It finally stopped raining today. I like the rain, but enough is enough. Aside from the absence of rain, it was unseasonably warm here. I wore shorts. Sometimes it’s so cool I can’t wear shorts in July.

To celebrate the unusual weather and Danny having tomorrow off for Good Friday, we went to play tennis after work. Even though we are both kind of bad at it, it was a lot of fun. I used to play tennis in HS and I really miss it. It was the one sport I was kind of good at. I lettered in tennis however I think this was because I was the oldest person on the team my Junior year and I’d been on JV long enough. By the way, we didn’t have to try out for tennis. Pretty much anyone who wanted to could play. The best thing about tennis tournaments wasn’t winning (because I didn’t) but playing your match and then just hanging out with your friends for the rest of the day. Tennis meets lasted all day so it was a guaranteed day off from school. I got so many sunburns from laying out after finishing my match. Every friday in March was a tournament day, so I only went to school four days a week. It rocked.

In other news, I’m trying to eat a lot healthier and it’s really really hard. It’s hard because I lived on fresh tortillas, margaritas, and dessert while I was in Austin last weekend. Going back to salads and lowfat stuff is kind of a bummer. I’m not being too severe about it, but I find myself reaching for the chips and dip and I have to really restrain myself. Exercising helps though. It takes my mind off of it and makes me realize why I don’t want to jiggle excessively while on the elliptical machine. That didn’t really make sense, but whatever. In other words: 30 minute elliptical session + jiggly belly = not lots of fun.

Next week, my mom and her best friend are coming to visit. This should be a lot of fun. They are really fun to hang out with and don’t stress me out at all. I think the only way I’ll get stressed is if we run out of time to do all of the things on their agenda. Speaking of, I don’t think they have much of an agenda so they are at my mercy. It won’t be bad. I love being a tourist even in my own neighborhood so I’ll probably wear them out. No matter what we do, the day will end with excellent food and wine. Now, if I can just stay off the chips and dip until then….
