Whew, it's been a tough week, both at work and on the home front.  The weekend is coming up and I'm hoping I'll get to relax some.  Just a little would be nice.  But it's probably not going to be case, since I got a ton of stuff to do, Christine is under the weather, and different relatives are  coming on both Saturday and Sunday.

Anyway, kind of excited that the FIFA Women's World Cup Soccer (Football to the rest of the world) is entering its quarter finals.  Unlike the men's team, the USA team is one of the best in the world.  Tomorrow we'll go up against England.  While by history the USA is better than England, it should be an exciting game because apparently England is really strong this year while the USA is not putting in 100% for some reason.  The only bummer is that it's 5am Pacific time, which means I'll have to record it and watch it when Alex has gone to sleep on Saturday night.  I'll just have to make sure to not see the score during the day.

Another thing on TV that both Christine and I have been following is Top Chef.  I know that harrysmom  watches it.  Anybody else likes it?

And finally, just for heck, here's the letter meme that's been floating around my flist:

*Use the 1st letter of your name to answer each of the following...

*They have to be real places, names, things...nothing made up!

*Try to use different answers if the person in front of you had the same
1st initial. You CAN'T use your name for the boy/girl name question. (It is harder than you think.)
