Weekend Update

I finally have something to report about me. It was a busy weekend as I had to work and also played in a tennis tournament. We had a Special Olympics event on Saturday morning that I was a part of, and then tennis legend Tracy Austin was here for some clinics on Sunday and did an interview for me.

Anyway...the big news of the weekend was my tennis tournament. I played in the Sandy Dyer Open which is a big fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. I try to play in it every year because it is the biggest tournament in our Section, but also it is a great cause and the people do such an awesome job with it. I was entered in women's doubles with my friend Dee and mixed doubles with my friend Boy. Three days and seven matches later (including four in a row on Sunday), Boy and I won the championship and Dee and I placed second (we should have won). It was really fun on both ends and a big thanks to both of them for playing with me.

The other thing of note is that Boy is 73 years old, so for us to win was pretty exciting. He is like the Energizer Bunny as he can get to any ball. He was covering all of the lobs over my head and played great. We finally won the tournament after finishing second three years ago when I was pregnant with Reagan. He has asked me to play every year since our second-place finish and I was always busy, but this year it worked out and we won!

Of course, here I had played all this tennis (and trust me when I say I am not in shape to be playing seven matches in a weekend, let alone four in a row) and all I wanted was to take a bath to soak my muscles (or fat which is what it really is). So I get up this morning, turn on the water and it is ice cold. The water heater had gone out! I was so mad, but that is so typical of my life.

Reagan and Andrew had a nice weekend together. They went to the Twins game on Friday night and then Saturday joined me for the Special Olympics event and the auction and dinner at the tournament. Yesterday, they went swimming and then hung out the rest of the afternoon.

That was our weekend.

Dancing with the Stars tonight! Can't wait. We are also getting ready to head to Ohio to see Andrew's side of the family for Mother's Day. We are going to Chicago on Thursday night, then South Bend and Norwalk Friday to do it all over again on Sunday night. Ugh!

Gotta "go, go, go"
