Shuttlecock me
Sunday, June 10, 2007

Walking into a sporting goods store last week, a sale immediately caught my eye and brought me back to childhood all in one minute. It was a 2-in-1 set of badminton and volley ball. After day dreaming about playing every summer with my parents, I ran next door to Ace Hardware to ask DG if we could please, pretty please, ::eyelash flutter:: get the set. I didn't want his permission so much as his acquiescence to erect the net. There was resistance at first due to our self imposed spending freeze, but he was getting a saw and wash bucket, so I thought a badminton set would make us even. Um yeah.
By Saturday evening, the games began with threats of ass kicking and total domination. I'm going to make a great parent. I did not let my legacy down in the match. Don't worry about DG though, he'll have the upper hand soon as my reflexes and ability to dive for the shuttlecock slow down.
The problem now is that all I want to do is play badminton. I want to roll out of bed and play. I could play all night and have been working on DG to install flood lights so we can play after the sun goes down.

I will be on the next plane to denver to kick your ass! I'm the shuttlecock queen! I even have my own vintage wooden racquet! :)
Bring it on! I don't know which is funnier, me kicking your pregnant ass, or two knocked up ladies running around pounding a shuttle cock.
come this fall, i'll pay money to see you two at it in the back yard! bellys, asses, and all.
