Let the Madness Begin...

It's that time again. That's right folks, it's time for March Madness. I do love this time of year. I always have and probably always will. You know spring is starting when your TV is monopolized by 65 college basketball teams each shooting for the stars to reach that enviable goal... NCAA Div. 1 National Champion. I love March Madness. I think it started when I was just a little girl. My dad always watches the tournament and when I was around 5 or 6, I asked "Daddy, why do always cheer for the teams that lose?" To this day, BYU hasn't won more than a game in the biggest tournament of the year. For those of you who care, my final four this year consist of Texas, Memphis, Illinios and Florida (who I think will win again). I am still rooting for Gonzaga though. How can you not cheer for a team called Gonzaga? Tough call though, they're up against Indiana in round one. Those Hoosiers are pretty feisty. The bad part of the tournament this year....I'll be in class for most of it. Boo.

It's a new Grey's Anatomy on Thursday! Yay. Apparently, Cristina's old professor comes into town and they once had a "relationship". Should be entertaining. Grey's has a habit of really lightening the mood after a few "darker" episodes. And almost killing Meredith and then killing her mom off definately qualifies as dark. So I'm looking for lots of sarcastic humor this week.

It snowed last night. We had no snow. Not even one unmelted snowflake in my yard when I got home last night. Then I wake up (late) this morning, get ready to go in a mad panic, tell Cassidy, yes, she can wear a skirt as long as she wears tights, put my strappy sandals on and walk out the door. Lesson #1: Even if you're in a hurry to get ready, do take the 10 seconds and look out the window before getting dressed. Cassidy and I both had to change and then I spent 10 minutes brushing the foot of snow off my car. It snowed so much that it actually took 10 minutes to brush all the snow off my car. Cassidy cried when she saw all the snow. She is "so tired of all the icky snow and all she wants to do is wear a pretty dress to school." And I just washed my car on the weekend. It is now a slushy, dirty mess outside again. Sometimes Calgary weather is frustrating. But hey, if you don't like it, wait 5 minutes and it'll change.

Anyone watch The Amazing Race? I was quite disappointed Rob and Amber got eliminated. I love those two. They crack me up. Yeah, he's a tiny bit manipulative, but it's not like he's that smart. The people he manipulates are just that stupid. Oh well, my life will go on.

Ummmmmmmm... what else is going on? Not much, I guess. Cassidy got her report card this week and she has improved substantially. I'm quite proud of her. I went shopping the other day and bought her Peter Pan. Not as a bribe to do well in school, but because I love Tinker Bell. Quite the attitude on that cute little pixie.

K, time for me to go and wade through all the mucky slop so I can get my nice cream pants dry cleaned again. Ick.

I am soooo tired of the icky snow myself. All I want to do is wear a pretty dress too. lmao. I don't care about basketball but I'm sure it is all I'm going to hear about from my friend Shawn all month long (I'm assuming it's a month long thing).

It's actually over on April 2, so it's only a few weeks. and only on weekends so it's not too bad.
