GO SKATEBOARDING DAY

After a morning of work, headed out to enjoy the official "GO SKATEBOARDING DAY" 6/21/2011 (Another known common date: Summer Solstice but in Baltimore its Bucky Lasek Day!)

Everyday should be #goskateboardingday but with my schedule its tough to realistically make that happen.

Hit up Blockhead for my ideal session, backyard yard bowl style, jiving to the blues with the Brixton Crew, Dave B, the hubby and Joe "Peach" set in the gully with trees over growing---sick setting!

Nontheless, made it out to sk8! Been a slow couple of years with a lot of medical issues and an 18mm bulging disc for the past 5-6 years, but had a blast!  Got some lines and grinds, the hubby grabbed this one of me.

Even Rocker & Maestro (aka; Slappy) came down to enjoy.

Hit up Bulltaco for lunch/dinner, a lobster & a scallop taco & chips.... to the casa and then headed over to Bucky's.  Sesh en tow...when I arrived.......serious ripping going ons..........

Not sure what Hewitt or Tom ate before they arrived but they were on fire.....Motley Crew/ Dio/ metal madness playing compliments of Pandora

IDLE HANDS IS AN IDLE MIND

"Idle hands is an idle mind" words I was raised on, thanks dad!
Oh, and the other one "why be a nurse when you can be a doctor".

Today has been one of those mornings, all the phone calls lined up and has created a good buzz.

BUCKY LASEK INTERVIEW MAY 19TH 2011 KKSM

We were honored to have Bucky Lasek on The Starting Line Up on KKSM 1320 AM Thursday May 19th, 2011.  Amazing skater, person and friend.

A mere two days before the Pro-tec Pool Party, actually during qualifiers.  Truely thankful he made the time to come on the show.  My apologies on the technical delay.

Hear how this year is different for Bucky and what else he has his hands on.

HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PAINT MURALS AT DR RIBA'S HEALTH CLUB

April and the first half of May was an exciting, fun and challenging feat that I'm grateful I had the opportunity to be apart of;  From priming, painting to palate knife murals and boards.

It reminded me of the making of HUD home everyone helping at any and all capacities.  Dynamite crew!!!

This clinic is extra special, its my sister's vision.
I feel so blessed to be apart of her dream come to life.
