Racket Abuse!!!


So my little sister, she's 14, just started high school. She didn't make the volleyball team but because of that she tried her hand at tennis. Turns out, she's a natural!! I really am proud of her ^_^ but this is not meant to be a mushy blog, this is a story of said 14 year old with a witty sense of humor lol So....

You know that feeling of frustration while playing a sport? You just toss your glove to the ground, or throw the basketball at the hoop really hard? Yeah, well in tennis it's usually the racket that suffers. Well, the girls on my sisters tennis team have come up with a conditioning (unintentional I'm sure) method. If any of them get so frustrated that they throw their racket down all the girls yell "RACKET ABUSE RACKET ABUSE!!!!" (Yep, that would convince me to hold onto MY racket lol) Well, she had been having a butter-finger-ish day and she hit a great shot but her racket slipped out of her hands. Some of the girls looked and saw her shot and realized it just must've slipped, so they didn't say anything. Well, apparently this happened more than once. Finally, a girl pipes up and yells "RACKET ABUSE!!!!" and my sister very calmly
(and with DUH! in her tone) turns to her and says "It's not racket abuse, it's racket discipline!"

hahahahahahaha, sorry if no one else thought it was funny but it had me cracking up!!!

A day with glitter is gooood ^_^

So I had work today and it was a call in. I called in thinking I worked at 12:30, so I got up and dressed and got there at 12:30. I walked in and my boss was all "what are you doing here?" and I said "you said you were using me today, what should I clock in as?" and she says "yeah we are but you're not scheduled till 3" *DOY!* so I return home and then go out with my family briefly. I went BACK to work lol and yay! my most favorite boss is on duty (catch the oh so subtle sarcasm?). Well, work isn't too bad but my feet hurt after a few hours. They decide to keep me on until 10 which is cool with me :) well here comes the piece de resistance, we're staying open until we meet our quota of sales and these two older women come in. I walk over to help them with the fragrances and while we were chatting one of the women discovered the glitter poof. Well she put some on herself and WHOOOSH! out comes a glitter shower! She must've enjoyed that so much that she wanted to share it with her friend. WHOOOSH! another glitter shower. Well she must've been SO pleased with that, that she just really wanted me to feel the glitter love too lol. Well I see her reach out towards me and WHOOOSH! I am drenched in glitter! YIPES! My boss (one that I actually like lol) walks past us and starts coughing because she inhaled it! So after all the customers left, my feet were killing me!!!! We had to clean up and then I finally got to go home :) I walk in the door and the first thing my sister says is, "Why are you covered in glitter?!!!" hahahaha
