New things
Sep. 12th, 2004 11:34 pmSometimes I get the feeling that I'm too good at things and it makes people not want to do them with me cause they're not as good. Skiing comes to mind.. Skating.. Maybe kayaking...
Well, parts of this weekend was spent doing things that I'm Far from good at. And it was enjoyable :) but different. But I can laugh at myself, so its all good.
Friday I went shopping and found a pair of sneakers at Kohls (and 2 tshirts and a pair of cheap shorts and black strappy shoes too). Then off to Walmart for a cheap tennis racket.
I hadn't played tennis since high school, and back then we never really Played... We just kind of tried to hit the ball around. Well, that's about what I managed to do on Friday afternoon. I was doing ok, you know, over the net most of the time = OK, right? :) but then I got tired or something and most of them balls didn't go over the next. Definitely need to practice. But there are courts one block up from Central in Island Heights... I just noticed that this evening. I need to find a wall to hit against though, not sure anyone around here will want to play.
The rest of Friday was spent throwing around the Aerobi (I got hit in the nose, ow!) and walking 2 miles around the lake. Then we made tacos and watched team usa lose a hockey game.
( Saturday and Sunday )
Now, its almost tomorrow, so time to call it a night. Tomorrow is going to be stressful for me. Have to find out if I am going to San Diego next week to do JBD temperature measurments, or if I'm just going back to VA for a meeting. I'm leaning towards VA... Save going to sea until we have more time to plan.
