Ask Me a Question

I have received a few questions recently that gave me the idea that maybe others have the same or similar questions. Hmmm...

Therefore, I am going to open myself up a little bit here, take the plunge, and do things a little different.If you have a question for me, about me, about something/someone I have mentioned in my blog, anything (really) related to what you have read in my blog or are curious about, please send me the inquiring question(s) via this online form:

http://www.melindaswindow.com/contact.html

Then I will answer your questions via this blog. Obviously if the questions are rude in nature or embarrassing, I may not answer them, lol. But go ahead and let's give this a chance so we can interact a little more and also so you can ask that lingering question you may have. I really don't mind how personal the question - it may not dawn on me that peeps don't know certain things - I do tend to be vague in my blog entries sometimes.

I think a 30-day window to receive questions seems cool. You don't have to enter your email address; a name or initials would be cool, but not mandatory either.

I will accept question(s) through June 25th.

(note, if the online form doesn't work for you, shoot me an email with your question)

Thanks in advance for giving this idea a try!

Nixed

As I stated before, I contemplated going to ACS Nationals, then decided to go!

I would fly out exactly two weeks after coming home from my ten day jaunt to Vegas for BCAPL. I still thought it would be cool, though - I love Vegas and it would be another chance at a title tourney!

However, after my third morning in Vegas at BCAPL, I was in bed reminiscing about the last three days (still on Texas time and wide awake in the mornings!), and I decided I really should not come back for ACS. I was having too much fun with friends and knew only 2% of my friends would be there for ACS. I also gave away a sickening match the night before and knew that I still wasn't mentally prepared for going after the ACS title tournament. Further, if the ACS was a few months down the road, I could see myself going, but being gone almost 2 full weeks outta 4 away from my Mom was not something I looked forward to.

Turns out my decision a week ago was the right one - maybe a sign? After exploratory surgery yesterday, we found out my Mom's sister (her only living relative) who lives in Illinois (we live in Texas) has advanced stomach cancer and it cannot be removed. I therefore need to be home right now while my Mom contemplates her worries and concerns.

Maybe ACS Nationals next year? It's going to be held the week before BCAPL, instead of two weeks after. Hmm...

Please say a prayer for my Mom and her sister if you so inclined to praying. Thank you.

Vegas Quickie

While I'm not into quickie's, I need to give at least a quick recap as I settle back into normal home/work life after being in Vegas for ten days. Not sure when I will be able to provide details of each of my events in the BCAPL Tournament nor a recap of the entire trip.... so he is a quick overview:

• Master Scotch Doubles: 13th outta 82 players!
• Women's Open Singles: 49th outta 402 players!
• Women's Open Teams: 5th outta 133 teams!

So, I got "in the money" in each division! Yay!!

I had a BLAST this year!! Lots of late nights out, good pool, lovely friends, new friends, fun fun fun FUN!!
