Skate for Fun and Fitness

It’s time to get moving.

Remember how much you once enjoyed skating? When you got exercise and did not even realize it?

You need to know about Tuesday nights at FunQuest Skate in Collierville…. It’s Family Night….6 to 9pm …$4 admission to skate plus once inside, buy a pizza for $10 bucks and get a free pitcher of soda. Kids and parents can skate, but if you as a parent choose to just kick back and socialize with the other non skaters inside, so be it! Kids (and adults!) love to skate at Funquest!!

I’ll be there this Tuesday night (10/20) ready to skate, have fun and pass out KQK prizes! J

Find out more on the Funquest Skate website. http://www.funquestskate.com/

Funquest is on Hwy 72 in Collierville, behind the Freds. Call 850-1124.

So, we took PLENTY of calls….here are many (if not all!) of the suggestions….we just got so many.... both local and national. So, in no particular order…….

Things I never thought I'd do........

1) I never thought I’d….enjoy gardening, but as of this month I have now successfully planted 10 shrubs. 3 are successfully flowering azaleas.

2) I never though I’d……let my boys play ice hockey...not because I am over protective, I just don't want the 45-minute drive to the ice rink. We are signing up my nine year old this week.

3) I never thought I’d ….care that my boys don't get straight A's. I want my boys to get all A's, nary a B. A mom can dream can’t she. :)

4) And finally, I never really thought of myself as competitive, however, in our KQK Challenge I tied the listener and Steve decided that meant tie goes to the listener. Cool, give him the prize, but I want a tie in my column, not a loss! :) Also, while I tell my kids it's not whether they win or lose it's how they play the game...I must admit I enjoy when our team wins. Just being honest! Have a great day.
