Kabaddi kabaddi kabaddi!

I was sitting with my dad the other day watching dad-ish channels like the news and the national sports channel when something made me snap out of my cupcake daydreams and sit up attentively.  The Kabaddi World Cup.  My first reaction was "Whaaaaaaaat???" and the next one after that was "Whyyyyyy?".  For those of you who don't know what Kabaddi is, it's a sport played primarily (or so I thought until that day) in Pakistan, India, and maybe a few other countries that share borders with these two.  World Cup, however, implies more than just a few countries from a subcontinent, and sure enough I saw Australia, USA, Canada, Italy, Germany, and Spain among others on the list of teams participating this year.  More shocking was the news that USA had beaten the Pakistani team.  Actually it's not that shocking when you think about it, given the number of embarassing situations Pakistani sports teams have been getting into lately *cough*stupidcricketcheats*cough*.  If you want more information on Kabaddi and why exactly I'm so surprised that Italians are playing it right now, then get educated about the sport here.

Okay I have to go and bake some pink velvet cupcakes and finish decorating the other two birthday cakes I've made for my daughter's early birthday celebration tonight.  I'll post pictures for sure, so check back soon!
