Under...WHERE???

So, many of my friends may find this post a little odd simply because, well, they know and some things just won't add up to them. I won't go into details why because that might be a little too much information for people. But anyway, on with my story!

After what some would call...overindulging in adult beverages while watching basketball and playing "Cards Against Humanity" on Saturday night, I was a sleep dog on Sunday morning. With a slight headache, and a tummy full of McDonalds, I took to the couch to take a little nap while College basketball played in the background. My mom left town so it was up to the rest of us to decide what to do for dinner. We grilled on Saturday night and no one was really in the mood to cook so we decided on the lovely Mexican joint down the street. It is awesome by the. By making this decision, that meant I had to get up, take a shower and change out of my XXXL sweats. Why I buy sweats that big is beyond me, but what can you do. I didn't feel like digging around for a clean pair of jeans, I wore the same pair of jeans I wore on Friday...and Saturday for that matter, which I feel like is fairly common on the weekends. We left for dinner around 6:30, I got out of the shower and was dressed by about 5:45.

We had a very nice dinner with quite a few margaritas and a marga-rona. Notice my smaller margarita behind the much larger one! As we got home, of course we decided to have a few more beers and watch some Archer. I was sitting on the couch wondering why my jeans didn't feel right. I couldn't pin point it but something was off. My parents keep blankets on their couch to keep them covered from the animals so I just assumed it was a the blanket bunched up. I flattened out the blanket and didn't help. I stood up and looked around and was still perplexed as to why it felt like there was something behind my knee. Then, all of the sudden, it dawned on me....rolled up my jean leg and stuck my hand behind my knee and what did I find....my underwear from the day before!!! They were all balled up and right behind my knee. Seriously, how in the WORLD does that happen??? How did I manage to sit down for an hour before dinner, all through dinner and never notice that is what was in my pant leg?? THANK GOODNESS it didn't fall out while we were at the Mexican place...how embarassing would that be??? I have a habit of putting my underwear in mysterious places. If you ever come across my friend Jill, you should ask her where she found a pair of my undies. And, if I remember correctly, I loaned a pair of jeans that were washed and dried to a roommate in college and a couple hours later, while we were out, she found a pair of undies in my pocket!!! If you take nothing from this post, ALWAYS check the pockets of clothes that you borrow from me!!! You never now what you might find:)

Until Next time,

MADNESS!!!!

You guessed it.....its MARCH MADNESS TIME!!! Last weekend began the beginning of conference tournaments to set the first round of automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament!! I mean, who doesn't love this time of year?? I will tell you who does....THIS GIRL!!! There are many reasons why I like the month of March, obvisouly, March Madness is one huge reason, the weather begins to warm up and baseball season is just around the corner...but that is for another post!

I have been a college basketball fan for as long as I can remember. I am sure it stems from just being a huge sports fan in general. In middle school, I began to obsess over Michael Jordan, so clearly for that reason alone I was a UNC fan. As I got older, I began to pay a little bit more attention and fell off that bandwagon. I will be the first to admit, I was not a UNC fan for any other reason than it was where Michael Jordan played, not a true fan at all. When my sister went to University of Illinois, I figured I would just follow them. Made sense, my mom went there, my sister went there and turns out, so did my brother and other sister. Now, when I went off to college, I clearly had to support my school...The Murray State RACERS! Not sure if any of you have been following them this year, but they are the real deal! Sadly, Illinois is not. Bruce Weber was actually just fired this morning. Sad day.

What I look forward to most about March Madness is getting together with my friends, drinking excessive amounts of beer and watching basketball for 4 days straight. I mean, to the tune of I would schedule "meetings" from 12-4 on the first Thursday of March Madness and go to a local Casino Bar with one of my Best Friends Ever, Sarah Buss!! Last year, I drove straight to that same bar from Chicago after a bachlorette party and joined in the festivities! By the end of this weekend, the field will be set. Right now there are some teams that have punched their tickets but there are so many spots up in the air! It is so exciting! Who is going to get an automatic bid, who will the surprise team be this year, will there be a cinderella team that busts brackets all over the country?!?! As of right now, no one knows. But, by this time next week, the tournament will be in full swing and productivity will be at its lowest point! I have no idea who I think will win and quite frankly, I don't care all that much! I am looking forward to a weekend full of good hoops, green beer and great friends!

Last year we had our March Madness get together on the same day I had a bridal shower. I was a little late to the basketball gathering and I was a little bit over dressed, but I caught up quick! I am pretty sure the last warriors standing went to bed after about 12 rounds of apples to apples at 3 AM. That meant there was not much time to sleep and get back to the bar for tip off of the games on Sunday. I clearly didn't think ahead because all I thought to bring with me was a pair of flip flops so I didn't have to wear my heels all day. Needless to say, I did the ultimate walk of shame, I slept on the floor in my friend's basement, in my dress and made my appearance at the bar the NEXT MORNING in the same dress...at least I had my flip flops right?? One of my finer moments that make my parents hold their head high with pride! HA!!!

I will close this post with one final thought.......GOOOOOOOO RRRRAAAACCCCCERRRSSS!!!!

Until Next Time,
