Today is the first day of the World Cup soccer match and though normally, I wouldn't care, living in Europe creates a manic soccer ferver that is sort of addicting. That, and we have friends in town who are eager to see the match.
A would-be simple soccer watching evening turned into musical houses because us girls who are normally quite organized, relied on texting. Huh. Note to self: don't text and think. Doesn't work. That is one generation gap that I can't quite traverse.
So we went over to Michelle's house to watch the second match, missed it, ate appetizers and drank cava there, moved the entire production back to my house, kids and all, for dinner (Laura made spinach and salmon lasagna), then we returned to Michelle's for tiramisu and the Uruguay/France game which ended 0/0.
The kids haven't quite caught on to the football fever yet, hence the ear-splitting version of Abba's Waterloo pictured above. I could post a video... you can thank me now that I didn't.

Quotes to consider...
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
-Albert Einstein
What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose."
-- Henry Ward Beecher
It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. -- Anthony Robbins
We don't stop playing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop playing. -- George Bernard Shaw
An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered. -- GK Chesterton
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
For most of history, Anonymous was a woman. -- Virginia Woolf
A friend is someone who will help you move. A real friend is someone who will help you move a body. -- anon
The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory. -- Paul Fix
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone … The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. ~Audry Hepburn
I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it. -- Thomas Jefferson
