I received an unexpected gift for Friday! School is closed!! Yippee!! Now I have a four day weekend. This week I worked four days: Did three of these: Of course I was dressed in many layers because it has been cold here. I love running in the winter. If you have the proper clothing, it…
Mr. SP has been out of town all week and returns home today. Yesterday I got my hair colored and cut with a new style. I now have bangs and layers that frame my face. I’m wondering if Mr. SP will notice that something is different. What do you think? Will he notice? I’m beginning…
I am watching Mr. Sweet Pea in the finals for the 7.0- Duck Woods Charity tennis tournament championship. I hope he wins! I thought I’d try blogging from my phone. It’s slow going! We’ve had a fabulous weekend on the Outer Banks. The weather has been picture perfect. We are going to be mighty late…
We are headed to the Outer Banks this weekend for the Outer Banks Charity Classic Tennis Tournament at Duck Woods Country Club. Our partner plans fell through due to injuries and the pro at DWCC was kind enough to find partners for both of us so that we can participate. My partner is a young…
I’ll start the day by running the Virginia 10 Miler. I didn’t train properly, so I’m really going to have to pace myself. This race ends with the last mile being a pretty steep uphill. It stinks, even if you are in good shape. I know that I can cover the distance, I just don’t…
Mr. SP played in our club’s singles tournaments this weekend. I was the underdog for the ladies and came in last place. There were only four of us and the other three ladies are ranked at 3.5 and I’m a 3.0. We played each person once to twelve games. My first match was against a…
Last weekend we went to Wintergreen Resort for a tennis clinic. Since we had two couples and our mixed doubles season starts tomorrow, the pro worked with us on doubles strategy. The instruction was excellent and we all learned some new things that we can use in our matches. My favorite drill was a planned…
This is going to be a busy weekend for the SP’s. We have a big tennis weekend planned and also a family wedding that’s three hours away from home. We are filling every second of this weekend. Our club is sponsoring a Fila tennis camp that starts tonight with a tennis social. For the social,…
Our USTA team had a party on Saturday to celebrate the end of the season. The goal for this season was not to be last and we met that since we are ranked number five out of six teams. We had hoped to win more than we did, but it was not to be. It…
Saturday was a two package surprise day for me. The first package that arrived was from my friend, Jeannine. She sent me the cutest napkins and my favorite candy, Jelly Bellies. My tennis friends are going to love these. I’ve told you before that we like to socialize after tennis. If we play at Sports…
Today was full of activity. This morning I ran with my running buddy and then went to a tennis clinic. After the tennis clinic, Mr. SP and I played 3 sets of singles. He beat the pants off of me, but it was good practice. In the afternoon, I went to a show in a…
I have so many ideas for new posts and so little time. Working really gets in the way of my fun! My USTA team is in last place this season. We’ve only had two matches so far and have lost both of them. In USTA there’s 3 doubles courts and 2 singles courts. I played…
