My mom put me in tennis lessons when I was in elementary school. I really hated it. I can't remember if I did it for 1 or 2 springs. I didn't take it seriously and the instructor called up my parents and told them and I got yelled at cause they were paying for the lessons. I was like, well I didn't ASK for them and I HATE them. hahahahaJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-70020186285475644272017-07-05T15:54:58.681-04:002017-07-05T15:54:58.681-04:00I am a chocoholic anyway Diane.
