The One with Thing 17


What is the thing you most wish you were great at?

Maybe it’s because the Olympics just happened and we watched a lot of volleyball matches but I’ve always wished I could have been better at that sport.  I’d have to grow almost another foot taller to even get close to professional hitter height.  I feel like volleyball was the sport I was best at though (at least it was the one I had the most fun playing) and sometimes I really miss it.  We need to have at least one daughter and she better not want to be a cheerleader!  (Sorry Lisa and Andrea!!!)

In case you were wondering, I totally looked like this when I played volleyball in high school.  In fact, I still do.  Minus the bikini :)

Ok, maybe not.  These ladies are Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh-Jennings who did the unthinkable this summer and three-peated Olympic gold medals in women's beach volleyball.  Ho-ly crap.

Despite my lack of height I was an outside hitter.  This moment here is one of the best parts of volleyball.


Because afterward you get to do this.  Celebrations after a hard spike are awesome!!

No offense taken. I always said I'd never do it, but turns out it was a fun thing for a dancer to do. If I'd been taller and less afraid I might have done something else.
