Keeping up with the McDonnells
Forget the Joneses, the new people to keep up with are the McDonnells. Specifically I'm talking Kay. While visiting this past weekend she mentioned getting an iPhone numerous times and then by Sunday decided she was going to get an iMac. For years she talked about how stupid Apples were all the while Facebooking on Bob's MacBook. After being confronted with her hypocrisy she shrugged and said she didn't care.
Kay and Bob travelled to the Apple Store today and she informed me that she will be getting these two items very soon. So cool. I predict there will be many phone calls to tell her what something on the iPhone screen means.
So there's that.
One other moment of hilarity happened while discussing older women wearing younger clothes. When her cousin Charlotte said that her sisters told her she needed to wear clothes more her age, Kay replied "They are just trying to protect you. They don't want someone jumping your bones."
Greg and I looked at each other and I informed Kay that that phrase better never come out of her mouth again.
She was shocked and said, "You must mean something different than what I mean."
When we told her what we meant, she said, "No, that's what I thought it meant."

Tennis doesn't get much better than this...unless Nadal is involved.
What a Final Four!
Roger Federer: If Roger wins, he will have 15 Grand Slam Titles, beating Pete Sampras.
Andy Murray: If Andy Murray wins, all of the UK will go hysterical. He's their best hope of a title since Tim Henman and he is only getting better.
Tommy Haas: My favorite player, Tommy, is 31 which is considered ancient in tennis years. If he wins the title he will have fought back from so much to win his first Grand Slam title.
Andy Roddick: Andy was the last American male to win a Grand Slam title in 2004 at the US Open. If he wins Wimbledon, he might put a spark back in American tennis.
Tickets for Sunday's Wimbledon final are going for a reported 20,000 pounds. THAT'S ALMOST $40,000!!!!
And I'd like to introduce you to Devin Britton, from the great state of Mississippi whose future looks great in professional tennis. He signed with an agent today and hopes to win the Junior Wimbledon tournament. He'll also be traveling with Blake, Roddick and the Bryan brothers on the US Davis Cup team as a practice partner. If Devin is the future of tennis, I'm liking it.

Blugh...I'm Sthick...
I have a sinus infection. That's not awesome or funny. However, I decided to traipse over to the sinus aisle at CVS and check out the meds and other fun things that people use to clear up these pesky ailments. I'm also a sucker for a new deal. I've tried the ear candle, if that is any indication.
For a while I have thought about the neti pot and wondered about its wonders. So while on the CVS aisle, my eyes went straight to the nasal rinses. Gross, right? No...awesome. My good buddy, Joshua, uses one of these every night and he's only 5 (well, almost in July.) If he can do it, so can I.
So I buy this kit that includes a bottle with a straw in it and salt packets. I'm over-simplifying but essentially that is what they are selling. Once home I wanted to try this out immediately because at this point I'm only breathing out of my left nostril. I read the instructions thoroughly as all good McDonnells do, then proceed to boil 6 oz. of water then wait for it to cool down. I pour in my salt packet and shake vigorously. Then I walk to the bathroom, lean my head over the sink and proceed to shoot water up my nose. I believe you're supposed to open your mouth to let the water that is not going out of your other nostril out, but I must have skipped that part. I also probably should have let the water cool down a bit more...I think my back sinus cavity has 3rd degree burns. This morning I upped the saline amount and thought my eyes were going to pop out of my head. I'm told by the directions that I'll get used to that feeling.
What is my final recommendation of the Nasal Rinse? Do it. I'm getting used to it and my sinuses feel clean as a whistle. Now my right nostril still gets clogged up but not as quickly as normally. Also, I'm not going to lie and say it isn't cool that you can shoot water up one nostril and have it come out the other (along with other stuff.)

A Grammar Lesson from Mrs. Kay
This was my Facebook status tonight. The rest, as they say, is history.
Sarah McDonnell sometimes I say "getting my hair did" and I don't think twice about it. I need to get out of that habit.
Kay Bilbrey McDonnell at 8:50pm June 29
Yes, you do! Remember to use proper grammar all the time and it won't matter where you are or who you are with, you'll get it right. (Just another thing I'm sure you will thank me for one day!)
Catherine Hartman at 8:51pm June 29
Hahahahahahaha...
Vicki Watson at 8:58pm June 29
Not today Kay!
Drew Francis at 8:58pm June 29
do what you want
Sarah McDonnell at 8:59pm June 29
HAHHA!
Kay Bilbrey McDonnell at 9:00pm June 29
Watch it, you ole ______, Vicki! You know I have to keep that girl in line. ;>)
Sarah McDonnell at 9:21pm June 29
Kay, this is a curse free zone. Keep it clean.

Strawberries and Cream?
It's about time I do another look at fashion in sport. (Click here to see the Olympic fashion run-down.) Let's turn our eyes to Ye Olde Londontown where the people speak awesomer and the tennis players wear all white...Wimbledon. Just the thought of it takes me back to the summer of 1991. (Before I have any comments about the players' faces, let me say there are never any good action shots of tennis players. They all look constipated.)
We can't begin our look at this treasured event without looking to the King of Wimby...Roger Federer. Now Roger is obviously sponsored by Nike. Looks like they pretty much just give him the leftovers from the warehouse floor. Kidding...kidding. I mean look at him! Such a class act and a great dresser. I mean he is wearing a vest! HE IS AWESOME!!!!
I'll also let you see this awesome photo shoot from a few years back. Looking great on and off the court and let's be honest, isn't that what life's all about? (hmmm....ok.)
Next we will check out the top American man in the Open, also the lone American man left at this point. (Come on Americans...start winning!) Andy Roddick is dreamy (Dreamy: attractive, good-looking. most likely used by your mom in 1965 to describe Elvis or by Haley)
Dinara Safina is ranked high in the Women's rankings and I'm a fan. However, I'm not a fan of her outfit or her new hair color. Yikes.
This is Daniela Hantuchova who looks great. But she's not my main interest. Check out the line judge. Those Brits do it right. This guy could go straight from the court to the pub for a pint. G'day! (Wait, I mean "Cheerio!")
Now I have never heard of Anne Keothavong (deal-breaker name) but I have heard of the rules at Wimbledon and I know she's not following them.
The Great Brit Hope...Andy Murray. Dapper. Berge and I saw him play in Memphis a few years back. This Scottish chap had a huge fro and mangled teeth. The fro is gone.
I always love Ana Ivanovic's choices of attire. She's classy and practical. Props!
Novak Djokovic is a character. I don't really like him but I think he usually looks pretty good on the court. He does, however, need to watch out for that ankle. Yowser.
I included this photo of Mikhail Youzhny not because of his attire but because of his leg. But before you feel sorry for him, watch this. He's felt pain before.

California Dreams called and they need you back on the set, Lleyton Hewitt.
It don't matter if you're (wearing) black or white...Jo-Wilfied Tsonga. J-Dub is really up and coming and his choice of clothing is up and coming as well. Well done, my good sir.
I don't know who Gisela Dulko is...I do however know that she is paying less than you are for her car insurance. And with all of that money she's saving she should buy a different headband.
My favorite player...Tommy Haas. Poor guy never looks good in photos taken on the court but DAAAAYYYYYMMMMMNNNN...you get my drift.
Am I right? (I'll forgive him the hat...he's German.)
Roger bids you "Cheers!"
