Ugh! Me too! Felt like I was coming down with one since Monday, and last night it hit. I had to sleep with tissues in my nostrils to get any rest. Worked from 10 to 3 today and used half a box of Puffs! It's 9 to 5 tomorrow and I'm wearing earmuffs!

PIX, PIX, let's have the PIX!

I also had a great time, getting in a little practice, and lots of friendly advice on FO threes. My favorite moment on the ice was when it was time to go, and everyone went racing around as fast as possible to get that last skate of the day in.

I tried to go a couple of figure 8's doing back crossovers and I couldn't keep up with her. (I think I'll have secondary coach work me on faster back crossovers for 2008... want to see if I could keep up with renatele NEXT Christmas. LOL!!!)

Yeah, that's how it is at my rink too. The Zamboni chases us off the ice!!!

That and SWEET POTATO FRIES. (I was good! I didn't have too many. Renatele helped me with that! )

For those who want to know my schedule at Chelsea Piers, I will also be at the 8-9 and the 9-10am FS session on Wed. 1/2 also. For those who want to see me scared out of my wits, NYC coach will be putting me on the harness at the 9am session!!! Tickets on sale now!!!

Thank you for the support, you guys!!!

Ahem, pictures, please?

Yes, Renata scares me sometimes with her speed and power, she also wears me out, too!
Lovely to watch, terrifying to skate near! lol (x(x(x(x(Renata)x)x)x)x)

I *hate* being on the ice with the Zamboni, so I usually bolt as soon as they start up.
Why can't they make an announcement or blow an air horn to make people clear the ice instead? It's dangerous!

Jazz - we'll gossip about you at our meetup, okay? ROFLOL!!!! Hugs!

You are a tall drink of water, Renetale! Glad Liz can balance out the picture. (Spoken as a sub-5'4" person.) You look great!
Liz - I didn't expect blonde, I thought of wavy auburn. (I'm always wrong, ask Mrs. R.)
DBNY - lovely, as always. (You look a bit tired - get some rest soon! That's an order!)
HelenC - how could you pass up the fries? Did you show them that backspin I love so much. (Still can't do it well, but I'm getting better, lol)
badaxel - did you drive or take mass transit? Hope it wasn't pouring this year.

Jazzpants - You look wonderful! Congrats!

Renatale - THANK YOU for the photos and the padding info!!!

ISk8NYC - LOL!!! Hey! Nothing stopping anyone from gossiping about me. And you think we didn't gossip about YOU!?!?! (Just kidding. The only thing we said about you this year is that we missed having you at the meetup this year.)

Weather was pretty decent that Friday. It only started raining in the evening and it was LATE in the evening. Everyone (even me who came back to Long Island about 8pm) stayed nice and dry, I think.

Cheers,
jazzpants, who's going off to get yet another box of Kleenex... Gawd, I HATE COLDS!!!

Hey everyone!
Sorry it took so long to post, but my DH and I have been very busy ripping down ceilings in our new house. Talk about DEstruction!
I had a wonderful time seeing Renatale, Jazzpants, and Helen again! It was great to meet Liz on Ice and Dbny! Isk8NYC- we missed you!
I actually moved since last year, so I drove in from Westchester, which was WAY faster than taking mass transit from Manhattan, believe it or not. Aviator is not exactly in a mass transit hub, being way out in an old air field!
Anyway, thanks for all of the juicy gossip, great skating, and encouragement!
Have a happy new year!
