Darn it all. Not only did I not get to meet you, I missed tossing you a beenie (actually, a chocolate treat). I totally missed that you in the champ masters event (although if I had looked at the names...) -- totally worried about my own. Sorry :cry: . I like to touch base with us SkatingForums folk.

Hope you had a great first Mids.

Awwwww! Sorry I didn't get to meet you too! I didn't talk to anyone before my event really, just concenrtating on what I needed to do. And there were about 50 people there that I had to say hello to that I'm sure there are several people I missed.

I did have a great time at my first mids, though it's always tough being alternate! But I skated well and was pretty damn proud that my overall program was strong enough to beat several girls who had 2flip and 2lutz, which I don't have (yet!). So I was proud of it. We had a really tough group of girls, sicne nobody really skated badly. Everyone was very strong. So I knew my chances of qualifying were slim.

I hope you did well and was happy with your skate, and had fun overall for the weekend!

No doubt this question has been asked before, but why are you called manleywoman?

My last name is manley. It's a nickname I've had forever.

Yup! I haven't been training well due to a variety of reasons. So I was very very pleasantly suprised that I not only had a pretty good skate, but that I also ended up being the alternate for Gold! :P Since I can't go to Dallas anyway, it isn't that bad for me being the bridesmaid.

There were lots of great skates in your group. I did not envy the judges. Congrats on your placement!

I have to tell you, manleywoman -- I have a male friend whose last name is Manley -- mots likely no relation to you -- anyway, he is not so manly, if you know what I mean, in fact we often joke about it.

So your screen name "manleywoman" always cracks me up because that he how we refer to him.

Now I hope no one starts calling me a homophobe or hater or something for mentioning this -- it's just something I smile about every time I see a post from you and actually endears me to you without ever having met you...:)

Thanks for the answer manleywoman, I have been dying to ask you. I call myself Samba after my cat!! she had the name when we got her and I happen to like the dance although I am pretty awful at it.

Sk8ter1964 I know what you mean, I have been bridesmaid twice at the British Adult Championships and its begining to suck. Congrats to all anway.
