Ice Skating '09

That would be me! TRYING to lace up my ice skate! Which by the way is incredibly difficult to do, it's most certainly not like putting on a shoe, or even a roller skate..much harder.. but again not nearly as hard as actually ICE SKATING! I would post a picture of me trying to Ice Skate but it's so pitiful, someone observing me "trying" and I stress "trying" to ice skate would likely compare it to a new born deer only minutes old trying to stand up on it's shaky, flimsy baby legs, only I'm certain that the baby deer looked much more graceful then me on Ice Skates!

I realized less than five minutes on the ice that the rail was without a doubt my friend so I clung to the rail nearly the entire time, on occasion I would get a burst of confidence and venture out in to the middle of the ice skating rink only to be yelled out by small children to get out of their way and that I was most certainly going to fall. One little boy maybe 8 or 9 years old told me, that on a scale of 1-10 I was a negative 1 when it came to ice skating, at that point I retired the ice skates and returned my cold, and slightly damp feet into my ugly, yet warm fury boots.

Needless to say don't look for me in the winter Olympics anytime soon, unless of course there is a snow tubing category in that case count me in, I can ride an over sized inter tube down a snowy slope like a PRO! HAHA

God Bless
