Guest Blogers Needed!

Idaho. I was leaving you, moving back to a place I had been before, but needed direction and friends and something more than just some boxes to unpack in the cold of October 2010. I was sitting in the salon chair, getting my hairs cut for the last time from my stylist, listening to sappy music with tears in my eyes. I told her that day between hugs and sobs, that when I got to where I was going, I was joining a roller derby team. And that is exactly what I did.

I moved at the end of October, and by November, I was skating outside under the trees free skating. By December, we had a spot to practice once a week, then January, twice a week. Come summer, we were skating three days a week PLUS the newbie skates that I went to practice and help the even newer girls than me. It is now October, 2011. Besides learning to skate, I started this blog, Muttpuppy's Putting On My Big Girl Panties (a panty in derby is a helmet cover that either has a star or a stripe, hence the title of my blog, Muttpuppy's Putting On My Big Girl Panties).

I've had a great year in derby, meeting wonderful people and traveling to different places. I blog and skate under two different names, so you won't find Muttpuppy listed at Two Evils roller girl master roster. If my career ended today, I would feel satisfied (bench coached two awesome games, our first away and our last home bout), was co-captain of two bouts, captain of one bout, awarded MVP/MOST FEARED/PENALTY BOX PRINCESS, and met the women in derby who I admire the most (though she will admit she's not perfect, makes her even better)).

So, as we know from my last post, October is NATIONAL ROLLER SKATING MONTH, and this blog has a main theme about skating. I will try my hardest to continue on with that theme, but....and this is the kicker....I am asking YOU the reader, to contribute to this months blog post(s), and I am not asking that any of it be skating related. You don't even have to use your real name (hidden behind a mask, you can let your inner (fill in the blanks) out).

Some of my interest are treasure hunting, metal detecting, coin collecting, antiquing, painting, crafting, swimming, exercising, cleaning (oh wait), taking care of my kitties and little foster dog and my female goldfish (who for some reason didn't spawn this year, weird). Hodgepodge. And What Nots. I enjoy LOTS of things, do you?

Some people, just like turtles. That's cool too. Wanna tell me about it?

You need to write something, and send it via email. That's it. If you want me to link something, will do. Got some pictures to use with your stuff? Send them. How about, a word document, somewhere around a page, family friendly? Send it to
