Life without tennis

This past week was my first week without tennis. It always amazes me how much time I have in the afternoons and evenings to do whatever I want. I worked outside with mom one afternoon trimming everything to get things ready for winter, finished a brick edging I started during the summer, cleaned out the garage, cleaned up the house, watched TV (I'd missed my afternoon Gilmore Girl reruns from 5-6pm!), and even made an afternoon trip to Warsaw to see Coach Leon. I am more relieved this fall to be done with tennis than I was the past two seasons.

Last night Christie and Joel came over for dinner and games. Joel is starting to think that we only invite him over when we need a fourth person for games, which isn't true, but the last time he was over was 4th of July when Christie was over too. What he doesn't realize is that I like when he comes because than I am sure to beat at least one person! We played Scattergories and Dutch Blitz and had a lot of fun.

I am looking forward to making a trip to see Rebekah next weekend with Colin. I am going to pick him up in Bluffton and then we are driving to Knoxville together. Rebekah has tickets for us to see a UT football game. I hope we have a chance to eat at Barley's, shop at Reruns, and run down Cherokee Blvd too.

p.s. I dyed my hair dark red. Not so sure about it, but it is something different!
