Last weekend i volunteered at Discovery Green's Earth Day Festival. I went with some Roller Derby ladies....and it was really fun. :)

yes...i finally decided to stick w/ "grrfeisty" for my skater name. it's who i am!

and my number? 60 inches. [my height!] hahaha

Hope y'all are having a lovely weekend!

p.s. did anyone else cry thursday night? goodbye steve carrell...you will be missed!!!

here's an awesome clip from 2 weeks ago.

voice crush + song crush

so last week's episode of glee was kind of.....yawnsville. but last night the warbler's sang one of my favorite songs! and you don't really hear keane on the radio...so it kinda felt personal.
haha sigh, the secret it out.


plus darren criss...way hotter than tom chaplin [lead singer of keane] ;)

and also :)

things i wear to work...h&m edition :)

i also got a new bag. ruh roh. shouldn't splurge :(
do not be fooled, i usually dress like this on weekends. :)

things i do for work

so i've been tweeting about this thing called a "taks video." the TAKS test is the benchmark test students take here in TX [although it's changing to STAAR next year]. i make "motivational" videos for the students...

 i mentioned attending league practice in a previous post...

i took a fall and almost landed on my bad knee, so i threw my hip down instead.

anyway, i checked my bruise today because it was pretty small the first night.

owies.

outdoor skating :)

the streets around my parents neighborhood are a lot smoother than mine :)

so i accompanied them on a walk earlier this week.

i practiced rotating between backwards and regular skate...ahhh it was great!

 

 

 oh hey feisty parents :)

after these photographs were taken i attended our regular rec league practice tuesday night and then league practice  [with the hardcore roller derby girls!] on wednesday. thank GOODNESS i practiced skating backwards...we did a really fast drill that involved the rotations. woo!

as previously mentioned, my sister came to a "crash course" this past saturday.

i'm glad she didn't get any photographs of me falling :) hahaha

black team befor scrimmaging.

look for the shortest girl....haha

 we played in smaller packs because there weren't enough girls from rec league or in full gear.

"crash course" was open to all who are interested in trying out.

jammer [star on helmet]. shortly after this photo was taken i cut the track [&ate it!]. boooo!

blocker. either running to help the jammer or trying to knock out the opposing jammer. can't recall...

i've never seen photos or video or me skating. i feel like all i am is a pile of pads. hahaha
