hockey night in lacombe

what a busy weekend it has been! but i did get a change to sneak away from work saturday night and play some ice hockey. . .only the second time ever in my life! in the locker room i watched as the other girls geared up and i copied them since last time i had lots of help. . . twenty minutes later all suited up in my borrowed gear, i gingerly skated around the rink for the first time this season. .trying to look cool doing my warm ups and stretches. . .no, i did not score. . yes, i'm am sore! one hour and only one (!) fall later. . .i was sweaty, tired and yes. . stinky as ever!
