I've said it before: you definitely have a book in you!

I wish I had more hilarious drama in my social circle, too. And I also wish I were better at accepting the annoying parts of people, but I fear I'm not good at that, either.

awesome!!! I generally bitch it out only with only my sister and husband. Can't wait to hear about book club! Let the bitching keep on rollin'

"Bitch pitch" is just the phrase I needed to add to my lexicon. God bless you, Amy, and the work you do.

I agree, that if she'd left out that one sentence it would've been fine--a little snippy--but fine. Your coach did a good job defusing the situation! Cause you know if she'd responded in kind, the rest of the team woulda heard about it!

I can't wait to hear more about this!

Is your book club selection for this month Serena?...

Is your book club selection for this month Serena? It'll be interesting to see what the ladies think of it.

Where has the phrase "bitch pitch" been all my life?!?

Lisa, Matt thought it was pretty funny too. He enjoys the passing scene like I do.

Becky, only you could segue naturally from the entertainment of TENNIS DRAMAZ to the life lesson of charity+love (agape!) in the suburbs & beyond. Loveya! xoxo

ps, I too was highly impressed with the Captain's swing on the bitch pitch T let loose. Way to defuse it.

If this was us, my husband would be rolling his eyes so far back in his head that he'd have to have them surgically lowered. Only us womenfolk could get so twisted about something that is supposed to be all in fun! Love the DRAMAZ!

Elizabeth, there's really only one sentence that takes it to Bitchy Town, I think.

Elle, not sure, maybe? Not if this were a more established group, but none of us really knows each other's husbands. I think that exact email from a man would have seemed aggressive. It's possible I am a shrinking lily princess though, LOL.

2012-01-06T14:15:38.674-05:00

I don't know. I think the email was a good one and not bitchy. But then again, I'm a rather "forceful" person myself.

I do love to hear about tennis drama though --

2012-01-06T13:48:53.364-05:00

I dunno, Becky, is that how it would be received there? Like a going outside of the (girls') group? Because I know if my husband sent that email, it would be v dry & Joe Friday and much less-suspenseful with prob the same outcome.

I swear I've spent 2 hours here thinking I used the word "pantywaist." Missed opportunities!

2012-01-06T13:16:44.177-05:00

I just love all this tennis intrigue. I think there is DEFINITELY a book in this. Just saying.

Whoa, the Nuclear Option!

Whoa, the Nuclear Option!

2012-01-06T11:51:22.785-05:00

That's good because too many women are sissies who have to have all of the same things shining back to them all the time in some kind of echo chamber of sororal horror and whatever to all that.

What is interesting to me, though, is why T didn't sidestep the whole Ladies' Wild Kingdom dramz and have her husband write the email? You know what I'm saying. xo

2012-01-06T11:34:35.889-05:00

I always end these posts wishing I had the guts to write about my life the way you do. Of course, my life isn't nearly so interesting (seriously, way less Rowing Dramaz! than tennis), but still...

Also, I'm thinking a lot about what you said about putting up with people's stuff. I'm not so good with that, and I really oughta try to be, I think. I'm going to think on it some more.
