Geared Up For The World Cup

The countdown to the 2010 FIFA World Cup is almost over!  In a few short days, football fans the world ‘round will rejoice and station themselves in front of the telly, while the snacks and booze flow. 

While I’m not the most dedicated football fan around, I couldn’t possibly root for any team other than England between 11 June and 11 July 2010.  It will be especially fun to egg on my flatmates.  You see, we’re an international bunch—a detail that might prove to be (exciting, scary, hilarious?) in the month to come as we cheer on our respective teams.

First off we have Alice,* our resident American expatriate, who will be weeping in defeat after Saturday’s match.  As if they have a chance against England!

My Boyfriend’s Beach Body

Okay so the title is a little deceiving for two reasons:

2) My ex-boyfriend didn’t exactly have a beach body.

Not to completely discredit the bastard (I’m not really that bitter, I swear), he was attractive enough and well-toned. But sometimes a girl likes a little more…bulk.

My girlfriends and I recently got to gabbing about getting into shape for summer, and my only friend currently with a boyfriend (let’s just call her Nancy) decided to start working out with him as extra motivation for them both.  It turns out he’d been wanting to get in shape for a while as he’s not exactly the most athletic specimen of man, so he checked out MaxiMuscle for inspiration and advice.

Lucky for him they’ve got an “8 Weeks to a Beach Fit Body” training and

Treat Your Pets and Spare Your Wallet
