Up Close and (not too) Personal

My very first memory as a child was crying while eating scrambled eggs.  I remember crying because my parents were fighting and I was just trying to tell them how I felt.  And I guess I was hungry too, hence the egg eating.  I remember both parents looking extremely amused at me and who wouldn't be amused at an egg eating, crying child with a bowl haircut.  Anyway, I have no point and am now going to create a new paragraph.

Tennis is my sport soul-mate.  I sort of like running.  If I can stop once in a while to gasp for air, I adore swimming.  Bike riding is fun and then your crotch starts to hurt and then it's not so much fun. Yoga is only fun if I'm holding poses for 90 minutes in 105 degree heat.  I wished I paid more attention to my geometry teacher teaching geometry and not watching him smear chalk all over his pot belly so that I could understand the schematics of billiards. 

My best attribute is enthusiasm and my weakness is lack of focus.  Oh and fries with ranch dressing.  And ice-cream.  And fried squid with tentacles.  Mmm....fried tentacles.

I live in a posh neighborhood in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo.  The 2nd bedroom is our garage.  When I say "our" garage I mean I share this palace with my husband of 13 years, Steve.  He was my high school sweetheart and now he's my hubby.  We live with 3 chihuahuas that we love like the spoiled children they are.   I refer to them as "the girls" and I hope people read this bio first before I write a post that might say "I locked the girls in the kitchen with a saucer of food and a bowl of water while Steve and I spend half a day at Chinatown".

I'm hoping people read my blog and wish they were me.  I'm kidding.  I think it's fun to write about stuff - things to do (especially tennis!), places to see, food to eat, losing weight, gaining weight, marriage, friends, family, dogs, money, lack of money, and work - like when my driving students flip out because they were going to change lanes but then here comes a car...stuff like that.  I know not everyone will get my humor which at times can get a bit snarky or sarcastic or down-right smart-assy, so I hope everyone takes my posts with a grain of salt.  It's all good fun and a little peek into how I live, how I think.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments and I'll make sure to send you a sarcastic response.
