MARCH MADNESS BABY!

It is once again one my favorite times of the year! I don't have any BBall pics really so I picked this cat because I think he means business! Go figure that I pretty much hate cats yet have used them twice in my posts. My Dad was stuck in a house with 6 girls, and somehow he lucked out and got us all hooked on sports. College basketball is definitely no exception! We all have our brackets (usually 3 each) that we will all converse with each other on and compare our pics. You can never have just one bracket that would just be silly! It's also great when I can go home during this time because my Dad will have 3 tv's going all next to each other so that nothing is missed. Of course thanks to the magic of DVR no free throw is left unaccounted for! This was a sad year and out of pure respect I like to put U of A going through to the Magic 8 round, but I just could not do it this year. Ok well in my 3rd bracket I did. (I can't help it) I have had several upsets already and I'm quite put out (GONZAGA!), but my top teams are still hanging in or haven't played yet. I'm hoping to go down to Safford next weekend and watch the sweet 16 with my family! There's nothing like eating chips n dip/salsa, drinking soda or water in my case and yelling/cheering for you pics! Well that's about all I have going on in my neck of the woods!
I would also like to post a special congrats to Debbie on finally having her baby! I'm not sure if Yvonne has had her baby or not, but I would like to give her a big congrats as well as a big happy birthday to baby Elise! That baby girl is going to grow up with a designer bag in one hand and some sort of ball in the other!

You have to cheer for UofA no matter how bad they are. I thought it would be pretty cool for them to win this year with the big L.O. not even around to coach!

I have seen the brackets! I think it is great to always have a few possibilities. That way you can never be too wrong! Congrats to Debbie too... You know I am going to have to take credit for bringing up the name Laynee :)

We just read your post and had to laugh out loud! You know us so well. Tonight for FHE we are watching the big game! Hope all is well.

Oh yeah, and we love "Flight of the Conchords." Have you listened to most of their stuff? Humans are dead??
