NSV - after 6 years, can you believe it?

I'm almost in tears as I write this. Everyone thinks... several years out, so what? My 6 year surgiversary is in 3 weeks.

So, a few weeks ago my director planned a pizza and skating party for our department. I thought, "What the heck? I'll try skating again for fun!"

Well, I sucked. LOL I fell on my butt bone, since I have a flat ass, but whatever. I loved it. I used to be a great skater when I was younger... and suddenly I realized I missed it. Sooooo...... to make a long story into an NSV (lol) I got a pair of awesome barely used hockey skates. got them sharpened, and am starting to skate again on my lunch hour starting tomorrow. I am thoroughly excited!

It's been about 20 years since I felt comfortable on skates - and I'm starting over again tomorrow. I'm excited. And scared.

Who says that NSVs are just for newbies anyway?

By the way, since I started my new job, all my pants are too big. Confirmed by my support group tonight. I'm shrinking again.

WOOT!! You go girl!! :D:D

Thank you, I will!  And I know I'll fall but you know what?  I'll get up again. :) 

Thanks for making me smile tonight Karen - that is a great NSV! (And NSVs are definitely not just for newbies!).

I think that it's fabulous that you are getting re-acquainted with an activity that you used to enjoy and were good at. Hey, what's a few bruises on your butt in your journey to being a whiz on a pair of flashing blades again?  Good for you for going after this - I think it's terrific!  Full speed ahead, girl!

Thanks so much, Deb - it's just such an accomplishment for me, as I am completely uncoordinated (I thought) but this is a true new beginning. After 6 years.  Thank you.

That is SO COOL! Congratulations!  So nice that you have something to encourage you along the way. 

Thank you Ann! I'll let you know if I break anything. LOL 

Outstanding!!! You go girl.

Tell me you`ll pick me up when I fall.

I'm afraid I would be the girl over hanging on the boards around the edge, so wouldn't be much good at picking you up.  But could maybe throw you a pillow to land on. lol
