ReplyDeleteDidn't you leave out Simona and Laura?....
ReplyDeleteSimona is no. 3. I wasn't trying to get everyone in, so......
ReplyDeleteTodd, Daniel is the one who has been sick, but I'd like to feel better, too!
Haha! Yeah, you know -- you're right! I had the post up on the comment page so I could answer the questions, then saw that at the bottom and thought it was on the post! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, well... consider it an early Get Well Soon for the next time you're ill then! Always be prepared!
So, in that vein...
Oh, Nadia.
Oh, Petra.
What does Vika have to do to catch a break with the fans/media in Melbourne, anyway?
That JJ... crazy!
(Shaking head over a blown Sloane lead.)
And, of course "--------" (insert charming Li comment recounted later) -- how much does it cost for a trip to NaNa Land?
There, NOW we're prepared for the future. Ha! :)
(Oh, and feel better Daniel, of course.) ;)
Thanks for the well wishes!
ReplyDeleteThe pain from Petra. It's evident that there has never been a player of either sex capable of the incredible strings of winners that she produces as routine.
