This was the first time that any of us had been to the Roller Derby, and it was a blast! The Charlotte team kicked butt, although they were narrowly defeated at the end of the bout. The best part, though?

MY MONKEYSIS was a guest referee! WOOOOOOO! [she's usually reffing with DC Rollergirl, but I hear that Charm City will be hearing the dulcet strains of her glowing whistle soon!]

It was a damn good time and we will definitely be going back. We actually saw quite a few people we knew in one way or another, particularly from vending at Snug Harbor. It was great!

I'd recommend checking out your local roller derby team[s], because it really is a blast, and the derby girls are a great inspiration to anyone interested in DIY. Seriously.

Hi there, internet. *waves*

I'm sorry that I've been terribly, horribly quiet over here. It isn't you, it's me. Seriously.
The holidays kicked my booty in the best of ways. That was a mixed bag of good for my business/bad for maintaining blogs/connections/friendships - luckily, everyone's so understanding in my life, I've been able to win forgiveness. :)

Also, I discovered that the reason I've been so run-down feeling lately is more legitimate than I'd realized, when I got a bloodwork test confirming that I have an iron count of FOUR. Anemic? You betcha. This explained SO much about my lethargy, forgetfulness/lack of concentration, brittle nails, overall weakness. I'm working toward getting that repaired, with vegetarian sources of iron and a hefty supplement that contains two kinds of iron, vitamin C and Ester-C, and B12. Yay! Huge horse pills! I added that to my regimen of meds that I'm taking to help me breathe better. I feel like an old lady with all these pills.

Now that I'm getting better, look for more updates. It's really hard to post new products or photos when I don't wake up early enough to take photos in daylight! O_o

I've missed you, internet. I hope you've been well!
