Tennis & Tiaras

Thursday night we had a tennis event at the club called "Tennis & Tiaras". This was my first official tennis even to play in. I am happy and comfortable going to my beginner drills and playing with my beginner friends. Playing in "events" makes my palms a bit sweaty! All of us beginners decided to sign up for the event so we could play against eachother.

I partnered up with Vicki and we even coordinated our outfits. I wanted to get a cute photo of us together, but my friend Julie insisted on being in the picture. That would be fine and dandy, but look at how tall and thin she is. She makes us look big!!! and short!!! And, she's totally not wearing the right color of pink! :)

Do you remember when I first moved to town and couldn't carry on a conversation without tearing up? Well, Julie is one of those girls I cried to. She asked me how things were going and through tears I told her I couldn't talk about it. Well, she then went home and told Leslie about me and Leslie called me and now Leslie and I are Lazy Moms and going to publish a book and be rich and famous and skinny. So, thanks, Julie. I guess you do deserve to be in my blog!

Now, back to the tennis. My competitive nature comes out in these things. I love having fun, but I also love to win. And, when Vicki and I went inside for a little break and noticed the table of ribbons and tiaras, we were smitten! The banners were like Miss America banners that said "Winner" on it in glitter. We both were dying to get our hands on those things. It felt like homecoming all over again, but this time we wanted to WIN!!! And, win we did....take a look
