Alongside the beginning of college football season in the fall, March Madness is a favorite time of year for me. It brings out my competitive, gambling, smack-talking {even though this year there isn't much for me to smack about other than BYU choking...} personality. For sports lovers this can be as exciting as Christmas. Seriously, I am one of those people that doesn't get a thing done during the madness because I'm glued to my tv from 11:00 game time to the last game in the evening {many of Shane's friends have told him how lucky he is to have such a sports enthusiast for a wife, but I am very much underappreciated, I must say}. I figure if there really are people around the country who take sick days for basketball, then why can't I.
The first round is my favorite because upsets happen and it seems that almost every game goes down to the wire. I love seeing the losers cry and the winners rejoice. There usually aren't many fights, but when there are I sure do love 'em. I love sitting on the couch with my orange marker, highlighting the crap out of my brackets. I love comparing brackets to see if I'm doing better or worse. I love, love, love it all.
I'm thinking this year my big money is on North Carolina. I wasn't thinking that way a few days ago, but this morning I made up my mind. Just thought you'd like to know. Oh, and let me in on how your brackets are doing, because I'd love to know I'm beating you! Oh, the madness!

Most defintely the girls are going to take this competition. We have to win this so we can rule it for the year. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. We'll just keep our fingers crossed that at least one of us females win this one. I can't wait for the games to begin. Good luck!!!
