THE MONTH THEY CALL MARCH

There is a certain time in life when you fake sick to take work off. There is a certain time in life when those who never gamble enter office pools of money. There is a certain time in life when you stair at the television for 12 straight hours 4 straight days. There is a certain time in life women just don't understand. There is a certain time in life that moves you. That time is March Madness. The final four is close to being set and my bracket not pulling its weight. Every year I love the Cinderella's and pick them too much. I just have to pick upsets, it is an inner drug. I take this time out to solute the madness we all love. My wife growing up with 5 brothers had never experienced the madness (very difficult to believe I know) until I arrived. 2 years in the books and she is still learning why this month takes her husband away and why it is called Madness. 64 games in 65 days in the greatest tournament ever. That is why, my sweetheart. Buzzer beaters, blown calls, and cutting down the nets is what it's all about. The only thing that would add to the enjoyment would be the Cougars actually winning a tournament game, but I will save that one for another day. Next time when you're depressed in February, hold your head up and smile because March is coming. Madness is coming!!!!!

Lime Ricki

Hey girls, cutest swimsuit site ever! How many of you have heard of Lime Ricki before? I hadn't until I googled "modest swimsuits." Seriously, these are the cutest tankini's I've ever seen. Jeff's going to get me one for my birthday. Check it out at http://www.limericki.com.

If you click on the NEW! Spring 2009 tab, you can see the one I've got my heart set on. It's down at the bottom and it's called Maizy. I'm going to get it with the black shorts they have. Love it!

If you're looking for a new suit this summer, then you should seriously check this site out.

Words of Encouragement?

I am SO burnt out. I cannot stand school anymore. I like what I'm learning, I do, but I just can't take anymore of the stupid assignments, quizzes, tests, and PAPERS (BLAH!!!). I know there are only 6 1/2 weeks left in the semester, but the first 9 weeks have seriously DRAAAAAGGGED on. Ugh! I haven't had a break (other than in between terms and Christmas break) since the summer we got married and I won't get a break until mid-June 'cause of the mandatory Spring Term. I just need some words of encouragement or any ideas of how to help me get through these next few months cause I feel like dropping out (NOT THAT I EVER WOULD!). Any suggestions anyone?
