roller girls...



SO, my girls have begun to have a new found love for roller skating.  this makes me happy because i too was a roller girl growing up.  every friday night found me hanging out at the great skate with my friends, totally tearing up the floor.  i was good.  really.  the great skate brought me many firsts as a child.  my first birthday party, first hanging out sans parents, first dance with a boy and my first time ever seeing a picture of jon bon jovi and wondering why on earth my friends thought he was cute.  i personally thought he looked like a girl.  whatever.  that was the 80's.  (which isn't so far from now if you think about it.  justin bieber?)

i have since been roller skating with my girls and i'm glad  that after a decade of non-skating it's refreshing to know it's just like riding a bike.  although i have taken some rather hurtful falls that i haven't nearly recovered from as quickly as i remember but i will take my girls roller skating any day of the week.  it rocks.
