March Madness

March Madness officially began last week and I love it. This year we had tickets to the 1st and 2nd rounds of the tournament, so my dad and step mom made the trip from Montana. Watching the games in person is so much better than watching on TV. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if Arizona had played here, but I was just happy they made into the tourney at all. Friday night I watched the girls so Becky could go to some games too. But I also just wanted a chance to see Arizona play and that wasn't going to happen on my dad's little TV in the Taco Bell Arena. Its fun having the grandparents in town, Lindsey sure loves her grandma and grandpa. Saturday was even nice enough to take the girls to the park. It's always wonderful when family comes to town. Here's to hoping Arizona can keep it together long enough to keep their winning streak alive.

It's Here!!!!!!!

About a month ago my friend sent me a chain letter. I suppose I have probably racked up about 9 years bad luck in my lifetime of ignoring chain letters. Huh, maybe I should stop breaking them. Anyway this chain letter seemed too fun to pass up, it's an informal book club. You send a form letter to 6 friends and in return you hopefully receive 36 back. You don't have to go out and buy a book you just share one you enjoyed with the person at the bottom of the letter. Yada, yada, yada.

My first book came in the mail today! It was like Christmas I was so excited. I had to prepare for my class tonight and make dinner before hand. It took all I had not to plop down on the couch and immediately start reading.

I sent my 6 letters to my girlfriends I already know love books as much as me. So if you didn't get a letter I apologize, but let me know that you would like to be included and if it comes back around I will be sure to keep you in the loop. To everyone who kept the chain going, happy reading!

No More TODAY

For years and years I have gotten ready in the morning watching/listening to the Today Show. But I have decided to say good bye to the show. Lately it seems that the show focuses so much on the negative and how bad the economy is and how horrible our country's state of affairs are in. I realize that things are tough, but to talk about it every day for hours and hours gets old and I can't take it anymore. I would like to start my day off a little more optimistic and cheerful, less doom and gloom.

So good bye Today Show, thanks for keeping me informed for so many years. I'm sure I'll check in every once in a while to make sure Al's still telling me what the weather is like in "my neck of the woods".
