Something new

I played volleyball tonight.  Ok, pick your jaws up off the floor so I can continue my story.  It may well have been the first time I have played since middle school gym class.  Why?  Because I hate volleyball.  It takes me back to the small gym and glasses and balls slamming into my face.  I know, I know, you're supposed to hit the ball.  I've just never been very cooridinated ok?

Anyway, I went tonight because a friend cajoled me and I figured I'd better at least give it a try once before I decided to write it off forever.  You know, since I tell my kids to do stuff like that.  It was mostly fun.  I got a few good hits that surprised me.  I only ducked and cowered twice (maybe three times). There was one person on our team who made it kind of not fun, because she wouldn't even smile and was bossy to everyone else and got frustrated when we messed up, but we decided to try to have fun anyway.  I enjoyed being there with everyone else, but I'm not sure i'm ready to make this a regular activity.  I did still get hit in the face, but at least I don't wear glasses anymore.
