adult skate.

I went to adult skate last night, I've been going to this particular skate since last year, but I haven't gone in a reaaallly long time. I try to explain to people what adult skate is like, but I don't think anyone really 'realizes' what adult skate means.

me at adult skate wearing my holiday sweatshirt my mom made me as a kiddie.

I guess my usual explanation of adult skate is this: Most the people there are over the age of 65, and no one is usually under the age of 50 (besides us). All the people dress up in their 'outfits' The men wear club shirts, or nice 'skating pants' the women wear 'skating outfits.' You know, like the ones they wear in the Olympic ice skating competitions? There are soooo many couples skates, and waltzes that only 1/3 of the people there usually do...There is live organ music, usually all the same songs play for example sweet caroline, build me up buttercup and jeramiah was a bullfrog. Really though, this night can't be explained, you kind of have to just go...plus us 'young people' make the 'adults' really happy. They always tell us to 'come back next week.'


a little glimpse at 'adult skate'

no good.

Let me tell you, 27 degrees is much too cold to be riding your bike 5 miles twice a day...I learned this from experience. I mean, wasn't THAT bad, but my bike gloves are much too thin for 27 degrees + wind. I think I may have to make a switch to thicker gloves if I wish to continue riding my bike in the cold. So after not being able to feel my fingers for the last 2 miles of my morning and evening ride yesterday I opted for the train today...not really because of cold, for some reason its 50 degrees today...but its supposed to rain for the next 3 days...I'm kind of disappointed for the rain.

I've been a busy bee lately. My etsy site is empty and I've been knitting a lot..I knit a hat or bandana every evening...I have quite a pile adding up. I finished my living room...I rearranged my furniture and bought a new giant tv. Though after almost 2 weeks without television, its sort of lost its luster to me.

Tonight I'm going rollerskating at 'adult night' adult night is actually 'really old people night' me and a couple of friends go and and skate around with people probably 65+ years old. There is live organ music...its december so I'm going to take a gander and say there will only be christmas music tonight. bummer.
