Fun with Soccer...

After recovering....mostly....from the whole "World Cup loss"-thing, I've decided to post some pictures of our awesome, fun times at the Bavarian Inn...

On your left, AJ and I enjoy some beverages while watching the match... Please note AJ's left cheek. The facepainting of different German symbols in all the following pictures were done by me... (With the exception of MY cheek, which was done by AJ...)



Mary (in picture on the right) looks a little worse for wear...This was due, in part, to Uncle Wayne who came in and provided several drinks...and in part, to Ben the Bartender who provided a constant flow of JaegerMeister shots.....








Ahhhhh... The "Chest Eagle"... The crowning achievement of my facepainting career!... Only to be brought out in times of emergency -- like during the commercial break before the penalty kicks... It's magical!

SEA... I plan to be sleepless there...

So yes, I did just use the abreviation for SEA because I spelled it out (Seattle) and it doesn't look right.. but I have no plans to click the "spell check" button... so I shortened it. The point is: I am GOING TO ... THERE!!!... WOooooooo!!!! For Thanksgiving!! I'm leaving (on a plane!) Tuesday night, and coming back Saturday night! GOOD TIMES WILL BE HAD!!! And although I know no one reads this but, pathetically, me... I'm super-excited, and wanted it to be well-known throughout the world.

Mr.B.'s going to be flying out there to see his sister, so I won't have to fly alone - which is really ever my only big hang-up about visiting people far away... and now - problem solved!! AND we're leaving for the airport from his friend in Chicago's house... so he's driving down there - another problem I don't have to worry about! Pretty awesome. I wish tomorrow was Tuesday.

More specifically, I wish tomorrow was the Tuesday before Thanksgiving... I'm pretty much dying here until then... So perhaps, until the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, I'll be "Sleepless in Racine"... but I'm not sure even Meg Ryan could stay awake in this boring armpit of a town... (sigh)

Love you, Seattle...Miss you Liz Webb...Mr.B. and I will be there soon!
