I see an ominous yet cool looking blue box by my front door this afternoon. First of all, that was NOT five days. Ok, maybe it was. Secondly, I prayed to God for a weather related disaster somewhere between China and Austin to delay my skates, but to no avail. (Yes, Made in China. Note: Bont is NOT an American company so it’s not like any American jobs are lost by the manufacture being in China) There’s no turning back, I purposely told several people for peer pressure purposes, and it’s working. I ask myself, What Would Debbie Rice Do?
She would put the skates on and skate, that’s what! So I put the skates together and put them on. I have a new determination and focus, and standing up and scooting around is not as hard as it was before. By the way, or BTW as the kids say, I’m making dinner. Short story short, several near-disasters were somehow magically averted. I was able to get boiling water from the range to the sink without pouring it on my daughter, who’s always underfoot; I carried breakable plates to the table; and I carried drinks ~ all while wearing my new Bont Jet skates. J
I had the skates on for a couple of hours tonight, and no, I have not yet left the house. My goal is to first get used to having these things on my feet. Second step = leaving the house.
