Dodgeball Queens

My daughter (last one on the right) emailed these pics to us from college. The girls had signed up for an intramural dodgeball tournament. The teams were supposed to wear costumes. One of the girls on the team was a *serious* speed skater (she was even on the USA team) and had all these uniforms. Each game was five minutes long and you played the best out of three.

Our daughter said their team was for sure the "most intimidating looking." And not only that ... but they were "really good, too!" They totally dominated the first team they played and were told their next game was at 10:00pm.

They showed up only to find out their game had been at 6:00pm and were forfeited!! The girls were so disappointed because their team "was amazing."

Her next paragraph went on to say sand volleyball is next and her sorority formed coed teams with her boyfriend's fraternity, so they will be on the same team. Guess alls well that ends well! But aren't those girls cute? Here they are with their "game faces on." ;-)

P.S. I am off to North Carolina all next week for an intensive writers retreat where I plan to plot out my 2008 release. (Just finished and turned in to the publisher my 2007 summer release, Courting Trouble. Woo-hoo!!) See ya when I get back!

Deeanne said...: Yeah. I'm not thinkin' I'd wanna play dodgeball against them. Too scary! ha!
Meg said...: My memories of grade-school dodge ball are awfully wimpy compared to that fierce bunch!
Susan said...: Wow. They look absolutely great. How fun that must have been. My grade-school dodgeball was comprised of standing up against a wall and a dodgeball being thrown at us. The ball could only take us out if we were hit below the waistline. The rules are much different now.
Barb said...: Ditto to Susan's comments, plus we couldn't even look good up against the wall, cuz we didn't have the cool suits! :o(
Jenster said...: I broke my arm playing dodgeball in the 5th grade. It was some serious stuff on the playground, I tell ya!

Deeanne said...: Oh! Somebody give Jen a suit and sign her up. Sounds like she's got the stuff it takes!

I'm working hard. I have no cell phone signal, no normal phones are in the rooms and I only get an internet connection in the lobby. So, I'm downloading all my stuff before an 8:00pm meeting and wanted to pop in and say "hi."

HI, EVERYBODY!!!
Jenster said...: Uh, you really don't want to see me in one of those suits! lol

Toni Lea Andrews said...: You do NOT look old enough for that to be your daughter.
Deeanne said...: Hey, Toni! Welcome and ... thank you!
