Home Sweet Home

I love Bank Holidays! We stayed in and relaxed all day and I got quite a bit of cross stitching done.

As you can see in the picture Pazzesca also enjoys having a day off to play around. She spent a good 10-15 minutes chasing her own tail. She was rolling around and flipping from side to side. Thankfully she showed she was smarter than a dog as she never started running around in circles. When she would catch her own tail she gave it a couple of licks and then let go of it to start the whole chase over. Crazy cat.

Have you noticed the date countdown up in the title? This is day 335 out of 365! I can not believe we have been over here now for 11 months... it does not seem possible.

Today we had Wigan at home. There are a couple new faces in the squad and they made their debut today. In the above picture you can see Sylvain Distin. He is the taller guy walking toward the camera. He is our new defender and in my opinion will fill the role Lescott left very well if not better.


In the above photo you can see Diniyar Bilyaletdinov (just call him Billy) who just arrived from Russia. Do you see the three footballers in the picture? He is the one in the middle facing the camera. He is 24 years old but to me he looks so much younger. Plus practising with Marouane Fellaini (left) and Jô (right) makes him look even smaller as they are both pretty tall.

The match was great, we ended up winning 2-1. We won on an injury time penalty and it was a very happy scene at Goodison Park. We dominated for most of the match but it seemed like nothing was going to hit the back of the net. We deserved the win after our performance so I am glad we came out of the match with the 3 points.

It's an International break next weekend so no football... seems like it just started and we are already taking a break. Ugh!

I have started a new cross stitch project today. Hopefully I will get quite a bit done since it's a Bank Holiday weekend. Yippee!!

We do have an Everton match tomorrow but I will have all day Monday and I have Wednesday off so I will get even more done then.

Once I am finished with it I will show off my hard work.

This unexpected light almost made us late for work today! It stayed on red f-o-r-e-v-e-r. Thankfully they were done with the work by the time we made our way home so the light has now been removed.

Andy, James, Tracey and I were all going to go see The Final Destination in 3D tonight but when we got to the movie theater the 9pm and 11pm showings were both already sold out. We ended up seeing Funny People instead and it was a very good movie. There was some pretty strong language in it but since it is about stand up comedians this is understandable. All in all I am glad we saw it... Monday is a Bank Holiday so we have a three day weekend ahead of us. Yay!
