So Begins the Change

This morning 2 spring things happened to me. First, the grass in our little yard has started to come up green. It won't be too long before I will be smelling fresh cut grass. Which thank GOD, I don't have to cut. One of the few joys of apt living. The Second, a flock of Robin's decided to land outside my window this morning. This was my first Robin this spring. It is nice to have them back. I am thankful that they are bringing the sunshine with them!!!!!

I also washed the last of winter from my car this morning. I know that it is going to rain this afternoon. My car is by no means spotless. I will have to wash it a few more times to get the rest of the dirt off of the car. Hey, it's a start!!!!!!

Spring has Sprung

Finally!!!!! The temperatures are in the 60's. It was a wonderful feeling to walk out of work yesterday and not be cold. I drove home with my windows down and music loud. Something about spring makes you want to do that! It is a close tie between spring and fall as to which is my favorite season. It is nice to have the world come back to life!! I love watching flowers bloom and grass grow. I love those days when you see the trees starting to bud. Then wondering "WOW! When did all the leaves get on the trees?". I always feel energized in the spring! I love being outside! I want to spend more time in the fresh air.

Welcome Spring! We missed you!!!

I Didn't Want to Do This.....

but now I feel I have no choice. Terri Schiavo. Poor, poor Terri. Growing up as a God Fearing Catholic I was taught that euthanasia was wrong. It took me a long time to understand what it meant. I didn't know what little Asian kids were doing wrong. Honestly! As all kids do when they are young, I soaked that up. You know I never believed it though. I always felt, and still do, that if I were in a persistent vegetative state, let me go. Keep me for a day or two until you can come to terms with what you have to do, then let me go! That is no life! No life at all!!!

I want to know what these parents think that they are saving? What kind of life is Terri living in a hospital bed? She is severely brain-damaged!! She isn't able to comprehend what is going on in day to day life. I think that her parents are just being selfish!! That is all!! If they cared at all they would have let her go years ago!! They wouldn't have prolonged her life. They say that she responds to them. Maybe she is trying to tell them enough already!!!!!

Let's hear your thoughts.

Situation Normal All Fouled Up

Well people we are screwed!!! I think almost everyone in America is screwed. What am I talking about? The NCAA tournament a.k.a. upset city. Who would have ever picked#13 Vermont to beat Syracuse. #14 Bucknell over #3 Kansas, WTF? What about #7 West Virginia beating Wake Forest? And the biggest upset of all NC State over the defending champs UConn. Well as far as the contest between Josh and I, we will see the standings tomorrow. At least the Badgers won today. Since my bracket was already screwed in that area I am happy to see them go on. I guess this proves it is all really a guessing game.

Bracketology

So it is that time of the year again.....March Madness! My one co-worker wants to know why we keep talking about mounting things on the wall, or what we want to support. So I wrote my good friend kmoka yesterday and inquired about the pool this year. She informed me of the same $5 cost and said it had to be in today to account for the play-in game tonight. So I handed my bracket off to Josh as usual last night. He has been doing my bracket for 4 years now. We won 2nd the first year and have done poorly the next 2. I still trust him to fill it out. That is until I read it this morning. Any expert bracketologist knows you have to learn the art of the upset. You have to pick which teams are going to come out of no where and shock the nation. Josh picked one upset. It was a 10 over a 7. I wasn't too sure about this. I decided to hand his bracket into my friend kmoka and go with it. Later this morning I received an e-mail from a co-worker announcing our pool here at work. So I took matters into my own hands. I filled my own out. This is going to determine who the bracketologist is from this point on. I'll keep you posted.
