and it's LUV=15....

One of the rare "spending time with my mama" moments that I remember involves a tennis court on the back end of my small school gymnasium, in which she attempted to learn how to play tennis with us.

I've never been very good at tennis, physically, my body doesn't seem to be made for it. I'm short, top heavy, and too out of shape to move swiftly. Also I hit like I'm playing softball. However, it's always been a bit of nostalgia picking up a racket.

A few months ago my boyfriend mentioned wanting to play tennis. I said I'd be up for it,(mostly because of the fact that he'd never really played before and I wouldn't feel as bad showing my awful abilities), I also assumed that it was another one of his "we should do this" passing thoughts.

However, to make me happy he takes me to random thrift stores in which I'm allowed to roam through aisles of books, shoes, and various other items people have donated to most likely " get rid of". I enjoy knowing that someone other than me once enjoyed an object that I hold in my hand. It's not like pawn shops in which I feel people are reluctantly facing no option other than to sale an object.....

enough of my off topic rambling. We found these: on one of the many trips about looking for new sandals

99c Each. It was the best investment ever. Both are in fairly good condition and, even though it took us well over 30 minutes just to find a park around us that had tennis courts once we did it was a good 1hr workout that I'm quite sure will be repeated often.

Perhaps today I can convince him to go out even.

Achievement gained : play tennis

Steven King had another book converted into a sci fi television series. It was called the Haven. I very much enjoyed the television series, with it's absurd plots. However, the show being roughly based on the book is an understatement. The book was definitely an unsolved mystery. It was also very drab. Not many books of his have I felt that I wish I hadn't wasted my time on. This one I have.

I'm a huge fan of unsolved mysteries but this was just not my cup of tea, oh well, we can't like everything

Yay for Awesomeness of BOYFRIENDS!!!

I've found the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I thought that person was Jarrod, but obviously I was wrong about that. This guy actually loves me. He has a son, and parents who adore him. We've taken random trips- He loves to travel, we've gone to music shows, thrift stores, walks in the park. He also reads to me, cooks for me, takes care of me. I've never once thought that I could be this happy without a job. My late Christmas gift just happened to be the one that I've coveted for a very long time.

Finally I own an xbox 360! and a kinect, which I have used almost religiously everyday for the past week. Hopefully it will help accomplish several other goals such as the losing weight, getting into better shape, and living life instead of just existing.

It's not always rainbows and sunshine. We fight, I cry, he gets mad..it's a roundabout cycle but we work on trying to work it out. He doesn't just get up and leave. He's here for me and as long as he always is I'm never going anywhere
