Crafts Writing Sports General http://tonigirl.blogdrive.com/archive/148.html Mon, 25 Feb 2008 17:25:50 GMT I am moving over to blogger. Here's my new space!LINK ME!!!! http://tonigirl.blogdrive.com/comments?id=148 http://tonigirl.blogdrive.com/archive/147.html Tue, 19 Feb 2008 23:44:44 GMT So it turns out that Lilly's knee is way worse than we thought. It's a torn PCL. Ugh. I cried when I heard. It breaks my heart. This girl is the essence of derby badassness. ( I know it's not really a word) Keeping my fingers crossed that she'll be back next season stronger and harder than ever. Until then, I am going to sit down and give her another knittng lesson. http://tonigirl.blogdrive.com/comments?id=147 http://tonigirl.blogdrive.com/archive/146.html Tue, 19 Feb 2008 11:28:24 GMT I saw one of the finished products from this book, (via my publisher) and it looks so kick ass! I'm totally going to pre-order! Rubbish! Reuse Your Refuse http://tonigirl.blogdrive.com/comments?id=146 http://tonigirl.blogdrive.com/archive/145.html Mon, 18 Feb 2008 18:03:28 GMT So now that I'm not knitting for a book anymore, I get to knit for pure fun again! Whee! I started by casting on for those Terminator arm warmers I fell in love with. I'm using Vickie Howell's Rock yarn. Gwen and Joan are the colors! I'm also eyeballing the other patterns I want to do. I am working on a super secret pattern for my friend Callies b-day. So no pics of that until next week! In the meantime, I want to take up some stitching, just so I can make this: It's from the book, "Not your Momma's Stitching" Super cute stuff in there. I'm also DYING to make some of the things...

Quick! Cancel schools! Get up early! SNOWSNOWSNOWSNOW!!! Um. Yea. We had a little less than half an inch. In other news... did anyone see Terminator last night? Summer Glau and her super awesome arm warmers? MUST MAKE.... Here's the best picture that I could find. There don't seem to be any screen caps from last night and a google image search only got me what looks like a fan pic. You can't really see the gloves in it. I saved the episode on my dvr though, so I can study it and make...

Our first bout as a WFTDA team against another WFTDA team. We were pumped, and ready to win. Then, the night before, ticket sales started spiking. And I mean, they were just pouring in on line. We sold out at the coffee shop, and we started freaking out a bit. Was this actually going to be a sell out? Um. Yea. Total sell out. We actually had to turn people away. These pics are from before the game even started, and it got even more packed until after about halfway through the first period before they cut off sales. I couldn't believe it!...

I am sitting here drinking water, with the typical stomach twisting pre-bout nerves, about to engage in my "routine". Let me say something here. I am not a superstitious person by nature. But for some reason, when it comes to derby, I really am! Which means tonight I have to: Watch the 300. That movie really pumps me up for derby. The scene the main guy is standing there with his shield, someone charges him and he doesn't move... it's the ultimate block! Chip the toenail paint on my big toe. Go to the store and buy a cool sticker for my helmet. I got a new one,...

I start seeing the pieces when I close my eyes at night... http://tonigirl.blogdrive.com/comments?id=141 http://tonigirl.blogdrive.com/archive/140.html Tue, 05 Feb 2008 19:05:19 GMT I'm giving up dairy for Lent. Which means no CHEESE! I am a cheese addict. Ugh. Longest 40 days ever ahead. I'm going to drink a big ass glass of milk tonight before bed. http://tonigirl.blogdrive.com/comments?id=140 http://tonigirl.blogdrive.com/archive/139.html Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:24:50 GMT All week long we've been hearing that Thurday night would be the worst snow of the year. Freezing rain, the 7" of snow, yada yada yada. During practice last night I was dreading what I would find when I walked out of the rink at 9pm. I pictured having to dig my jeep out, sliding home, etc. Dan and I worked our butts off all week at the shop, pushing lunches, catering, etc, to bring in extra money since we were convinced that no one would come in on Friday. I knew, during practice, that something was happening outside when we were skating. When it gets ready to snow, or the temp drops a... (more) http://tonigirl.blogdrive.com/comments?id=139
