i just got home from the boston derby dames' skate clinic!
everyone told me to take it easy and rest this weekend after the food
poisoning, but i think i was fine. i skated for nearly two hours and
i'm feeling okay. i only fell once! and i learned how to stop, finally,
some rudimentary dragging toe stops. still no crossovers, though.

tonight we are going to the small press talk & discussion at feed your
head bookstore. (edit, apparently it was at 5! we missed the whole thing! we said hello to roxi but i felt so embarassed for having missed it. but we did walk around town and see a very nice comic book store. we will have to visit feed your head another time, so cute.) & tomorrow is liz's birthday party to watch the sox game.

i have a dandelion in my hair.
