A little something.....

Happy Saturday!

Happy Beginning of Spring Break!

Happy March Madness!!!

Okay, I have to confess....a little something about myself.....

Are you ready to hear this, oops, I mean read this ????

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE NCAA BASKETBALL!!!

There....now, there's another tid-bit about me that you know.....

I don't know why, but I totally enjoy (or maybe the better word would be THRIVE on) the whole March Madness, Non-stop Basketball games :D (I don't think I've crossed the line to being called a fanatic yet, but the possibility is always there..ha, ha :D) My favorite team happens to be North Carolina...but, along the way I usually pick another couple to root for as it narrows down to the Sweet 16, then, the Elite 8 to the Final Four!!!

In fact, I am so nuts over it...that I am more than annoyed if my Mr. interrupts it for anything...Story in fact, one year, the year North Carolina was playing for the Championship game...my sweet husband scheduled an appointment for us to go to a meeting through our insurance agency on Will & Estate planning! WHAT! I remember saying to him...tonight's the final game....that would be like me asking you to go during the Superbowl!! Now, my husband LOVES basketball too (any sport for that matter) but, with his crazy schedule he just doesn't get the time to get so connected! So, he doesn't understand WHY I get quite so grumpy at him!

Then, there was last year...and wouldn't you know it...right in the middle of the final game..I have a sick calf that needs some attention....I tried to squeeze it in during half-time...which resulted in a chase around the squeeze chute, a board that I was using to block a get away spot being knocked over, stepped on, and flung back up to hit me in the thigh...(OWWWWW...was an understatement!!! And, the bruise ) By, the time I finally got the job done, it was down to the last 2 minutes of the game! But, at least I saw the ending...I LOVE it as the champion team climbs high atop the ladder cutting a piece of the hoop down to signify their victory...and then, there's the final music and the video of all the teams throughout the play-offs! Can, I just say again I LOVE COLLEGE BASKETBALL!!! What else can you watch that in the final seconds, and I do mean seconds one team that has led the whole game can lose, or a team that is ranked way below can turn out victorious....Oh my, so many times it is totally nail biting (not that I bite my nails :D) and on occasion...I can't NOT hoop and holler! (Why, I find that so annoying when my Man does it over football games is beyond me :D) ha, ha...

This year, I'm hoping for a night of total UN-interruption...(A girl can always hope :D) So...if I don't answer my phone, or emails, or you don't see me for a few weekends...you'll know why...it just means I'm fixated on my TV and the action that is unfolding there.....Oh, it's always GOOD!

Maybe you'll take in a game for yourself....so, from my little March Madness zone to yours....Have a good one whatever you choose to do today...and in it all may you feel God's presence! Sweet blessings!
