tennis anyone?

this is my friend kari. she and i decided it would be fun to play in a little tennis tournament at our tennis club. we didn't realize we'd be playing for 4 hours last night. we weren't the best players, but we were the most fun! actually, we got switched around a lot, so we only played with each other twice. we had a great time! i played with some amazing players and learned a lot. when i really paid attention, i could place the ball where i wanted it and even got it past my nemesis of the night, Raj! Raj is a guy i met who has been playing for only one year. however, you would never know it, you'd think he'd been playing for at least a year and half. hee, hee. anyway, we had a good time, except for the 90 mph ball that gary (who i believe is from a communist/no fun/and did i mention, mean? country) sent sailing straight to my, how shall i put this, nether-regions. it was painful. he asked if i was okay, but it was like those old russian gymnastic coaches. there was no fawning over me, no dramatic apology, etc.

also, in case you were concernced, this photo was taken after our first match. thus, the sweaty pits are showing up for a good reason.
