is it considered stealing...

when you borrow something without asking, but have it back before anyone notices??? no, couldn't be...i hope

today was a short schedule (we got out at 1:00) this was due the the fact that ms. toney's mother just passed away from cancer and the memorial service was this afternoon. a sad reason for a short day, but i was glad for school being shorter just the same. oh, and track was actually canceled, so that was nice.

well, not wanting to waste the extra time, julie and i went out to lunch and after decided we wanted to play tennis (good thing the rain had stopped). there was only one tiny problem: the one day i need it i don't have my racket along with me. we really wanted to play. we started calling everyone we could think of that was in a 5 mile radius that possessed a tennis racket. unfortunately we were out of luck. you may have guessed by now where this whole "stealing" (wait it was "borrowing", not stealing) thing comes in, but i shall explain. julie suggests we go to school and see if we can borrow one from the P.E. stash. we get there and go into the locker room. unfortunately no one was there to allow us to do this. oh, and the store closet was unlocked... with some debate we took one out and went back outside. we would have played on the school tennis courts, but they were soaked. playing with it on school grounds would have been one thing, but taking it off campus is another... :0

in order to relieve us of our slight feelings of guilt we tried to find ms. admiraal to "get permission", but we were pretty sure she had left for a basketball game. we walked down to the middle school, but were afraid to go on the campus because they weren't out of school yet. we decided to leave and just take it, but after driving to the park we decided it would make our consciences’ at least feel better to let someone know we had uh…borrowed school property. we decided to call ms. admiraal, since she is our tennis coach and also the only phone number we had of a faculty member. well, she didn't answer and we all know how good i am at leaving messages. it was especially nice because julie is screaming in the background and then grabs the phone from me. yeah, probably the most confusing message ever! hilarious! you have julie saying "give me the phone!" and then after she takes it and begins repeating everything i had just said i'm yelling "i already said that!". man, what school does to a person, i tell ya... i bet it was an awesome message to try and decipher. :)

julie and i did finally get to play our tennis except for the fact that neither of us had on proper shoes...we ended up just taking them off and then almost stepping on shards of glass, rocks, bees and such. it didn't help that the winds decided to pick up and completely killed any hope of hitting straight. we then went on the swings instead, before returning the racket to it's bin in the locker room. yes, we did successfully return the stolen item! haha! goodness what we will do to play tennis...

fun fun!
i'm off to do some homework now. ick!

hope all is well with you all!
