More sports squeakings
Wow. I had an amazing day yesterday - every single team/person I wanted to win in a particular sport, did. *blinks* I don't think that's happened to me in a while, if ever! In fact, I've been on a losing streak for ages, particularly in the tennis but yesterday's Women's Singles Final was the closest to a sure thing I've ever seen and I wasn't wrong. Henin demolished Kuznetsova in straight sets, pretty much as everyone predicted.
So those wins in full:-
Leeds Utd
England (football, rugby AND cricket)
Mets
Federer
Henin
Hee! Mind you, it won't last. The Dolphins start the NFL season today (ahahaha) and I sorta want Djokovic to beat Federer at the US Open and I can't see that happening.
But the absolutely BEST thing today is my beloved Pedro Martinez is pitching for the Mets. He's been out for nearly a year after rotator cuff surgery, which isn't something pitchers come back from easily. This will be his second start and hurrah, it's an early game so I can watch! *beams*
Ah luvs ma sports, can you tell? :)
In other more serious news....The second Sweet Charity auction of the year is up and running from today. We've ALREADY raised £832 and it's only the first day. *blink blink* 206 fabulous people (I'm excluding myself) have signed up to offer goodies of a remarkable variety. Want a set of icons? A fic about your fave show/movie? Perhaps a beautiful poster or wallpaper for your PC? Cookies? Tarot readings? Writing advice? Code? Something knitted and awesome? You name it, people are offering it.
We are once again raising for RAINN, who were thrilled to have us back raising for them again. Can't think why, couldn't be the £5756.30 we raised last time around. Noooooooo....! :D Anyway, oh flist of mine, please go and take a look at the page and see if there's something you'd like to bid on. It's for a fantastic cause and it's lots of fun! The auction runs until September 22nd. Please go look! Thanks!

We're gonna break a £1000 on the first day at this rate!
Clearly, I need to invest in a thesaurus, I appear to be all out of words for "flail" and "squeaky glee" :P
