Urban Poly Princess

I tried to skate quickly so I could get to FHE on time. I did and I know it's more than time for me NOOOT to stop on the side without my security wall at the edge BUUUT I did it once when these little girls were in the way BUUUT when they were not there I walked the carpeted ledge by the wall. I need to take the leap of faith. Yes my skating is very appropriate for relating to the gospel. Unless I am brave and leave the security walls I won't really progress. Since I did one round without touching the side... BECAUSE there's NO side to touch!!! Tomorrow I need to do that twice and Wednesday 3x.

I emailed my foot measurement to Kimberly. I'm going to call her tomorrow to see if she has anything for me. Today I looked at a lot of skating sites online. They have a lot of trails you can skate in SLC. Logan has a skate park by the water park that is supposed to be the best in the state according to a bunch of skateboarders. It just looks scary to me. I wonder if one day I'd be o.k. to skate with appropriate precautions like padding and a helmut. The trails in SLC look like fun. When I first moved to Utah my friend from work took me rollerblading on Jordan trail. She lent me rollerblades that didn't fit right and it wasn't that great.

With the right skates it would be great. I told my mother about my skating fiasco. She was so worried about me. My mom needs to chill. She was happy when I told her I'm improving. She said I've gained too much weight for it to be really safe. Actually that'll help me lose weight. I enjoy it so I'll keep doing it. I told her so she wouldn't trip when I go there this weekend or when I go to skate at Hollywood Connection or Classic Skating. Katie said her roommate who does roller derby actually goes to the fun park because THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE in the winter in Logan.

Katie and one of the students in our challenge Brandon go to Planet Fitness every day and want me to join them. I'm thinking I should do my weight training with them. I should do weight training with them every other day. My meal schedule is at 1pm anyway and I usually use the time at 2pm to run errands. I'll just change my shoes. With my skating I haven't worn a dress or skirt to work in awhile. Wearing my work clothes to skate hasn't been a problem. I wonder if I just change my shoes at the gym if it'll be alright. Probably NOT.

Dan made a salad with fresh dressing at one of the booths tonight. He actually browns panko crumbs then adds these to his salad instead of croutons. He had a bunch of exotic vinegar. He had fresh parmesan cheese too.Someone asked him where he got these from and he said Williams & Sonoma at Trolley Square Mall. His salad was delicious. He was NOT frugal however which is what I thought the point was. Dan loves to cook. I remember him teaching us how to make homemade pie crust. I thought how usually my pie crust is some sort of graham cracker butter thing.

I like to cook what I like to cook. Pies have never been something I've wanted in particular.

Tomorrow I have 2 meetings. Faculty meeting and my RS presidency meeting.

I'm mailing my thesis tomorrow!!! O Happy Day!!! It'll be even better when I get my grade AND diploma in the mail. My boss and the dean keep teasing me saying the countdown's going to start.
