House on Red Corner

I wish I had Your Job!

This morning I woke up after only a couple hours of sleep with a nasty stubbed toe that was turning black and covered in sweat. It seems when the first hot weekend hits the Northeast everyone turns on their A/Cs at once and finds out that they need to call a repairman. In our defense, we just bought the house, it was just renovated, so normal people would make the assumption that a brand new installed A/C would work right!?! wrong. so we are waiting until Tuesday afternoon when our guy will be free to come fix our A/C. Oh well.

I was going to let the toe be my excuse for why I should skip my first day going to the Gym, but soon realized that that would be a mistake, so Bubby and I went. I worked out for a little while, and she played in the play room. Then on the way home, we stopped at the playground where she ran around the sprinklers. Sprinklers, now that’s a heat relief strategy! After a while we made it home and had some lunch while I put on the telly.

Now, you may not know this, but International Football Tournaments are my favorite televised event, ever. I love the month long look at the National teams battling it out just for the honor of winning. I made sure that I was going to be able to watch the World Cup while on my honeymoon two years ago- and we did it in another country which makes it even more fun! Now the European Cup is taking place. On that honeymoon, both Steph and I were pulling for France to beat Italy in the final- alas we did not get the sweet success. I have cheered for the Nederlands for a long time, as my surrogate homeland (no idea how surrogate or homey it is towards me but whatever!) and today the Nederlands handed Italy and big plate of embarrassment [3 goals to none!]

Afterwards, TheBubster and I went to the local pizza parlor to celebrate, and I was going to gloat as well, but turns out they are Greek so this will be an interesting month here in Inman Square! (Greece won the last EurpoCup for those of you not keeping score at home.)

One of my friends who monitors my Twitter stream, noticed what my day was like and felt quite envious and not twenty minutes later, TheWife also wanted my job. Funny how noone wants my job on days that do not go quite this nicely.
