4 Mai 2010; 11.37: A great deal of my day was spent unwrapping, peeling, and sticking FIFA World Cup 2010 stickers into an official FIFA Sticker Buch. I wish I could say that this was for children, but alas, it was my own doing, for my own enjoyment. Hey, I can’t help it if I’m a sucker for licened football memorabilia and get slightly addicted to collecting, and the gambling nature of spending 60 cents on a packet which may or may not have the player you need. For the record, I bought 20 packets and only got 4 England players, 3 German players (my husband Philipp Lahm being one of them), and 2 USA players. But don’t you fret, I have almost the complete Ghana team.
Challenge of the Day: An illness has been making it’s way around the house starting with the middle child and housekeeper, and has now spread to the eldest, and possibly me as well. Though, it is better that we get sick this week as next week he’s off to Asia with the parentals for 10 days and I’m off to Budapest to reunite with my best friend in the entire world whom I haven’t seen in over a year. Dear sickness, have your way with me now so as I can be full of health and 10 lbs lighter by next Friday. kdanketschüss.
German Word of the Day: Sucht - addiction, what I already have to these football stickers.
