The Week So Far…

I make a whole big statement about starting to post again and then promptly get felled by an epic bronchial infection that has had me flat on my ass all week. Typical.  Anyhow, I’m slowly starting to come out of it now so I’m going to try again! There’s the bulk of a week to catch up on so I’ll do a drive by.

International Recap

My original plan was to give you a daily recap of the international break. That obviously did not happen. But I do have some goodies after the jump.

Back To Training, Videos, Kisses, Egos & Confusing Transformations

The team, like my heart, must go on even after the absolute clusterfuckery of Saturday’s performance. Or lack thereof.

MyGypsySpirit: What a tournament it has been! I can’t remember a tournament that has been quite as exciting as this. Granted, I have a terrible memory. But the consensus has been pretty outstanding. This was one of the best World Cups in anyone’s memory.

Updated: It’s (More Or Less) Official: Kaka To MLS

In a move that will keep our dear Shigs out of the state of Florida for the forseeable future, Kaka has rescinded his contract with AC Milan and is heading to Orlando City.

World Cup 2014 – Bits & Bobs: Ads, Anthems & More

Ah, I’m finally getting a chance to sit down and write a post! It’s been a hectic day. I saw this great ad that Visa with Nobel Laureates and just had to share.

Happy Birthday Kaka!

“Hi Shigs! Do you miss me yet?!”

Just because I’m evil and it will annoy Shigs, there’s no way I’m going to forget Kaka’s 32nd birthday! Feliz cumpleaños to our favorite potential serial killer. 😉

Two Trainings, A Presser & The Roadkill On Sergio’s Head

Seriously, what the HELL is that on his head?

Sorry for my absence yesterday. I packed Shiggers & Max the cat in a rental car and drove through a total of 3 boroughs and 3 states.

Get A Room Already! (Also: Training)

So, do you think Gareth has asked him to the prom yet?

I’m guessing yes.  G-Money just fangirls so incredibly hard, it’s pretty hilarious.  Bless.

Tuesday Training Time (With Bonus Plotting!Kaka)

“I can’t wait for my next trip to New York.  Hi Shigs!”

I’ve been home sick with a nasty stomach bug, which finally seems to be going away but when I saw this shot, my stomach hurt for another reason – I couldn’t stop laughing imagining Shigs’ reaction to this. Poor Shiggers. She’s going to have an absolute fit when she sees Plotting!Kaka. This photograph made my day.
