World Cup Fanatic

When I was in high school, I had an Italian boyfriend who played soccer and LOVED soccer. I probably went to one of his games all through school. It just wasn't my deal. I believe he liked AC Milan, but with all those different Italian soccer teams I can't really remember 15 years later (ugh, has it really been that long?).

Now that I have no job, I'm ALL about watching the games live. I'm all about it. This morning for example, I woke up, watched Adoption Stories, played spider solitaire for a bit, and then at 8:55, I was plunked down on the couch watching Spain beat the Ukraine. The score was 4-0. What is wrong with me? I would never think to sit and watch 3 soccer games basically in a row. But, I have to say, it has really been fun to watch. I think I like it because the players are good. High school players suck. Those men are SO good with their feet, and have such control of the ball, it's ridiculous. I can't even imagine. Some of them are pretty good looking too. I understand what it's like being old and liking people that are young. They mention that one guy is say 23, and I'm like 'oops. That's a little young for me, but he can slide tackle me anyday! I wouldn't even give him a yellow card.' hee hee.

Unfortunately, the US plays Italy on Saturday afternoon, and I have a scheduled ride to go on, so I'll miss the match, but someone I know has Tivo. *wink wink* so I'll catch the highlights.

What else can I share...that's basically my life. Payday's tomorrow, and I get my last check. Woohoo! Hope everyone's doing well. I'm trying to check in with everyone, but it's taking me a bit. It's too nice to be sitting at the computer (I mean, watching soccer). HA!!HA!!
