A short story about Rollerblades


Did anyone else rollerblade as a kid?
I did, and as I remember, it was great fun.
I've REALLY been feeling the need to get out and get some exercise lately.
I hate running.
It just doesn't work for me.
I went to the store one day.
I saw rollerblades.
I remembered that I used to like them.
I bought some.
I felt a little "uncool" about this at first.
Then I remembered that I am an old lady with a bunch of kids and no one to impress.
I laughed at myself twice.
First I laughed because it's funny that I bought rollerblades.
Second I laughed because I cared that it wasn't hip.
Finally I strapped those babies on and went for a roll.
It's a good work out.
It is more fun than running, for me.
I laughed a third time because I almost tripped and fell when I first put them on.
But I was laughing with myself, not at myself so it's o.k.
This new hobby has made me realize how out of shape I really am:)
It also made me laugh a lot which is good because both burn calories.
The End
