I "Haas" a Sunburnt

My mom and I watched the US Open today -- I have to figure out how many years we've been going, but it's been over 5 times I think. Today's draw was a bit unknown as Maria Sharapova, the no. 2 seed, was knocked out by Agnieszka Radwanska. My mom is afraid of heights, so the one year I bought Arthur Ashe accessible seats (which were really high up), she ended up leaving the stadium, even though her fave player Andre Agassi was playing. Ever since that time, we've gotten grounds passes. Although Roddick and Blake played today, they were in Ashe, so we were relegated to watching Radwanska get knocked out by Shalar Peer, while Agnes Szavay knocked out Julia Vakulenko. Besides for Peer (whose match I had seen the other day), I had never heard of any of these players.

Then we watched part of the ending of the Blake-Haas match on the big screen in front of Louis Armstrong stadium where we had spent over 5 hours. We left when 31 year old Lee was getting creamed by Nikolay Davydenko. It turned out that Tommy Haas won in a 5th set tiebreaker 7-4 over Blake.

My mom is sunburnt on her arms and face, and I'm sunburnt on my arms and thighs, as well as my nose. A kind soul on the line to the women's bathroom lent me some 55 proof sunblock for my thighs, whereas our nearby seat neighbors offered my mom and me some 45 proof kid's sunblock for my neck, arms, and face. But the damage was already done. When I got home I soaked myself in an Avon peach bubble bath (which reminds me I need to replenish it since I used the last of it), and now am cooling off in the living room with the a/c tuned to 72 degrees.

Guga is in dreamland next to me, while Paddy is relegated to the crate -- he was biting and humping Guga, so I had to give him a timeout. He stopped whining so I will take him out in a few minutes.

Yes, a very nice day. I haven't studied one hour this weekend, but I can feel myself geared up for a studious and intensive next three months.
