It's been a nice Christmas. I only have today off, so we did the Christmas thing on Sunday in Hamilton with Jimmy's mom & dad, then late lunch with my family. All the kids were wild... it's Christmas, you know.
My mom got us all digital picture frames and that's what we got Jimmy's mom & dad and my mom & dad. They are nice! I'm going to fill up the 2G memory card with dig pictures. I'm more than half way there. It is nice to see allllllll the pictures of our life over the last (almost 6 years) scroll through while we are sitting on the couch. Joy & Jenn have the same frames. I got the kids all digital cameras... but Kodie already had a nice one. I don't know if the boys will even LOOK at them. Oh well, they'll have dig. pictures for their frames if they want them.
Played two singles matches this week. Lost both. I shouldn't have lost to the guy, but I can't seem to make enough winning shots. Played Darlene again and she played "lights out" tennis. Even she said she was playing some of the best tennis of her life.... great... She would hit a short shot, draw me to the net, then lob perfectly over my head. UGH! I'll bet she did it like 50 times successfully. Every time she did it, I'd swear, I'm not coming to the net again! But... I get going forward and have to go to net... too hard to stop.
I like my new racket, but it has my forehand a little off. Backhand and serve are getting more accurate, however. I'll figure out the forehand again. It's all in my head anyway. I got off work at 12:30 yesterday, then Jimmy and I ran a couple of errands then we went to play tennis for about 1.5 hours. Hit the ball machine 300 shots a piece, then played a set. I got 2 games. I get a little discouraged, I just should be a better tennis player by now. I had a tough time moving yesterday, though.
That's probably it for the tennis for a couple of weeks. I have my knee surgery on Friday morning. I open tomorrow morning, work Thursday and then off for my surgery on Friday morning, Cade & Jenn get here Friday night. That will be a whole other blog subject next week.
LY!LY!
