Lazy Saturday

Of course the team I would support in football would lose. Really Spain, really? that was an embarrassing loss, and to the Netherlands too. Needless to say my family would not let me off the hook the entire next day for choosing such a bad team. Hah, as if Germany or Uruguay will ever win. But we'll see...as a completely objective third party, I hope Spain wins the World Cup hehe.

So it's Saturday and I have another whole day to do nothing; it's very exciting. The household tradition is to eat a special rice for brunch called kichadi bhaat. It's yellow rice with corn and peas. As most of you know, I'm not a fan of rice in general, so it wasn't a pleasant surprise to find out that this was the meal I would be eating first thing in the morning. Yuck. So I politely asked for some bread and jelly, and said that I would eat the rice for lunch. I tried, I really did, but a human being can only eat so much rice. Brunch is my favorite meal of the day, it's a time for quiche, pancakes, waffles, muffins, fruit, yogurt, smoothies, omelets...a.k.a. anything but rice.

With that crises averted and no ones feelings hurt, I had the rest of the day to do as I pleased. How do I choose to spend this time you ask? I decided to watch some more episodes of Sherlock. It is honestly one of the best shows ever, and I highly recommend it, as I am obsessed haha. After the episode, my older baihya and I blasted rock music, as we debated who was the greatest band ever Eagles, Pink Floyd, or the Beatles. It was fantastic and such a relief from the mainstream top 20 obsession that seems to be prevalent with those of my generation. Yes Nayyirah, I'm talking about you...and don't you dare suggest One Direction is that greatest band ever, or I might just have to disown you (I'm only kidding...sort of :p).

I spent some more time playing with my two favorite little trouble makers. Unfortunately their mother was present today, so they acted completely differently. I really don't enjoy children when their parents are around. Their demeanor changes completely, as they become more whiny, needy, and irrational....well relatively speaking of course. Nevertheless, I chased them around the house pretending I was a dinosaur about to eat them (a game that is extremely popular with my kids at the children's school). Should you every find yourself to be surrounded by little boys, there is nothing like a game of chase to keep them immediately occupied and wear them down for their afternoon nap.
 
It was a perfect and much needed lazy "Sunday."

Much love,
