If you’re regular readers (hi, friends!) or you’ve poked around a bit, you probably know that I played roller derby for a while. In August, I stopped, with the intention of getting knocked up. This goal has been achieved. This August, if all goes according to plan, I’ll be birthing a future roller derby player, [...]

Not feeling Frisky (a post about Feelings)
Posted in Derby, My super fun activities, tagged beautiful babies, being awesome, derby girls, feelings, roller derby is glamorous on May 17, 2013 | 4 Comments »
This has been a hard week for me. On Monday, I found out I have gestational diabetes. It’s not that terrible, really, but bad news is not easily taken when you’re pregnant and hormonal. In my mind, I had this wonderful, if uncomfortable, summer all planned out that had included a lot of ice cream. [...]
Bonnie Thunders is the LeBron James of roller derby?
Posted in Derby, My super fun activities, tagged being awesome, derby girls, roller girls, wftda on May 15, 2013 | 15 Comments »
So, if Bonnie Thunders is the LeBron James of roller derby, who are you? I like to think of my skating self as the Luke Babbitt of roller derby. (If you are an NBA basketball fan, this will make sense to you. If not – he’s a bench player for the Blazers who gets made [...]
Roller derby popularity chart
Posted in Derby, My super fun activities, tagged being a little silly, derby girls, Roller derby on May 6, 2013 | 7 Comments »
Someone googled “roller derby popularity chart” to get here the other day. They were probably looking for some kind of information on how fast the sport is growing, blah blah blah, but that’s not what came to my mind when I saw that combination of words. Internet, I give you my roller derby popularity chart: [...]
Manatee Monday: Sunny day at the beach!
Posted in Manatees, My super fun activities, tagged beautiful babies, being awesome, Manatee Monday, Rose City Rollers, summer, sweatiness on May 6, 2013 | 2 Comments »
It was 84 degrees yesterday in Portland, Oregon. When that happens, Portlanders grab their dogs and congregate near bodies of water. I don’t have a dog, but I do have a manatee friend, so we headed down to the river for some sun. You probably can’t tell here, but I have a Blazers blanket [...]
April 2013 Frisky Power Rankings
Posted in Derby, My super fun activities on April 1, 2013 | 4 Comments »
Welcome once again to the Frisky Power Rankings, where I rank women’s flat track roller derby according to my whims/in-depth knowledge. Yes, I know it’s April Fool’s Day and all, but I really mean it. This month I watched about 20 minutes of a Wheels of Justice scrimmage and one Rose City Rollers home game. [...]

Manatee Monday: Taking a manatee to the zoo
Posted in Manatees, My super fun activities, tagged Manatee Monday, nature, Portland, shenanigans on March 4, 2013 | 3 Comments »
Ever since the baby elephant was born at the Oregon Zoo, we knew we had to take Manatee to go see her. Manatees and elephants are related, you know, so Manatee and Lily are practically cousins. We’re excited to go see a baby elephant! Of course, since we were there, we needed to see [...]
Manatee Monday: Babies
Posted in Manatees, My super fun activities, tagged beautiful babies, Manatee Monday, manatees, nature on February 25, 2013 | 6 Comments »
Just a few weeks ago, a manatee in Blue Springs gave birth to a little tiny (by comparison) manatee baby. LOOK AT THIS TINY BABY MANATEE. I love you, tiny manatee baby! Look at that wrinkly tail. Manatee moms are also known to adopt orphaned calves, because they’re nice like that. Like Georgia, who adopted [...]
