Well, I guess that partially explains how overly enthused I was to meet THE MISTY MAY TREANOR.
For those dumbwads [1]out there who don’t know who she is, let me explain. Not only is she a beach volleyball player, but she is a two time Gold Medalist beach volleyball player, and she is married to a baseball player; so basically she is me in an altered world that doesn’t exist[2]. Did I mention she will be on Dancing with The Stars this season?
When my roommate, Dana, and I play volleyball, which has become almost a daily occurrence this summer, she is Misty May and I am Kerri Walsh. We try to act just like them, we even pretend like we have plays and I will hold up numbers for Dana just like Kerri does when Misty is about to serve. We dig, we set, we serve. We do not spike[3].
We really wish we were them.
So, when I heard that there was a volleyball tournament this weekend in Santa Barbara I got down there as fast as a bat out of hell. We actually got to see Kerri and Misty play! And they really are that good. We also saw Rogers and Dalhauser play against this really cute guy who I also met and will soon marry[4].
But, for now I am done watching volleyball. Dana and I are too busy training for London 2012.
[1] A favorite made up word of my mother’s.
[2] But still, possibly COULD exist.
[3] This is because of our vertical challenge which the net imposes on us. Otherwise we would KILL.
[4] Look for the announcement soon!!!!
Me, MISTY MAY, Dana
Dana, Big Willie, Me.
Don't we make a cute couple?
