5/10 - Dexter and the Pottymon

Dexter went looking for Pokémon with me today.  We found these driving into the BART parking lot – probably for tomorrow’s Rodeo Parade.  Pottymon!!  Gotta catch ‘em all!  Er...  No!!!

Here, Dexter found some Poké Balls in the city.  The dogs tried to tell us they were toys for them, but Dexter was not fooled.

3/17 - Weekend fun: Rainbow and Shamrock edition

We made it to the parade!  The kids rode their scooters in the junior auxiliary brigade, and I skated with my b*tches.  It was awesome.  Then we went home and collapsed.

Sunday, we made rainbow pasta!

The pot of gold?  My little leprechauns.  Awww.

2/12 - Army Guy joins the robot parade

I don’t know what kind of car these fancy ones were, but everyone was taking pictures of them, so we did too!

I think Army Guy might miss his soldier buddies…

10/31 - Shy Guy loves a parade

The crowds, not so much…

There were a bunch of baseball fans on BART this morning for the big World Series parade.  When we got to the city, the train operator made a comment  about the Giants and the whole train car cheered, "Wooooo!”  It was very loud, and Shy Guy and I covered our ears.

This is how crowded Market Street was at 8:30am – just after you guys went to school.  The parade didn’t even start until 11am!

Now, we’re checking in on the parade on the computer – no crowds that way.  :)

Happy Halloween!!

6/24 - Weekend fun: Rainbow wheels edition

I'll be honest.  This weekend was a lot about me and things wheel/derby-related.  On Friday, I had derby practice.  On Saturday, the kids and I played, I cleaned the house a bit, and we went for groceries.  Then, I skated with my team (and others) in the San Francisco Dyke March.

Count Whackula and I arrived shortly before the march was to take place. We couldn't find our group, but skated furiously through the pack --er, crowd-- to get through to the front, where we *did* find our girls!  Then we may or may not have danced on tables, enjoyed burritos, and generally derby grrrled it up.

On Sunday, my teammates and I watched the Gotham vs. Rose City bout with Shadow Soldier and her brother Killa. That was one burly bout! Check out this "Pegassist!"

Care for a bowl of rebellion? Anyone?

3/17 - Green wheels keep on rollin'

It was an early morning on Saturday.  The twins and I (and helper David) had to meet my new derby team at 8am for the Saint Patrick's Day parade.  I made green pancakes the night before:

It had been raining for days, and Friday night was one downpour after another.  I brought my skates and gear to the parade, but lined up in my sneakers.

After standing around for a reeallllllllly long time, I decided to go for it.  We had so much fun!

Join our team?
