more fun than a barrel of derby girls


so this saturday was the derbytante ball. it was held at dish and it was actually one of our only "classy" affairs. i mean derby girls are rowdy, that's just how it is so we tend to have rough and tumble or super campy events, not so much black tie affairs. anyway, in this photo you can see the dress that i reinvented. i yanked the bow off the front, cinched it, sewed back on the pink chiffon, and added a big sparkly brooch. seriously, everyone told me they loved that dress. i was the Bella of the Ball. heh.
of course i left with only half of my toenail on mah big toe (Chris kinda squished it with her chair and body weight), beer on my dress from a beastly new WMD who was having too much fun backing it up, and dirt and booze all over the bottom of my lovely pink chiffon. blasted derby girls, you can't take em anywhere. at least the PrissKillas were classy and stylish (i.e. not wearing sparkly animal print dresses.....)

This photo: Smackie loves me she is really just in denial about it.
heh.

as you can see, i won an award for most assists. i am guessing this was a first season award as most of the second season i played as jammer. (which reminds me, i wonder about the most lead jams award, but maybe that was for the first season and not the second.) this award was soon lost behind the bench that is bolted to the floor at Dish. i handed it, mine and Chris' awards to Betty Larceny for safe keeping behind the merch table and now they are lost forever :( oh well, at least i have a photo. (could that smile be any more ridiculous??!)



yesterday, the hubby and i went out to his parent's house where he went to look for animals (in camo clothing.... :( but far be it for me to try to indoctrinate him with my belief system. i refuse to be that type of vegetarian going vegan) and i sat and chatted with his mom and later his sister. Dona, his mom, plans on taking me with her on Saturday to "test." she and her sisters check various levels of vitamins and minerals in their bodies and make adjustments in their diet or supplements according to what the test finds. this diet by Challen W. Waychoff II is based on Ream's Biological Theory of Ionization and also on Levitican law. Although not vegan, it is kosher. So being a vegan in this eating system would simply take it a step further.





i would like to know if anything is missing in my system so that i can supplement should i need to. as most vegetarians/vegans know, people will constantly ask you "how do you get enough protein? are you sure that diet is healthy? are you getting everything you need (vitamins and minerals)?" so i feel like if i know for sure where i currently stand on the health front, then i can more easily defend my stance when necessary.
