The Weekend that won't be...

I'll be working all weekend. Yup. What a drag. Here's what I would have been doing:

--grocery shopping
--digging a hole for the (still) live Xmas tree to plant it
--digging a bed for Kidlet's veggie seeds with the tot
--baking bread
--schoolwork
--chatting with Hubby (how I miss this)
--pancaking
--photographing

Here's what I'll be doing:

--sitting at work, being the flunky during an upgrade
--While I'm waiting for everything to be made ready for my running about, maybe I can fix my sock knitting that went awry, right before I was going to turn the heel. What is my freakin' problem? It looks like I dropped a stitch on the end of one of the needles, yet all the stitches are there. I have an easier time with my lace knitting...but I digress.
--umm, maybe I can skateycake it around the building while I'm upgrading users.

I skateycaked through the parking lot this morning in my new skatey shoes. I wish I had a picture to show for it, but it will have to wait. Maybe I'll have some time this weekend to stare at my shoes and take artsy photos. Right.

I can probably safely bet you will have a more scintillating weekend than I...enjoy!

I'm not dead yet...

and I haven't broken any bones on this skateboard thing. Sure, I've only gained the courage to ride for about 15 minutes when all the neighbors were inside, with their blinds drawn so I couldn't see the snickering. I feel like such a goober on the board, but you know what? It's buckets of fun. Oh yes. I feel very brittle and fragile when I'm gliding along but it still feels good. Lately, I've been thinking about when I was young and would hear adults complaining about pain in (insert body part here). I thought how odd it must be to have a body that hurt, even if you had done nothing to hurt it (falling off a skateboard, crashing a bike). I would have a brief moment of gratefulness that my body was supple and strong, strap on my skates and go. I know falling is going to be inevitable and I'm trying to get over the fear. I've never learned to fall properly and I'll be sure to have some bony body part or hand out trying to break my fall. I'm hoping that my body doesn't complain too much. I'm hoping I'll get to feel a little bit more supple and strong again.

Just call me Skateycakes
