Pre tournament jitters
Hello all
Well, I am playing in my first tournament of the summer this weekend. I am kind of nervous, not really so much for the tournament but for my foot. I entered originally in the mixed doubles, and mens doubles, but after playing last night and feeling the pain in my foot I chose to pull out of the Mens Doubles. Mostly because that will just be more matches, and my partner and I are seeded in the Mixed doubles. We don't play until Saturday at 12:15 so wish us luck! We played last night, and I needed it, my serve is ALWAYS rusty after long lay offs. Hopefully we'll do OK, and hopefully I won't get gangrene. I have been doing my exercises and icing still, and hopefully it will help.
UPDATE we won our first two matches. We won our first round 6-0, 6-1, and our quarterfinal match 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. Tomorrow we play at 3:30 vs the #2 seeds, wish us luck. I am off to ice my foot
Well the rain is finally stopping here phew it's kind of hard to teach tennis when it's rained. My adult class has been rained out 3 straight days this week, and the kids have been cancelled 2 of the last three. Which means Phats has to work on Friday BOO. I love the heat though, it's been in the 90's, and I always feel like I have worked harder when I sweat. Hopefully no more rain for the rest of the summer tennis sessions.
Anyone watching Wimbledon? This has long been my favorite grand slam, they play on grass how cool. My picks for the winners, I am really going out a limb here and saying Federer over Djokovic in 3 sets. My most hated player Roddick unfortunately does well on this surface but will lose in 3 in the semi's to the Federer Express. On the womens side I am going with Serena over Venus. Yep another sisters duel. I could be way off, but Richard Williams the dad picked Venus to win, and how can you argue with the man, I don't think she'll win but wouldn't be shocked to see her in the finals. Darkhorse is Jankovic.
What's everyone doing for the 4th of July? I am actually hanging out with my family. We are all going to be at my mom's house and use the pool, cook out, and just relax. Then when it gets dark we will light the fireworks my nephews picked out, and finally watch the town fireworks. We can see them from the backyard of the house, which is nice. We don't have to battle traffic or find a place to sit and watch. You can come if you guys want, just bring your swimsuits and tell us what meat you want for your dinner?
That's all I got just thought i'd update. It's almost time for the so you think you can dance results show! I love this show. Anyone watching? My favorites right now are Lacey and Kameron. GunnGirl are you going to watch the new world series of Pop Culture?
Hey Cheryl and Gary just read today, Purdue vs Alabama in the Vegas Basketball tournament, care to wager? :) BTFU!

I quote..."I chose to pull out"
You can always count on Cher!
I didn't know they were having another season of WSoPC?! When's it on??
Sounds like a nice, relaxing 4th. I'll probably be at the house of my friend's friend. Been there the past few years and it's always a hoot! House on a lake with a pontoon boat. Nice!
Oooh finally a song that is cool! haha jus kiddin ;)
Good luck this weekend - I'll be pullin for you!!!
Good luck this weekend. Sounds like a fun relaxing 4th. We probably will be doing the same thing. :)
hmmm I'll have some chicken please!
Sounds like your gonna have a good 4th. Wish we could have some rain...we are in a real bad drought. They have cancelled our citys firework shows. You can only shoot them over water. I can't believe we will have no fireworks on the 4th. That is like no Santa on Christmas..it just goes together.
can i see kristens boobs?
Oh, I hope you do well at your tourney! I'll think of you tomorrow around 12:15, absolutely!!!
Hey, that will be a good game with us against you guys!! Will be fun, and we'll have to make a wager the closer it gets! Bama also added Texas A&M to their bball schedule, so that will be a good game too!
Hey, it's only like 60 days until football season!!! YAy!!!
Oh yeah, for the 4th we're having a big lake party thrown by one of the parents on Delaney's ball team. Should be interesting--skiing, fireworks, swimming, and beers. Hmmm... we'll see how that goes!
This will actually be like the first time in years that we haven't done something with my family, so it will be different!
Good luck for the tournament!!
Have a good weekend!!
Good luck on tennis... I've watched it for a while, but still have NO CLUE how the scoring goes (is it 2 pts or 25 pts difference???) Whatever... anyway -- best of luck that the ball lands in the little white squares and not in the opponent's racket.
But my score is slightly improving on the Wii Tennis!
Lob well.

Thanks for all the comments guys!
Hellooooooooooo! :) How did your tennis games go today?
so can i?
Hope your feet treated you well and you kicked butt in the rest of your tennis tournament.
No plans for the Fourth. Probably be like you and hang out with family.
I hope your foot held up. I know exactly what you're talking about too. It's one of those things where you might be able to play through the pain...but it just makes it worse in the long run.
I like your picks for Wimbledon too. Doesn't it get on your nerves when some duchebag says "Wimble-TON?"
Hope you had fun at the tournament. I've lost touch with tennis. I need to get into the groove. And good that your foot is better!
Yep, I'm ready for the 4th!
your 4th of July plans sound like so much fun!
Family time is the best! :)
Hi There - For once we are in sporting agreement ... I love Wimbledon too! Ilana Kloss plays in the seniors. She was South Africa's answer to Chris E back then. She is the CEO of World Team Tennis and she does us South Africans abroad very well. Her sister lives in NJ and we are good friends so this adds even more interest to the tournament for me. How did yours go? SYTYCD is one of my total favorites - I never miss an episode. Am also enjoying THE NEXT FOOD NETWORK STAR - do you watch that one.
We are having 28 people over for the 4th - looking forward to it. DDTF will be putting on his chef hat as always and no doubt a great time will be had by all. Hope you and your family enjoy a great day. xox
P.S. That meant to read - She does us South Africans abroad VERY PROUD. (Note to self - USE PREVIEW BUTTON). Also, it is the Seniors Doubles she plays in.
Thanks for all the comments sorry I have been busy :(
how goes it? :) hey re: top chef - that guy that is marcel's friend, dontcha think he is startin to act like marcel too? he turned that girls oven off - not cool :P
i'm jealous of Mr.Shife's family
Tina- yes he's annoying me already. I am not sure who I like yet!
How did everything go with the tournament? Hope it went well!
We are off tomorrow for EIGHT DAYS at the beach. Woo hoo!! Delaney's World Series and a vacation for all of us!
I missed Top Chef this week - but I'm starting to think they didn't do one because of the 4th, is that right? hehe
Jus checkin in...to dust off the place :)
What the heck are you talking about?!?! I see a comment on here. Man you're paranoid! Sheesh!
BTW, how's the foot?!
Hey hey hey -- still here, and I didn't forget about you! Gunther distracted me for a while!
Hope all is well!
Yes, yes I did tell her.
Sorry I didn't respond....putting lil man to bed. :)

Did you have a good 4th?
