Ringing In The New Year: Baller Style

How did some of our faves ring in the New Year? Well, Marcelo started by posting this, but had to share quite a few more pictures.

Bitsy Bobsy – Part I

I have not done a bits & bobs round up in over a month. I’ve been stockpiling pictures like crazy. That was the plan this weekend, but it didn’t exactly work out. Anyhow, Chori is indoctrinating his boy Romeo into the sports world!

He’s Gone, Oh I, Oh I, I Better Learn How To Face It And More

The Double As, as they were meant to be. Ah, it fills me with such sadness! Alvaro posted this with the caption (excuse the approximate translation: “Do not strive to make your presence noticed but your absence felt. Yours is going to be felt a lot. I wish all the best to the 5! See you soon, brother!” and then he added ” In bocca al lupo!!” which is Italian for ‘best of luck‘ WAH!

Sunday Bits & Bobs: Part I

And now we’re on to the first of the evening’s bits & bobs posts. Here’s Albiol with his girls. Look at how Alma is looking adoringly up at her papi. Alicia must be due any day now.  I can’t wait to see their baby boy. I’ll miss this family if they head off to Napoli but just as with Calleti, I will keep track of them.

Updated: Sunday Bits & Bobs, Part I

Okay, by opening with this Kaka in China shot, I’ve just assured that Shigs will not read the post ever. Girl, think of it as ripping off the Bandaid quickly. There’s more Kaka within, but I’m getting it out of the way first.

This is what happens when you basically take a weekend off from posting. Tonight will be a two post mammoth bumper crop of photos. Please bear with me as its more or less a photo dump. The weather here is too bloody hot and I’m too tired to do much more. All I can say is thank god for air conditioning otherwise, I’d be a puddle on the floor somewhere. Without further ado here’s A-L of the Bits & Bobs! (Updated to add pictures of Enzo, Guti, Antonella & Thiago. Please note Guti has a terrible hat on. Enzo does not)

4th of July Bits & Bobs

Toby Holden West donned his 4th of July finery and what better way to start this holiday post? For all of my fellow Americans, I hope you had a great day. Me? I had a day of epic sloth to make up for how chaotic things have been lately. I turned down every invite I got and spent the day enjoying some much needed alone time reading & watching movies. IT. WAS. BLISS. Back to work tomorrow though.

Monday Bits & Bobs: Bebes, Daddies, Vacation Time

Yesterday was Father’s Day and many of our faves posted tributes. Carlota posted this great shot of little Raul with his binky that says his papa is the best.

Updated: Bits & Bobs: Icky Mouse, Deafening Fangirl Screams & More

I know Shigs would take one look at all these pictures of Kaka with America’s favorite rodent and say “Icky Mouse” as sure as I’m standing here.  Speaking of, I had a lovely time with with watishistas Shigs, P, forzasusan & Baby Girl last night at the Spain vs. Ireland game. It was a drive by for me. I pretty much arrived and hit my seat right before the national anthem and tore out of there right after. Week night games suck.  Ireland did a great job much to the delight of forzasusan. I spent a lot of time sneaking peeks at Nando bitchfacing non-stop on the bench.  He did bust out a big grin and a hug for Robbie Keane though.

Updated: A Few Quick Bits & Bobs

Arbeloa, I know you love me because you’re wearing a Brooklyn Nets jacket. It’s your secret shout out to me and I thank you. Don’t worry, darlin’, I won’t let any one know of our love. WHOOPS!
