Oy what a glorious day!
Today was the first day after all of my academic material was turned in and I had the day off from doing anything! So I did what any normal person would do. I lounged around and then I played. Went to the gym and worked myself up good, went shopping for new tennis shoes and then went out to the courts to break them in. I'm covered in sweat now and a stupid grin on my face.
Things that I learned today. I really have to load up on my control on my new racket. The head lightness on this thing is throwing me off my rhythm. Need to spend more time on the court adjusting to it. I finally have some control over my serve. The goofy thing was that I had gotten pretty comfortable with my old one and my only complaint was that it was a touch heavy handed, so I had to really prep a long time to get a good swing in. Otherwise I'd mishit the ball. Now it's on the foot. I can prep anytime I want, but I have to load up on my power and spin to a finer degree of control to get the shots I want. Ah well, a challenge to get to over the summer. I may just pull down the tension by a few pounds, to give me some more pop.
Ben, Laura and I went to little havana the other day and had dinner and drinks there. It turned out to be a pretty great night, me and Ben got sidetracked before we went downtown we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, and then we *ahem* got sidetracked again when we got back to her place.
I was concerned that Laura and Ben wouldn't mix very well. Who know what kind of crazyness would come up when two of my important women would meet? It could have been a veritable pissing contest, with me being the object being pissed on. :P And the answer is no I do not like golden showers.
As it was Laura was her crazy and usual self and gave her stamp of approval. As well as spilling some how-tos for handling me. *chuckle* Conveniently I get a third party to see if they can see chemistry between the two of us. And apparently Ben looks at me with adoring and loving eyes. =D
I'm still in disbelief that it's been a bit over two weeks and I'm thinking of rings, babies and lives together. I didnt really think that when you find that one person, it would just be.
So I'm breaking fourth wall and asking those that are in long relationships or married. How did you know that that person is the one? (certain parties *cough you know who you are* are obligated to answer.)
