YES!!!  I am pumped.  I almost never tweet.  I thumb through Twitter every day to see what's going on, but I hardly ever send out a tweet of my own.  But Friday evening I actually tweeted tennis legend Chris Evert and she replied!

I was watching tennis (which I do every single day I breathe).  I had been to Cincinnati early in the week to watch the Western and Southern Open in person.  But at the end of the week I had to just watch it on TV.

At any rate, I was watching Maria Sharapova take on Simona Halep and Maria was complaining about some folks in the stands talking too loudly.  So, the chair umpire asked the folks to keep it down.  Now, here's where it gets good.  Chris Evert was commentating and made the remark, "They have to keep it down so they can hear her grunting."  In case you don't know, Maria grunts . . . LOUDLY!!  In fact, everytime she strikes a ball she screams like she's being stabbed.  See . . .

Well, I thought Chrissie's comment was a scream and I decided to tweet her about it.  Here's my tweet!

Notice the hashtag Shriekopova??  That's what my friends and I call Maria.  Maria Shriekopova.  Well, the next thing I know, I got a notification that Chris Evert favorited my tweet!  LOOK!

Yes!  A tennis legend bonded with me on social media.  LOL!  I am pumped.  18-time Grand Slam champ Chris Evert and I are Twitter pals now.  I have so many more hashtags to share with her.
