little bitty girl

Now, how often does someone say that?

Probably not at all. Stefan and I had a busier weekend than expected. I am not sure why, but for some reason I thought I was going to have a very chilled out weekend. It's one of the few weekends where Stefan doesn't have a footy (Aussie rules, not American) game.

However, my dream of a lazy weekend was not to be due to unexpected invites to go to have "a drink" at a patio, Lia's birthday party at the Biermarket and the World Cup Final celebrations. Here are some thoughts -

Why is "one drink at the patio" never just one?

I am no longer a spring chicken and cannot go out drinking (albeit moderately) for four nights in a row. I didn't get a single hangover but I now feel generally unhealthy and will have to wander over to Juice For Life, and get a Liver Flush.

I really need to figure out how to fix my ridiculous tan lines.

I love that Toronto is so multicultural. There is never avoiding the World/Euro cup.

I am glad that we were in the "French" area rather than in the two "Little Italy" neighbourhoods. The insanity would have been too much for me to take after such a hectic weekend and intense game. You can see how mad those areas got, by clicking here.

There are most likely a lot of Italians who have called in sick today because of all the reveling.

In my heart of hearts, I knew Italy was going to win. I just wasn't allowed to say it out loud since Stefan had a double or nothing bet with an Italian friend of his.

I've been asking several Italians why their uniforms are blue even though there is no blue in their flag. So far, no one has been able to give me an answer that has made any sense. Anyone out there know the answer to this?
