YAY REI!

I bought a water bottle there last summer, and I dropped it recently and the little bit that flips the spout out to a drinking-position broke off.

REI replaced it for me! :D

The 1st meeting of my Derby Fresh Meat team went well. There's a LOT of women on the team, and it'll be challenging (if not impossible) for me to remember everyone's name. Though they said a fair number drop out during the first month, so I shouldn't have to remember as many as I saw at the meeting yesterday.

I need to do a fair bit of laundry, and then make sure I have everything in place to go skating tonight.

Schedule conflicts...

For the next three weeks, I have a schedule conflict between my ASL class and my Derby practices.

I've paid for both. I won't miss anything critical if I skip ASL (just lose out on the practice & vocabulary building).

I will miss something important & get behind the other Doomers (my teammates on Bloomin' Doom) if I skip a Thursday night practice... because the typical Saturday practice is canceled for all of March due to conflicts where we rent track time.

I feel guilty for bailing and skipping out on the last two ASL classes of the term, but I these first few weeks are SUPER important in Derby and I don't want to get behind.

When it's all laid out like this, it's a fairly easy decision!
