I got the BEST hawaiian macaroni salad recipe from my previous hula kumu (teacher) and so I went to the market to get all the ingredients when I was faced with the dilemma of there being two sizes of elbow macaroni available, sml. and lrg. Which he failed to inform me what size to get, and now he is m.i.a. in Tahiti. So if anyone can help me out it would be great! I’m planning on making lots for the 4th of July.

I’m a senior in high school, playing my last year of competitive tennis before college. I’ve had a fairly successful high school tennis career, with two State tournaments and two Regional titles. However, this year, the challenge matches have been tough, and I’m one among four girls who are challenging for the fourth doubles position on Varsity.

My coach says that the only thing keeping me from taking the spot is that my new spin serve isn’t consistent yet. So, I’ve been practicing at least one to two hours daily, just working on my serve. However, my elbow and wrist are starting to get really painful tendinitis as a result of this vigorous practice.

I’ve been wearing a brace, and I feel like I should stop and take a break for a while, but I’m also afraid if I stop practicing for the time it would take my injuries to heal, I’ll fall behind the other contenders for the Varsity spot. I have to do something, because my game gets worse as the injury gets more painful.

Any ideas?
