Unfortunately, right after I posted my singles diatribe last Friday night...my internet gave out. I had a message when I got home that said I was up for repair first thing tomorrow morning. However, just a few minutes ago, I noticed it seemed to be working again, so HERE I AM!!! It has been very hard to be disconnected...didn't realize how accustomed I'd become to being online at will.
Anyway, what have I been up to? SO SO MUCH.
* This week is registration week at work, so we'll be welcoming hundreds (literally) of new students and their parents in the next few days. I love registration weeks because I love to meet people, but these weeks do lead to exhaustion.
* I learned yesterday that my RA from my sophomore year of college passed away. It was extremely unexpected and I don't even know very much about it yet. She and I were the same age, so that makes it extra jarring. And she'd just gotten married a couple of weeks ago.
* PHATS!!! Check this out!
Yep! That was me on my way to my first tennis lesson. Yes, tennis. As in the sport. My main goal was to make contact with the ball, and I was successful. Sometimes. I actually had a blast and can't wait to take another swing at it! (ha ha)* Baked...I don't even know how many dozen cookies Saturday and tonight. It's been a chocolate chip/peanut butter festival around here.
* And on Sunday - a personal victory. More city driving. I went with my friend Faith (and by went, I mean drove) and her two daughters to visit my college roommate, Jenny, who just had her first baby.
He had previously been much happier but was getting tired by this time. Jenny says he HATES going to sleep because he might miss something. Apparently four visitors were worthy of fighting sleep!
So that's been life since I was disconnected. And of course I would reconnect right when I'm supposed to sleep!! So I'm back...and hopefully I'll catch up on reading soon. I feel so behind on everybody's lives!

Who gave you lessons??
Someone at work. And speaking of work. I need a lot of it. It would have been GREAT comedy for you.
so you're ready to be a fourth for doubles?
Ummm let me think. Why don't i first concentrate on learning to hit the ball?

Geesh you're adamant about not playing tennis with us to repeat yourself!
LOL I figured you'd say something about that. I didn't think it "took" but clearly it DID.
GO you! Tennis lessons sound like fun!
Hi Bekah,
Wow! You sound really busy, but in a fun way! Glad you got your internet back up and going! I'm blog hopping right now when I really should be editing! So, I guess back to work! Have a great day!
Hey Bekah! I wuz a bit concerned when you didn't post for a few days. Glad to see you back at it.
And, about tennis? WONDERFUL! The closest I get to hitting a tennis ball now a days is on my son's Wii.
Root Canal work will do that for ya. Ow...
Glad to see you around.
Hmmm...tennis. I recall that being my lowest grade in college. Seriously. But good luck with that!! I hear it's fun.
Was our RA Jana that year? All I can remember is Karen, but she was older than we were. That's really sad, either way.
And congrats to Jenny on her new baby.

Julie - fun, I hope - definitely comical!
Jody - Hey, thanks for stopping over. I know you're ever so busy these days, and I'm excited for you that you are! :)
Tsofah - ROOT CANAL!!?!?!?!
Christina - Yes, that was her. Karen was our freshman year and then she graduated. They said yesterday Jana died of a pulmonary embolism. The story was so so sad.
Bekah,
When you said that Jana had died suddenly, that was my first thought. It's the same thing that my young aunt died of last fall. The suddeness and lack of major symptoms makes it really hard to catch.
So sad.

Cute legs.
On the 8th day God created hammocks and tennis.
Christina - I remembered hearing about your aunt but didn't remember that was what happened to her. :( I will try to remember to email you the post her husband wrote about what happened.
Chris - LOL thanks! They'll be cuter when they're not so stinking pale!
My neighbors have a hammock. It looks tempting, but I'm sorely afraid that my lack of coordination would make any attempted use a comedic experience
