in the mountains, but that was it.

I need to vacuum and mop now. Or get dressed. I haven't because DUMdumDUM I was waiting for FedEx and they usually show up before noon, the asses.

I can't really remember learning to skate, but one of my coworkers is trying to get me to go skating at lunch. I haven't been on skates in 23 years! It's just like riding a bike, right?
