Nothing All That Epic

Oh my goodness.. I have a night off. What is this weird concept?  I was supposed to have a softball game but a water broke (or something along those lines) so I get to stay home! I am so excited. I watched the Lego movie (the end made it worth while), did a whole bunch of chores and am now watching the second Hobbit movie. (J.R.R Tolkien is turning over in his grave. Im sure) I am also making a cake. It doesn’t count because its from a box. I have learned my lesson from my last one though. I made it as a 13x9 so I can make it in my pyrex and have an air TIGHT lid on it so it wont go stale in two days. Im most likely going to eat all of it. I have some walking to do for sure!

Its eerie outside (which is why Im inside watching the Hobbit) There are probably 50 crows hanging out around the house. Its either going to be like Alfred Hitchcock’s the Birds or Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven. Not sure which is worse as The Birds doenst have a definitive ending. If one of them comes rapping, rapping on my door, I shall freak out.

This week started out pretty busy. I was tired from the weekend of parties and not sleeping. Monday was Bday dinner for Jared (I think that he liked his Venus Fly Trap) Last night was football… I cant believe I am going to say this ( I really cant) but it was kinda fun. I caught a pass for a touchdown and actually knocked a ball down so my girl wouldn’t score a touchdown. Perhaps I am NFL material after all ;) We won 25-12 so perhaps that is why it was fun. And my girls were slow so it was a nice easy game. Oh I did miss a completely catchable ball. But whatever… didn’t let in a touchdown!

Today was my WFH (Work From Home. Accenture likes acronyms.) I didn’t put real clothes on, didn’t match my pj pants to my shirt, didn’t brush my hair, and didn’t put on makeup. I LOVE Wednesdays. I still do work! I just don’t have to look presentable. It is great.

On Monday I had a brand new experience! I burnt my tongue on a Skittle. Yup. A Skittle. I bet you don’t think its possible, but anything can bake in a car in Texas. I ran some errands on lunch and picked up a bag which I proceeded to leave it in my car. Me being as smart as I am saw them after work (3 hours later) and threw some in my mouth. It hurt. Other things that melt in Texas cars… chapstick, pens, and plastic Ted Baker bags. (The bag was actually way cool when it was melty. It was so and pliable. It cooled down and then got all stiff again. I also continue to burn my face on my sunglasses. You would think a girl would learn…

San Antonio… I like it but Im not in love. It’s a city, but it doenst feel like one. It feels like Buffalo. I remember when Sister lived in Buffalo I said I would never live somewhere that the driving was that busy… and here I am. I miss back country roads. More than I did in London. London was so exciting and I could hope on public transportation. Here its city but different. I need to walk the ranch more and feel like Im in the country.

I love having the dogs and cat here at the house with me. The cat is crazy. It sits in the sink to drink water, and eats my hair. She is actually chewing on it as I type. She sits behind me on the couch and chews my hair. The dogs and I are best buds. I give them treats so they like me. Its easy.

The World Cup is over. Its pathetic but I don’t know what Im going to do with my life now! It was something I loved that I could get into. I think I need to find a hobby (a cheap one) I don’t have a passion anymore and I need to find one.

My job… blah. There are some days/moment that I would rather be at Chaut. I know. Shocking. But Im telling people that their hours are charged to the incorrect code 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I miss Laurie and my pre-season CHQ crew. The phones kinda sucked, but I knew what I was doing, and got to hang out with awesome people. I do like the people at work. They make it good. Its just the job itself that is depressing.

Ok I am completely out of things to say. Perhaps my next post will be more exciting??

I miss you all!

The Morning Gods are Against Me

 

This morning was rough. Not the normal “I cant get up” rough, but a weird rough. I didn’t sleep last night. Shocker. It took forever to fall asleep and I kept waking up.  It didn’t help that every time I woke up I felt my softball wound stick to the sheets. Ewww. The dogs started barking at 5am… argh. I had a crazy dream about being in a cave and shooting wolves. Yeah. Shooting wolves. Not weird at all. Anyways so when my alarm went off I was just as tired as when I went to bed the night before. (ok FINE I admit.. I didn’t get up in time) I went to let the dogs out and they were CRAZY. They jumped all over and SPRINTED out the door as soon as I opened it. I hope that they had just seen a raccoon or something on the porch last night. That is what Im going with.

I walk in the bathroom and look in the mirror.. I have chocolate ALL over my face. All over. What is going on?? Then I remember I ate a piece of cake after I brushed my teeth last night (gross I know but I was hungry and lazy) So I wash my face, continue to get ready and go over to make my bed… there is chocolate EVERYWHERE. Not on my pillow where my chocolate covered face was, but at shoulder height. I look down, chocolate on my pjs. Wow. Seriously?

After I am chocolate free, dressed and ready to go I head out to the kitchen and write a note to the family saying that they can have a piece of cake. (I don’t need to get the entire thing) I wrote my note and my pen exploded. ALL over my hands. They are now (a very pleasant) blue. Both hands. Ok… I take the recycling down to the street and I kept feeling water hit my feet. Weird, but I couldn’t figure it out. I get to work and pull out my landyard… its SOAKED. The entire thing is wet. I LOVE putting soggy things around my neck. Especially when I don’t know what it making it wet. Such a Joy. I look in my bag on the back half (behind my planner) is soaking wet. No idea what from. I walk into work with a cold, clammy neck and my feet are hurting (so is the rest of my body by the way. Softball and walking has killed it) I look down only to discover that my flats are COVERED in stickers. It took me a solid 3 minutes to realize that I must have gotten then when I rolled out the recycling container (it lives in a patch of tall grass right inside the gate) Argh. I haven’t even dealt with them yet. I threw my heels on when I got to my desk and shoved the vicious things in the back corner of my desk.

Lasts night was fun! I went over to the family’s house and I beat my aunt and uncle home so I got to hang with my cousin for a bit. Then we were allowed to build Legos until dinner (I just re-read that and I sound like Im 5) We are building the Cinema set… omg so cool. I want the Parisan café SO badly!!!! Its all cute and French with little croissants. (Delee maybe you could buy it for your classroom and Ill assemble for you??) We then got distracted from building by surfing the Lego site and we wanted everything. They have some awesome sets (Tower Bridge, The Parisan Café, a Mini Cooper, and the Fairgrounds) I want all of those. The cinema is really cute though. And the Town Hall looks cool… I just need the entire city!

We hung out until dinner where I managed to fling my chicken across my plate, down my shirt and onto my shorts. I had a nice smear of BBQ down my front. Classy. Then it was off on our walk. My shoe rubbed my bandaid covered softball wound so it hurt the entire time. I ended up running/walking/running with my cousin. Nothing like a 10 year old to kick your butt into gear! After the run we got to finish the first book on the Lego set. It was fun building it with everyone. Oh and I tried my first grits… I like them!

This weekend will be busy busy. I have two parties at my house. Two. So that will be interesting. I have to clean my room and mow before they happen so tonight and tomorrow morning will be busy as well!

I miss you all! (CHQ Im thinking about you guys!)

Tired therefore Overwhelmed

I don’t feel like I have anything blog worthy to say, but I haven’t written in awhile and soon the hate mail will start coming in (ahem sister...) so here I am writing a post that can put everyone asleep.

It has kinda been another rough week. Mentally AND physically this time though. I have walked Monday, Tuesday with my aunt, and played softball (more on that to follow) last night so I am tired. I go to walk right after work (she feeds me... best deal ever) but that also means I am gone from 7am-8:30pm. I come home, shower and crash into bed. I haven’t gotten anything done. My to-do list grows longer everyday. I owe people messages, emails and phone calls. I am sorry if you are one of them… Im trying. Really. Oh and this weekend I wont have time to catch up on life because I have two parties at my house this weekend. (nope not for me.) When Im tired things seem overwhelming…

Why else was this week rough??... Oh none of my electronics are working. My computer is shot. I knew that coming home from London (two years ago), my cell is 5 hours ahead time wise (not all the time.. just randomly) my car (not an electronic I know…) needs to be registered, have new plates, is filthy (means I have to go through a car wash), AND needs an oil change. Seriously? Oh and I need a Texas license. Those aren’t free. GAH! I thought I could start saving money with my big girl job! Argh. Did I mention Im tired??? (therefore overwhelmed)

I officially had to give up my soccer team. I knew it was going to happen, but I was in complete denial. Sigh. It was hard. And still is. They are in good hands though.

Speaking of soccer… I have been getting a LOT of push back from losing respect for Germany. I didn’t think it was that controversial of a statement!!! Honestly having class should always happen, no matter what the level of play. And it’s the world cup… yes I get that, but that almost made it worse. Jared claims that Brazil quitting is worse that Germany continuing to shoot. We are agreeing to disagree. Dear Germany… you have been to the semi-finals many times. Act like it. They went a little far in their humiliation.

Oh I did get going on the children immigrant issue this week too.. but if I add that to this blog post it will be too much debate for one measley entry. So perhaps another time.

I need some down time. Still haven’t watched the Great Gatsby. Or Les Mis. Or eaten a Pizza Hut Buffalo Chicken Wing Pizza… which TEXAS DOESN’T HAVE. (if I am repeating myself, I apologize) The pizza huts down here are breaking my heart.

The house… is the reason I am so tired. (not 100% as I mentioned above that I run every second of the day) Im sleeping better… as of last night. But I was also so exhausted that Im not sure it counts. Im trying to get used to it again. Trying.

I FORGOT! Yesterday was my first day of WFH (work from home). It was weird. I LOVED getting out of bed, throwing on a tee, work out capris and didn’t brush my hair. Or put on makeup. It was glorious. I even made oatmeal for breakfast.  Extra glorious. It was weird though to be all alone in the kitchen working. I still had lync so I could chat with people, but I could turn around and chat. Very weird.. I did a lot of work so I was working, but it didn’t feel like I was working.  I got to make mac and cheese for lunch, and a cake on my lunch break. Oh and I filled the pool. I got stuff done on my break. It was awesome. And I gained an extra half hour after work because I was home at 4 instead of having to drive. So nice.

After my day working at home I headed out to our PCS Happy Hour. (ok I cant get used to that. It looks like Panama Central School is having a happy hour.) Here is where the day kinda goes wrong… I had a softball game after happy hour. Yeah… I haven’t played well at ALL. Palmer would be embarrassed by me and I wouldn’t make her team on a good night. The Sangria didn’t help my cause. I didn’t do anything horrible really… except right at the end when we are losing 23-10 (yup we pulled a Brazil) and I try to turn a full-fledged swing bunt (I swung and I basically bunted it) into a home run. Yeah.. I was golden for awhile. They over threw first and that means Im on third, but I decided to milk it and get home. I think I was safe because the guy was expecting me to slide, ( was expecting to slide either. Instinct just took hold) but the ump called me out. We were down by too much to fight him. So I have a scrape on my shin… a good one. And the top of my ankle is oozing liquids. Putting in the clutch rips it open every time. Argh.I am still missing Palmer at my softball games. After I do something stupid I try to think of what she would tell me becasue its way better than what my teammates tell me.

I miss you all.

Monday Already?

It feels like yesterday that I floated out of work, elated that I had three days of freedom. I dont know where those three days went! Friday started with an early morning workout session (speed walking without enough water in the Texas heat) and then it was straight off to July Fourth activites! Saturday was filled with shopping (at the outlets... even better!) I came home with some clothes and a Kate Spade purse! Today was a day of catch up... and I still havent caught up. I couldnt pay my bills because my pay hadnt been deposited yet.. and my computer has decided that it wants to cease existing. I have the blue screen of death. So frustating! Espeically since my up-to-date resume and cover letter template is on it and I was planning on tweaking it this weekend. Sigh. My phone is also deciding that it wants to difficult. Its internal clock is 5 hours ahead of central time. I have no idea what it is doing. I re-start and nothing happens, but then an hour later it is randomally ok again. What??!

Everyone moved out on me this weekend. It is weird to be alone again. Really weird. I had JUST gotten used to having everyone, and now its me, myself and I in this house. (I do have the dogs thank goodness... but no cat) Im trying not to have trouble honestly. And so far I have to keep reminding myself that I am fine. Sigh. I want everyone to come back :(

Tonight I went to Walmart to grab some things and decided that I needed some green in my life. I wandered out to the garden section and almost melted from the heat (its hot outside even at 7pm). I thought it was funny that you could buy catcus. Like real, life size, full grown catcus. The kind that go outside. They are ALL over the ranch! It was funny to me. I have never seen a full sized catcus in a pot. Just the mini ones (that mom still manages to kill) I found the orchids but it didnt seem like they were loving the Texas heat, and they were too much money so I picked out a Bonsai and named it Nigel. I have always wanted to name something Nigel, but am not sure that I could name an offspring that... so I gave it to a Bonsai. He seems happy in his home. Nothing like having to purchase a friend/company. Quite pathetic.

In an attempt to distract myself from this house, I watched a documentary on Hulu about the children of the Nazis. It was SO interesting. I haven ever heard anything about/from them before. There was a granddaughter of Goreing, grandson of Hoess, niece of Himmler, son of someone bad, and a daughter of Amon Goethe. It was all about how guilty they feel, and the daughter didnt understand what was going on when she was little so it was all about her story of realizing through the years of what her father did. Super interesting. The granddaughter of Goreing and her brother both sterlized themseleves so there wouldnt be another generation of Goreings. Intense. I watched it right before I went to Walmart which was silly because I wandered around thinking and kept having to backtrack to get things that I had forgetten. If any of you are bored watch Hitler's Children. Very thought provoking.

Im sorry that I did not blog on Wednesday. I was angry after my softball game. Yes its pathetic but I was angry. On a good note though... I have a cool jersey with my last name on it. That is pretty legit. I just wish that I could play like I used to. I dont know what is wrong with me. It looks like I have never played the sport before in my life. And I messed up my base running on Wed... that is my strong spot. Sigh. Also my batting glove that I wear under my fielding glove ripped. I was sad.. I have had it since my first day of Varsity... in eighth grade. Im having trouble throwing it away. (yes I am crazy)

I have more to say, but I am tired and it will take me a bit to fall asleep in this house so I need to head to bed. Ill write again soon.

I miss you all

Oh Buffalo...

I haven’t posted in awhile because I haven’t had any good stories… until this morning that is. Last Monday was a crap day, so in preparation of another potentially equally bad day I stopped at Starbucks for a coffee. I walked back out to my car, coffee in hand and singing in my head. I just put my hand on my car door handle when I heard a “Yo… YO!” What the… I look up and I HUGE black guy was sauntering towards me. Oh crap Im going to day (I say this because he was wearing a sleeveless cutout shirt, had tattoos everywhere , a solid 6+ feet tall with arms the size of my thigh and… I guess I did some racial profiling) Im just like “ummm hi..??” Below is the conversation... basically word for word. I sincerely hope that you all can tell what I said vs what he said so I don’t have to make a note of it… (disclaimer: sorry for the language)

“You from New York???””

“Yes…. But not the city” (again I was sterotyping)

“Where from then?”

“South of Buffalo… it’s a small town”

“Damn no way! Im from Buffalo! This is crazy!”

“Ohh… cool. Do you know of Jamestown?”

“SSSHHHIIITTT Sure do! My sister lives there! Right down by that community college. On E 2^nd St. Do you know where that is??”

“Yup… sure do. *Insert awkward pause. Ummmm… there are some good wings down there on 2nd”  (I had nothing else nice to say)

“Yeah by that baseball place. Damn good wings. And pizza. This shit be crazy. Small world right?”

“yes it is. Well I better head to work. Nice meeting you”

“Oh yeah yeah. You too. Most def. Shit… that be crazy” (and he waved and sauntered on his way)

I got in my car and just laughed… why me. I really need to change my plates on Lucy. It was too early for a strange encounter. Way too early.

 

Some more observations about Texas from a Western New Yorker’s point of view:

1.       Nowhere in the state of Texas is there a bottle of Hermann J. Wiemer’s Riesling. Nor is there a bottle of Dr. Konstantin Frank’s wine. Seriously? These Texans need to drink Finger Lake wine.  The good stuff.

2.       Everyone has a garage and… they don’t use it. (when I say everyone I mean EVERYONE except for 1 sane person in this town) I guess they don’t have snow… but still. It is odd to me. Lucy didn’t get a garage when I was home and I hated not being able to pull inside. I know there isn’t any snow down here, but there is SUN. Even in WNY the sun would bake Lucy, and its worse down here. Im baffled.

3.       I have seen a million and a half pickup trucks.. and no one wearing a cowboy hat. I am sad.

4.       I have eaten more Mexican food in 3 months then I have in my ENTIRE life. Im really not kidding at all. So much Mexican food. I am still craving a Buffalo Chicken pizza from Pizza Hut. I want to eat the entire Large pizza. (while watching the Great Gatsby)

5.       The movie theaters here are cool. (this should perhaps be limited to San Antonio as I have not seen a movie theater outside of the city). They let you put on your own butter flavoring on your popcorn AND they let you have unlimited refills on your pop. The machines are out in the lobby inbetween the theaters. Pretty cool.

6.       Texans complain about the heat as much as we complain about the snow.

7.       Im used to standing inside at work in the middle of June with pants and a sweatshirt and asking a co-worker “do you think its warm outside?” Down here that is just a stupid question (which I asked last week.)

 

I cant even explain how excited I am for the USA game tomorrow. I want them to win SO badly. Im nervous though… they only time they lost is when I didn’t wear my jersey, and tomorrow I cant wear my jersey to work. Oh dear :( I don’t know how I am going to do work for an hour either. No idea.

OK Im to tired to continue this tonight and I have other things to do. So… im going to stop. I have no other stories either. Tomorrow is flag football (blah) and Wednesday is softball… so Ill write when I can.

 

I miss you all.

Monday was Ridiculous and Tuesday Wasnt that Fun Either

Yesterday was ridiculous. Seriously. Nothing went right. Including the blog. My laptop has decided to cease performing its duties and just puts up the blue screen of death so I couldn’t write my blog last night. (not that I had a ton of time to do it anyways. But still. It was the straw on the camel’s back after the rest of the day)

It all started with pulling into Starbucks… It was then that I noticed that I didn’t have a wallet. Ok cool. But as I was digging to verify that I didn’t have the wallet I realized that I was also missing my water bottle, and my ipod. Score. This is going well. I did get to purchase coffee thanks to technology… I have the starbucks app so I just scanned my phone. Pretty awesome.

Work on Monday just plain old sucked. Just one of those days that the tasks are torture, one is in a stink pot of a mood, and the tasks are torture (I don’t know if I made it clear, but the tasks were torture) It didn’t help that in the afternoon (since I had forgotten my water bottle I had to use my cool world cup cup that Crystal had given me, but it didn’t have a lid) I dumped my full glass of water all over my desk. It really wasn’t that big of a deal, but it was just one more thing…. So I was grumpy. After work I knew I had to go grocery shopping so I could eat lunch on Tuesday… would have helped to have a wallet. So no grocery shopping after work for me. ARGH

So I just headed home, threw a burger down my throat, and went on my walk with the aunt. It was good! Not as hard as last time, except for right at the end. I love it because when we are done (its about an hour walk) we sit in the pool area for 30 mins to wait for swim practice to be over. The sweat literally pours out of my pores. Its gross, but also makes me feel like I worked out at the same time!

 As soon as I got home I grabbed my wallet and headed to HEB to grab some food for lunch. This redhead in Texas finally made a purchase that she should have made a month or two ago. I bought sunscreen. Not any old sunscreen…. I bought cool spray on (didnt know that was a thing), water proof (not resistant. BIG difference)  and wait for it…. Keep waiting…. Its 85 SPF. I was not aware that 85 existed. But I decided since I walk outside and burst into flames that I should get it. Bring it summer. Bring it.

It is now Wednesday… I have been writing this post over the last few days because I cant seem to find more than 4 minutes of free time at a time.  The cat hung out with me last night before bed. We are friends. Everyone is amazed it lets me pet her, but its really not that hard… you just have to be NICE to it. The poor thing gets tortured. She curled up with me and laid right on my laptop. I forgot how frustrating cats are in that regard. But she put her little head on my arm and draped her paw on my hand. I miss Fi-Fi. I want a kitten….

I woke up this morning in the same position that I remember falling asleep in and I couldn’t move. I was only half of wake so I slightly panicked, then I realized I really wasn’t paralyzed but was in fact perfectly fine. My limbs feel like lead today. Argh flag football kills me.

It was POURING on the way into work today. The kind of rain that everything is grey and you cant see in front of you. All you can see are the red running lights on the back of cars. Well…. NO ONE in the state turns their lights on in the rain?? What?? I looked it up today and “It’s not a state law in Texas, but local law enforcement suggests having headlights on when driving in the rain.” Suggests?? Really?? New York State is so much smarter than Texas. You can talk on your cell and drive down here too.  No texting thank goodness! But it is hard to see cars in the rain when they don’t have their lights on. Just pointing that out.

 This week has been rough so far. Argh. Busy Busy. Monday night was crazy, last night was football until 10:30 so I didn’t get to bed until 11:30, tonight is softball, tomorrow is a meeting/happy hour, and Friday cant come soon enough. Honestly all I want to do is sit and watch the Great Gatsby, then Les Mis, and eat an ENTIRE Buffalo Chicken Pizza from Pizza Hut while in my pjs and my hair on top of my head. I cant tell you how much I am craving that pizza. Its weird. Also its weird that I really want to watch the Great Gatsby. Oh and after I down the entire pizza, I would like a pint of Haagen-Dazs Tiramisu Gelato. I bought the tiny one for a dollar at HEB on Monday. It’s the closest I have been to Italy in a LONG time. It’s a little too sweet, but it is very good. Very gelato like.   

In a previous post, I mentioned that Crystal bought me a Texas flag (because they are EVERYWHERE) and I put it in a 7-Up bottle on my desk to be a “texan”. Well my parents read this thing apparently (shocker) and I received in the mail on Saturday… a New York State flag. Well played parents.. well played! Haha. According to mom it was tricky to find one (which helps to make my point!) But now I have a Texas flag and a NYS flag in my cube. (side note that I just thought of. No one says “texas state”. Do we say New York State because we have the city also? Idk maybe I am crazy) Dad wants me to tape up my flag so it waves over the sea of cubes… Not so sure I am that bold yet. :)

Ok now its Wednesday night.. I really cant seem to finish this post! I came home from work (late) and watched tv and decided I needed to walk or something. So I went on the treadmill for 30 mins (and 300 calories burned!) BUT I was really dumb. I was finally home alone and I haven’t had one of my signature dance parties in ages. So Im an idiot and started on WHILE I was walking on the treadmill. Lets just say Im extremely lucky to be alive… and so is my ipod. I dropped it while trying to save myself from flying off the treadmill (I was pulling a dance move) and my pod went FLYING off the treadmill and ripped my headphone out of my ears. Never again am I going to attempt a dance party on a treadmill. Lesson learned.

Im so tired and tomorrow is a LONG day. Ill try to write a post again soon. I miss you all.

Catching Up

The past weekend was busy. So busy. It was a lot of fun, just no time to chill really. Saturday morning I was up at the same time that I get up for work. On a Saturday. Gah. We were going to Kirsten’s swim meet and warmups were at 7 (didn’t have to be there for that) and it started at 8am. On a Saturday. Coffee was a necessity.  Not a want. A need. She swam well and destroyed the competition so it was fun to watch. Oh and in this summer rec swim thing… they start at 6 or something like that so these tiny little kids were swimming a length of the pool. Oh my goodness… adorable. They were tiny in their little cap and googles.

After the swim meet Jared and I went to the Matisse exhibit at the San Antonio Museum of Art. It was good. I have to remember that I have been terribly spoiled and every museum is not the Borghese, Louvre, or Met.  For a museum of its size, it was well done and had 4-5 rooms of his work. He isn’t my absolute favorite, but it was good to see some art. We checked out the rest of the museum after which has some good pieces. They have a Joshua Reynolds in their “european” collection (which I think consists of 4-5 paintings!) But a Joshua Reynolds was pretty impressive. It made me miss art. A lot.

The family had friends over for dinner so we hung out with them ate, and watched 3 ten year olds in the pool for a few hours. It was a busy non-stop day. I feel asleep in my clothes at 9:30 on top of my bed, and woke up the next morning.

Sunday I had to get up earlier that I did on Saturday because I was tagging along with the family to go to the swim meet. Warm ups were at 730 but it was a further drive so we had to leave at 7. Phew I was tired. The swim meet was a short one (it went til 1030 or so) so I was home for lunch, a shower, quick laundry (had to wash my USA jersey), took a nap and went to watch the USA game. It was another busy day! I came home right in time to go to bed and get up for work on Monday. Phew!

The game went something like this…. Me pacing and eating ice… me freaking out and jumping around… me sitting with my head in my hands groaning. What a heartbreaking game. Yes they are still in and should move on, but come on. WE WERE ADVANCING and blew it. The entire time that I am pacing and freaking out, Jared is SHOPPING online and not paying any attention to the game. Everytime I said “did you see that?!” he said “No.. I wasn’t looking” REALLY??? So I was dying alone.  All my other teams are out. England… Italy… have both broken my heart. USA is my last time standing which I NEVER saw coming. 2 weeks ago I would have said Italy would be my last team standing! Im shocked!

That was my weekend! Phew! I need a vacation!

I miss you all!
