I apologize for last week's unannounced absence from blogging. Since starting Cooking on Skates in late 2010, I have posted something Monday through Friday every single week. On vacation in Miami last week, I didn't think I had wifi access. By midweek when I figured out where I could get it for free, I decided to just take a week off for once. As someone who is generally wound a little too tight, I thought it might do me some good.
It was glorious.
 |
I showed up looking like a mess. Completely out of place at a fancy resort. |
 |
Did up my hair and makeup and put on a Bettie Page dress to go to dinner the first night. |
 |
See? Hair. Makeup. |
 |
The next night, went out to a local bar across the street. When you marry a derby girl, this is what you get to take to social functions with colleagues. |
 |
Then I lounged in the sun in unflattering positions for a couple days. Ahh. |
 |
Derby girl. Fancy resort. Something doesn't quite mesh. |
 |
The dress I tried to wear to South Beach broke, so I went rockabilly instead. No one else there was dressed like me, and I loved it! |
 |
Yep. I'm such a dork. I love Miami Ink and insisted that we visit. |
 |
This is my new favorite shirt, picked up from Love Hate Tattoo (aka Miami Ink). It's an Ami James design and has the shop logo on the back. |
Unfortunately, I only skated once, and briefly outside because the sidewalks had one-inch cracks everywhere. So some of you can rejoice in not suffering through derby-related posts for a couple days.
Most importantly: I ate all the food. Photos of that to come tomorrow.
