i'm mad about march...


This is definitely the best time of year...for sports' junkies at least -- when we go mad for the best sports event -- PERIOD -- the NCAA College Basketball Tournament. So crazy that I smuggle in a small hand-held t.v. into work and watch games on my break, I check scores on the internet or on my phone. And now to fuel the fire, I now have a job that understands the importance and gives me a whole week off to be home and actually watch the games. (Well, not really -- I'm on Spring Break but I'll use it to watch the games!)



The best part about it is being able to compete yourself which is really what all us "has-beens" want to do -- COMPETE! Not in the actual games but in the brackets in the office pools and against your friends and family and sometimes strangers online. And it's for high stakes this year -- my husband and I bet two weeks of house chores! GO TARHEELS!

Wonder Twin Power....Activate!



Happy Birthday to the most wonderful twins I know and my life-long friends aka "my cousins but not really my cousins" - Jenni & Chrissi

You could say our relationship is an arranged one -- our families long time friends and raised us to be family. But it is far from forced and now blossomed into true friendship. I adore and admire these women for different reason -- one for her cool and collectiveness (you'll never see her sweat at the craps table) and her big heart. And the other for her quirkiness and sense of humor and always having my back.

Birthday wishes and blessings to the both of you...I love you!

Happy Birthday Bo!



To my favorite brother-in-law and to a writer that is much more talented than I... Happy 30th Birthday! Although you are now representing far away in the ATL, you will always be close in our hearts. We love you (and miss you)!
