...is about to kill me! As I enter into week five of my 'do something active everyday' road to fitness (which by the way is finally starting to show some results) I must say that this old body of mine is hurtin' pretty good. This morning as I started moving around in the bed trying to wake up, I realized that my arms were made of lead...yes, lead arms. Why? Because of this...
No this isn't me (ha, I wish!) it's that Steffi Graff chick, but it's who I imagined myself to be yesterday when I said to Big Dave, "Hey why don't we go play some tennis?" Well, after my precious hubby picked his bottom jaw off the ground, he quickly dug through the attic to find our tennis gear. (It's been buried up there for a good nine or ten years I'd say.)
We headed over to Armstrong to find their beautiful tennis complex completely empty (thank God for the favor) and had a lovely, but exhausting time playing an hour of tennis. We really needed the excercise since we ate the most deliciously HUGE hamburgers ever at Fuddruckers, and were both feeling pretty miserable for it. So we ran around and laughed like idiots, and then I went and hit myself in the head with the tennis ball (it seriously, shot right off of my racket and into the side of my face!) and Big Dave laughed so hard that he fell on the ground and wallered around like a cave man for at least five minutes. And with that, exhausted, sweaty, sides hurting from laughing our asses off at my lack of any sort of natural talent or grace, we left, came home, and had some nice cold beers in the garage as we watched the sun go down. Ah, what a perfect evening (with the exception of the ball incident of course.)
And now, I'm off to meet Kristine at the park to drag my arse around for an hour...with my arms of lead...and a bit of a hamburger/beer hangover. Yep, this healthy lifestyle's whoopin' my butt! ;)
Now, where are the pix of that? The mind-photos I have of D rolling around on the court and you with a tennis ball on the side of your face are priceless!
