Oh my gosh!!! I love tennis, I signed up to take 6 months of lessons and sprained my ankle and wrist before the second lesson. You just found a partner to play tennis with as long as you know the shortest route to the ER!!
Okay - I'll play tennis with you but remember you are 20 yrs younger than me and I'm the one that will need the ER! LOL!
Glad you stopped by my blog again. I am bookmarking you now and will be visiting again! Your 100 things are very similar mine which will be coming up probably in the next month.
Let's talk more soon about being mothers of only children.
Oops - I just found out that you do the "100 Things About Me" after your 100th post. I'm only in the 30's at this point and did not realize the significance of the 100th post until now. Guess I'll leave it up. Hopefully the blog police won't get me!
