I just rocked out the basketball court today. I'm going to call my retired college coach today and remind him I have one more year of NCAA eligibility. Okay, fine, it MAY have had something to do with my genius athelete of a husband and our frightening telepathic love for each other. It also could be that we out-heighted our petite opponents by a good 6-10 inches each.
We weren't the ones who came up with this plan to play ball with short people. They chimed up that they wanted to take us on. I was leary that this could not enhance, shall we say, our couple's marital relationships. I mean, we're all fairly competitive people. And I suck. So, I lose the game for us, and Ricardo's rep is on the line. And I very well could lose a game for us. I mean, Ricardo is a gifted athlete, and great basketball player, but I'm that bad. I rock at free throws though. That's a moot point when you're playing 2-on-2.
I also knew that guarding my fabulous new online girlfriend may warrant the giggles. It did. Ricardo didn't seem to mind too much. Henri (pronounced "On-ree") kept playing too. I think we were all wowed by each other's game we showed we got. Each pleasantly surprised. And I got a pretty good work out. As noted, my abs hurt as much as my ass does from laughing so hard. So see, laughing is a good workout too.
After our awesome workout and WINNING, we went to pick up the kids from the children's room at the gym. I said, "Max! Mommy's a WINNER!" He replied, "I want Daddy. Where's Daddy?" Sigh. Nothing like a slice of humble pie to go with overindulgent steak dinner we treated ourselves to after the BIG WIN. WINNER! WOOHOOO!
Thank God it's too cold for tennis. This could be a winter full of Sunday Victory Workouts. I was happy that neither of the men suggested shirts vs. skins...
That's how I roll.
Next time we play I am going to run through your legs and possibly pull Ricardo's mullet if need be. I had nightmares about the blocking you were going to do to me. I must admit it went much better than I had anticipated. I think you may have gone easy on us. I was very impressed with your rapid movements and Ricardo's outside shot complemented by a dunk that shook the gym.
