My husband’s mom loves to shop. She cuts things out of magazines and sends them to me, things she thinks I’d love to wear. So today I bought all of this new stuff at this store, it’s sort of like Sephora, where you go in wanting one thing and come out buying 20 things. I got some shimmery powder for my shoulders for when I go out. Sveta saw me yesterday with it on and asked me if I was going out, and if my husband even lets me. It was pretty funny.

My sock sponsor, Drymax, sells tube socks, but they knew I liked knee-highs because I wore them at Wimbledon a few years ago. So they made some of their socks in that style for me, and I wore them in our doubles match tonight. I’ve put a picture up from after the match… they’re really cool.

Our opponents were really good tonight but Nadia and I did well. When we play aggressively and cut across to poach, that’s when we’re playing our best. So we won in straight sets tonight and we’re into the quarters. We had another unique warm-up today – Nadia and I spent time matching headbands to our outfits.

Justin and I didn’t end up watching a movie last night. Since I’ve been on the road again I’ve been watching a lot of Two And A Half Men, and that’s what I did last night, for about an hour and a half. It’s hilarious. Charlie Sheen is so good in it, he’s so sarcastic. He’s the ultimate in sarcasm. I slept until noon today. As soon as you close the curtains in our hotel room, it’s pitch black. Maybe tonight we’ll crack it open just a bit… but since I’m not playing until the night match again tomorrow, maybe not! We went to a Mongolian restaurant for lunch today where you pick your meat and go to the grill, and they cook it for you and add the spices you want. It’s really good. We might go again very soon…

I’m determined to rent a movie tonight. I need an action movie, so I’m going to find that new Ben Affleck one – I don’t remember what it’s called, but after we go out to eat, that’s definitely going to happen.

Talk to you all again tomorrow
