Heelies

I bought myself a pair of Heelies, tennis shoes with roller skate wheels in the heels. After all if a 10 year old kid can walk and skate around the mall in them, I should be able to skate in my neighborhood. The problem is I can't. I can't even walk in the dang things. I'll be taking mincing steps, being careful to keep my weight on my toes, because when ever I put too much weight on my heel, that foot scoots off a mile a minute while the other foot stays not so firmly planted. Half the time I end up flat on my butt.

I am going to figure out how to do this. I am going to learn how to skate standing up. I even have a plan. I am going to borrow my fathers walker and roller skate in the garage holding on to the walker, until my balance is good enough to roller skate on my street.

I am woman.
