Blast from the Past!

Today, as Corky and I were doing what we could to clean out the garage, we only had a few distractions.

Please, everybody tell me they remember roller blades.

I haven't worn my rollerblades in over 6 years....and even 6 years ago the rollerblades were feeling a little "old school!

Corky was an avid roller blader throughout his teenage years and is praying for the comeback!



It was like riding a bike, you just don't forget!

I may or may not have worn my rollerblades around my house for a good hour after this while the girls napped!

I was just telling Jake I want some rollarblades for my bday! HA...he totally laughed like I was joking. But oh no, I am so serious. Those things are fabulous! (Do they even sell them anymore...I hope so!)

I loved to rollerblade!! About 2 years ago, I went to Big 5 and bought a new pair and ended up never using them and selling them at a yard sale. Such a shame, though! It's so much fun and it's great exercise, too! There used to be a "Roll-a-Rina" in town when I was a kid and I used to go every weekend. I loved it!

You mean rollerblading is out? What am I going to do with my knee and elbow guards now? P.S. We broke down and bought Rock Band, in your honor...

Thanks for making me feel ancient. Roller skates were in when I was a teenager, so I was still under the impression that roller blades were cool.
Apparently I need to get out a little more often.
