 Introducing... BOOMbay Safire
 

BOOMbay Safire

As my rookie year with the Atomic Bombshell of the Minnesota RollerGirls (MNRG) begins, I find myself on the disabled list dealing with that "minor" knee injury from mid Aug. My MCL tear has kept me at bay for the last 8 weeks - ugh. I have been back on skates for the last month but no hard hitting and no falling drills. Thank the heavens I'm back on skates. With practice three times a week I was going crazy just sitting there watching everyone else have all the fun. But I know soon - VERY SOON I'll be back to feeling hits again! You're welcome to check out the website for the league at Minnesota RollerGirls Enjoy!

The DANES are great. Bath day was Monday and OH do they prance when they feel squeaky clean. They love themselves a good bath! Here's a recent shot of Nene terrorizing a woodpile dweller. She is SO funny when it comes to varmits in her yard. She sits at the window and you can almost hear her thinking "NOT ON MY WATCH!"

The boy started high school and he has a girl. They are sweet and I'm glad they have each other. Both are good kids and will do well together. They both play sports and have a sense of humor - vital in the world today. They went to their first dance together and had a great time. I was doing a league promo for the new Drew Barrymore movie -WHIP IT! - and was driving the MNRG 4Roller so they had their picture taken with it. It will be a fun story to look back on some day!

Hope life is well with every Streamer out there. I'll be checking in from time to time with a photo posting or two. Wishing you all well and a wonderfully spooky season too!

Much love - DALPHA

 Between the sheet Crawl
 

Hey Streamers!
Just wanted to send love out to you all and let you know I am still alive. Down for a week or two with a sprained MCL (knee injury) from a fall I took on Thurs night, but it's all good and in one piece. Now that Boot Camp is over our draft will commence and we find out what the future holds on Thurs.

Until then, I'm sending a song (Dirty Laundry - since Nene is hanging out in a sheet:) and the danes to keep you company!
Enjoy!

We looked over and Nene had tussled her way under the sheet... and we started giggling at the sight of it. She is such a goofball:)



And here's Nene lovin' on her Luna.
They are BFFs. She lays all over him and he is pretty good about it.

 Grit and Grime

HIT THE PLAY BUTTON:

Gotta give props to Bob once again. The man has over 60 albums and has spanned generations of music and he pulls this one out of his crazy brain and cranks it up with the gargled sand quality of his aged vocals to produce a number one, international hit. For me, the song just drips of grit, grime, and sex. And there's nothing wrong with that combo.

 Majordanes Daily Living
 

Just thought I'd post some of the recent fun we've been having here at the Majordanes Home Office. Nothing fancy, just the facts. :)

SONG INFO:

This song reminds me of the 80's party anthem "I wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day..." put with the new generations laxed out view and mood. I'm pleased to see the idea of a freedom anthem being reborn with a new sense of the next generation and all the glorious details that make them unique. Warning... this song details the pros and cons of serious house parties (drugs, nakedness, wacked out priorities, etc.).

Yep, still working my way toward the draft next month of the MN Roller Girls. They kick my butt three times a week and the other days I just lay recuperating.

I DO have a break next week as I head to KY (Louisville to be exact - shout out to all you KY Streamers!) for the AHEAD conference, but I fear it may result in putting me farther behind.

Plus, there's a whole lotta drinkin' that seems to be a requirement if I end up being a roller girl... so I've been spending some time this summer building up a tolerance of more than one beer (TRUE CONFESSION TIME: I'm a light weight with alcohol)

The boy and I went to our first drive-in of the summer. I posted a few pictures last year of the danes at the drive-in (we bring them to keep us warm as the temps start to drop after sunset), and I'll be posting new ones from this summer as we head back. Speaking of movies, we head out tonight for the midnight showing of the much anticipated Harry Potter 6 and none too soon! We have been staving off the withdrawal with sneak peek clips this whole last week, but we just can't wait any more!

The Majordanes have been soaking up the summer sun every chance they get. The girls have been getting along (knock on wood) quite well lately and Luna helps teach Nene that it is impolite to eat the neighbor - no matter how bite size he may be! She is such a wild girl and protector. We all went to the boy's soccer game last night (yep, it was a Majordanes field trip!), and it was heart breaking but with only me holding the 3 leashes, I just had to say no to the on-lookers who asked to pet them. If Luna or Nene decided they didn't like someone, it would be antics equal to a Three Stooges skit, with me stuck in the middle. And if Nene sees Ava getting attention, the feud begins all over again. A chance I just won't take. Nene did let out one thunderous bark as a large black dog crossed the invisible barrier of 100 yards. Some of you know, she has an amazing bark that would have any adult wetting themselves if faced with the dog attached to it. She doesn't mess around. In fact, I walked them the other morning (2am - after the drive-in) and Nene RARELY detaches her head from my hip during walks. I should get footage as it is quite remarkable. But during that particular walk, she not only left my hip but came forward to stare and growl into a dark area of a nearby yard. I have no idea what was in the shadows, but it wisely stayed put after seeing her as the alternative. She really is a sweet girl - a little wild in her youth - but sweet just the same.

 Where oh where have your Majordanes gone?
 

I know I have been absent A BUNCH - but crazy amounts of life starting piling up. I won't go into all the deets but it has been an adventure. You should know all is well here at the Majordanes Home Office as we head into the heat of summer! The danes are well and enjoying having me at home to themselves, the Misfits are coming for a visit this weekend and we can't wait to host their stay in MN, it is also my birthday this weekend, and I have indeed made it through tryouts for the MN Roller Girls - so I'm currently in BOOT CAMP!

Enjoy the song and pictures Streamers! Sending LOVE to one and all!
