Episode 47 - Eating Girl

Saturday - M has names for some of the other women in Turbo Kick class. After a whole year, 'Eating Girl' hasn't lost any weight at all. M- 'She's unbelievable. She eats during the class!'









There's something wrong when a guy gets his arse whipped by his 5'2", 105 lb wife in tennis. There's something right when, after an arse whipping, a guy finds three cold beers sitting in the fridge. Ahhh. Tomorrow is our final class before signing up for the next session. We like this coach but he teaches on courts with no shade. Better have another beer before deciding. Life's sticky decisions always glide easier when lubricated with beer.







Sunday - Scary moment playing tennis when M fell over backwards and hit her head. I insisted on taking her and her grapefruit-sized lump to the ER. Not out of concern for her health so much as now she can no longer make fun of my tennis/ER trip back in February. Take that!






Monday - I'm very conflicted right now. The doctor gave me a list and I'm supposed to be watching M for any signs of brain injury. One item is 'Change in personality/behavior.' Well, tonight after dinner she said, 'I want wine.' Wha... ? She never wants wine. So my choices are: 1) Take her back to the ER and describe this sudden change in behavior; or 2) Go get some wine and hope this sticks... 2 it is... Riesling... She digs it... Yes!!





Tuesday - Seems M will survive her brain injury so I won't be going to Japan to get me another one.



Wednesday - M joined a tennis team. Soon it'll be my turn to complain about the amount of time she spends at tennis.



Thursday - A stressful night at the pub as the Lakers went down by 13... twice... before narrowly defeating Boston in game 7 for the championship. Sweet. M arrives late, squeezes through the crowd, giving the rubberneckers something to do, then puts her arms around me. Sweet. Some guy gave M a string of beads. She took 'em but I explained that she would not be reciprocating in the standard festive way.
