Fourth Game and Counting...

So, I'm sitting here watching my fourth World Cup 2006 match... I've seen the first four games so far, with my fifth coming up in a couple of hours. I'm anticipating watching most of the games - when in Europe, do as the Europeans -and most of the rest of the world - do. I do enjoy soccer very much, actually. I missed it when I was in the States on furlough. Let's see... right now Trinidad and Tobago is playing Sweden. I watched England beat Paraguay, Germany beat Costa Rica, and Ecuador beat Poland. I was quite devastated by the Polish lost. My people need to get their act together. I'm looking forward to Croatia's first game on Tuesday, and I think Serbia and Montenegro play their first game Sunday. It will be weird to cheer for the US when they play because I'm so used to cheering for Bosnia or Croatia at sporting events. But cheer I will - I'll even pull my little American flag out and wave it to my heart's content. Maybe I'll have an American food night as well - buffalo wings, here I come.

Wow, this Sweden/Trinidad game is by far the best one yet!

I did something very cool today. I ordered groceries on-line and had them delivered!! I've been wanting to try it just for fun as one of the stores here in town offers the service. I went out shopping today, and the store I went to didn't have Skoobi's food - so... I got on-line and had 9 kilos delivered to my door... along with some chicken for me :) That is going to come in quite handy during the winter!! The really nice thing is you can pay cash when the guy gets here so I don't have to worry about my CC info getting stolen or anything. Sometimes Bosnia really does have it's act together.

Aargh... Trinidad just hit the goal post... darn... I'm rooting for them... the score is still 0-0 in the 59th minute... and Trinidad is down a guy do to a red card - go T&T!!!!

Most of you shoud know my big news about leaving IT and having my church be my sender to Bosnia. I'm excited about it. I think it's going to be a really great thing. If you didn't receive an email about it, and you don't have my new email address, email me at my old one and I'll get you all caught up to date.

OK, well, I need to go make supper. I'm debating between the chicken that was delivered to my door or a packet of instant oatmeal... sigh...

Still 0-0 in the 69th minute...
