I HAVE A SOLO!!!!
Happiness and glee....
My coach picked "Tea with Mussolini" for my music, and we worked on the program a few times (like 5 or 6) last night. I start out with a "TA-DAH" move, and go immediately into a sit-change-sit, then into a bit of stroking to get the head to stop spinning, into a three-jump - cherry-flip combination. Then onto a Spiral, straight into a loop. Then immediately into a camel spin... then the wonderful foot work (don't remember it all, but it involves lots of mohawks!) to end in a flip-cherry-flip-loop combination. Then a bit of stroking, into a lutz, skate to the center of the ice and do an axle, then into a lay-back spin! How exciting! How exhausting... I got off the ice last night and felt as if I had been through the ringer. An older gentleman was there, waiting for the hockey practice to start, and he congratulated me on getting the heart pumping... not sure if he meant my heart or his!
So now onto more practicing, and finding an adult competition. A friend on the ice suggested I try for Adult Canadians this spring... then my coach piped in and said, "Why not the Olympics?". I really hope she is joking.

Got no idea which language you're talking here.. Just got that you ran into a klutz who skated at the center of the ice, then twisted an ankle and lay-back after a spin.. (re-read your text to follow me here!)
:o)

Hey Stef,
I just realised tonight that my honey and I are going to Ottawa to see the Rangers and the Bleu, blanc, rouge on the weekend of your solo...ask Greg for an interpretation if you don't know what we will be seeing ;-) When you mentioned the skating solo I was just so excited for you, the date didn't click :-((
Maybe I will get to see the year-end performance in the spring?
My favourite pick for your daughter's name is Maya. I just love it... and it seems to work for all of you needs. It works in french and english, it works well with the boys' names and best of all, you can't play around with the name too much (this comment from someone with a three letter name!)
Great blog!
