Malice in Derbyland

OCCRG hosted our second bout of the season on the 3rd.  We took on the Des Moines Derby Dames.  It was "Malice in Derbyland."  Lots of had hits and stategy.  Oh and of course Tough Ladies.
We rocked the house and brought home a win for our loyal fans!  It was a great bout and a great after party.
Our next home date is May 8th.  We take on the Cedar Rapids Rollers in "Better to get Knocked Down than Knocked up" avoid the Stork!

Sugar can Fly




Work is going very well. I have things down pretty well and have even started working a bit form home.
This week was a busy one. But, on Wednesday I had an opportunity to do something really out of my comfort zone. I mean really out. I arrived at work and shortly after Bob (my boss) said, how about we take a break today and do something fun? How about we go flying? What? Flying? Are you serious? He was in fact very serious. We headed out the the Green Castle Flying Club. It was a two seat Cessna (ahem...puddle jumper.) Bob prepared the plane and we "boarded." This is where I became VERY nervous. But what is life if you don't live it, right? All I could think of the entire time we were approaching the runway was I have four children and a husband that need me, please let me land safely on the ground. Off we went...into the air...amazing. Everything looked so peaceful and serene from above. It really made me take my mind off everything else for a bit, which was really needed this week.
We flew for a little over an hour, just tooling around looking at different places, the mall, Chloe's school, even our house. Bob even tried to get me to fly the plane, I told him I was not qualified and that flying was not in my job description, and that I would leave the flying up to the pilot.
It was an amazing experience and I am so glad that I did it. Thanks, Bob!
