elaina, remember this!

hufflepump up the jams!

so duh!

amber and i went to bevmo and we took pictures with these funny sodas.  so duhs!

anyway, wow it's been a long time.  i only think of things to write when i'm alone in the car and that's the worst time to start writing things down on the internet.

"the weather is here, wish you were beautiful" just came on my pandora.  forget you, jimmy buffett!

'ok, so what's been going on?' you might be asking yourself.  i'll tell ya all about it.

my birthday happened.
i started cutting my own hair.
i joined a lady gym.
i bought my roller derby gear.


i'm 29 now everybody!  how crazy is that?  not as crazy as the fact that i will be 30 next year.  exciting times.  i did birthday celebrations in yosemite and also disneyland.

birthday cake in yosemite.  kristin and i have the same birthday. and the same job.

disneyland. i didn't want to wear a button so i had to wear a lot of them. also my sister edited this picture and she loves me with hearts.

i'm cutting my own hair now and i have no regrets.  i have bangs straight across.  i used to think bangs were crazy.  and then i realized bangs aren't crazy... I AM.  so now i have bangs and a better grasp of my own level of sanity.  "you got bangs on your face, you big disgrace, we will, we will, ROCK YOU!"

i joined curves b/c i'm trying not to die at the roller derby.  curves is ladies only... so i don't know how i got in. HAHAHA.  because i'm a woman but not a lady, get it?  jokes!  but seriously, it's no boys allowed but i don't really care about that.  because dudes can pay money to look at my bum at the gym or they can wait outside and do it for free.  not that i'm letting them look at my bum for free.  uhhhmm, why is this awkward all of the sudden?  what i'm saying is, i don't care about the dudes being there or not being there.  what i like about curves is that it is circuit training so i know what i'm in for and i know how long it will take and i can give myself a high five when it's all done.  this week i lost 3 pounds but i don't really care about that either.  what i care about is that my calves are like BAM WE'RE HERE FOR LIFE.  i've been doing a lot of bike riding and leg workouts.  anyway my calves are ready for action.

i bought my derby gear.  derby gear consists of quad skates and a million pounds of pads, for which i am very grateful.  i'm also super in love with my helmet.  and my mouth guard.  and the fact that i get to wear ridiculous socks.  that's like a thing for derby times.

i don't have a derby name yet and i'm open to suggestions.  i'm thinking about helga hufflepummel.  mostly because i bought some yellow and black socks.  and also i'm a hufflepuff.  and when i fall down i will just be like 'welp, i'm a hufflepuff!'
