Off for the weekend!



SO, I am headed to the Seattle area to play in a roller derby tournament this weekend. We will be, more specifically, in Bremerton, Wa. The tourney is hosted by the Slaughter County Roller Vixens. I am excited to play, but it is always very difficult to leave Autumn and Adam for a weekend. It is bittersweet for another reason though, it is our first travel game without our former Captain, Kamikaze Kim. I really thought she was an excellent captain for MOST of the time that she lead the Munecas Muertas and it was a sad day when she left duke city for almost everyone. It is also The first bout that Killer Queen and I will be captains. I am a little worried because our team has changed a lot and we are missing two of our top scoring jammers this weekend (Kamikaze Kim who moved to Seattle, and Muffin who will not be attending for personal reasons). I think that we have made some progress in some areas, and I also think that with better attendance at practice and positive attitudes we could really be an amazing team this season.


I am also afraid I will forget something important...

I hope everyone had an excellent weekend! Mine was pretty good, though the weather played tricks with our practice times this weekend. We almost canceled practice on Saturday, and did cancel on Sunday due to rain. Fortunately I still got a good bike ride in on Sunday. The weather is bad today, cold and wet, and is expected to be bad tomorrow.
We are going to a tournament this upcoming weekend in Washington, so I am a little stressed about that. Our travel team is not the same as it was last year, and we have a lot to overcome. As one of the captains I am having a difficult time trying to make things fun and still work towards a competitive team. I made some great roller derby inspired items this week! I will share them when I get a post up about my screen printing kit (LOVE LOVE LOVE IT).
Have a great day!
