It's March Madness Baby!

In the imortal words of broadcaster/Duke lover Dick Vital I hope to see some "slap a lapper napper", "super scintillating sensational slam jam bam bam!" (exciting play), and "dipsy-doo dunkeroo diddle dop slam-jam-bam, baby!" (an exciting slam dunk)
March Madness is AWESOME BABY!
3 games in and I am still sitting in 1st place with 100% on my bracket! I have picked a couple of upsets, so we'll see how those turn out. I have Utah making it to the Sweet Sixteen...come on UTES! My final four is Mephis, UNC, Kansas, and Villanova. I know, not very "main stream"...but like I said, I have picked some upsets. :)
Anyone else have an predicitons they want to let loose?

I also have a women's bracket going. My championship game is between UCONN & Oaklahoma. I am sad to say that my Lady Vols likely wont make the championship this year, they are just to young and inexperienced. But I am rooting for them to make the Final Four. It's doable if Pat can get a fire started under those girls! :)

I think March is my favorite month, warm weather comes a callin, basketball is all around me, and I am planning my weekends months in advance for camping, fishing, and Disneyland! :) If you want us to pencil you in for time this summer, you better get your requests in now! :)

HAPPY MARCH MADNESS! TTFN

Tagged Answers

I got tagged by Ky, at least I think I was tagged :) Ha Ha Here are the answers. I don't get how to do the links or the tags, soooo whoever wants to do it, go for it! And if you do, decide to do it...add one of your questions at the bottom.

1)What do you do for a living? I work for DHL Global Forwarding at the Air Import Manager, I also have a part time job in a retail video game store…and when I have opportunity I volunteer at being a partner, step mom, and friend!

2) What is your biggest fear? I don’t know that it’s my biggest, but I fear that my “being” will lack any meaning. I hope I can look back on my life and find that I was even a smile on one persons face.

3) Do you nap a lot? I like to nap when I can, but usually don’t have that luxury.

4) Who is the last person you hugged? My fishin’ buddy

5) What websites do you visit when you go online? Old Navy, Facebook, Blogs, and work related sites.

6) What was the last item you bought? clothes

7) You are on the Oregon Trail, how are things going? If I am on the Oregon Trail right now, I am pissed…because likely I am in a dress or skirt of some sort, as the women folk had to dress in such garb.  And it’s probably cold, and it’s not like those covered wagons had heaters. But knowing me, that is only on the inside, and I am singing, cheering others up, and putting my shoulder to the wheel and pressing on…pressing on!

8) If you woke up tomorrow and were a boy, what is the first thing you would do and why? If you asked me this when I was 10-12 and dreaming of this on a daily basis, I would be asking my first girl crush to check yes or no if she “liked me” in a note. Now a days, I would be standing up peeing! HA HA HA and praising Jesus that I am never going to have a menstrual cycle again! HAAAALLLLEEEELLLLUUUUIIIIAAAAHHHHH

9) Has a celebrity's hair cut ever influenced your own hairstyle? Uh, no okay, maybe Zac Efron with the beachy shaggy bangs covering the face look

10) What is your most embarrassing moment? I honestly don’t have one, I mean I am sure I have been embarrassed before, but nothing that stands out as the most embarrassing moment. I guess I just let things go to fast.

11) What was the last movie you watched? Blindness…great cast, interesting concept, not my favorite movie of the year however.

12) If you had a whole day to yourself with no work, commitments, or interruptions what would you do? Sleep in, take Topper for a walk (‘cause it’s warm right?), watch tv, and then cook dinner and dessert for my little family.

13) Do you like scary movies? NOT so much, but if it’s light out, I am willing to watch them with someone who might be a scary movie lover, but it must be light outside when the movie get’s over.

14) What would you want your last meal to be? Oh, that is sooooo hard for me. Mom’s ham, mashed potatoes with country gravy, blueberry muffins, peas, double double animal style & fries from in-n-out, a big-mac, DIET COKE from Wendy’s with a lemon, and a piece of my mom’s cheesecake with blueberry topping, and a peanut butter bar from my elementary school lunch. I would be full, but very very happy!

15) My question...If you could spend a day with one person (dead or alive) who would it be, and why? Abraham Lincoln. I would love to hear his thoughts on the world today.

What I learned today:

I have been a bit of an introvert the last little while. I have been overly stressed, my jobs have been emotionally, mentally, and physically demanding, and I have been sick too. So what this means, is I have had a lot of time to reflect.

A tid-bit of what I learned over the past little while came to me today, like a light bulb over my head, after reading an e-mail this morning.

What I learned: If you are going to say something out loud, to other people, make sure it's not only the truth, but something you are willing to stand behind. Others (at least me) believe what you say, and will hold you to what you say.

I couldn't help but feel lied to and deceived. It's as if certain people act and react to their momentary feelings and whims and don't feel they should be held accountable if they change their point of view 5 minutes later. Even if it hurts someone in the process.

I am not saying that people shouldn't or don't have the ability to change; to change their behavior, to change their point of view, to change their minds. But when you say something passionatly and then go back on that, people are going to start doubting that what you say is actual truth.


That is it for today...TTFN
