Back from the dead....

At the urging of my loyal readers (make that "reader" -- thanks Kathie!), I've returned from the depths of the winter blahs.
Yes, today is officially the first day of spring, which is completely meaningless up here.
"First day of spring," my ass.
March 21st here simply means we're seeing Warm Weather's tailights, way off in the distance, for the first time since November....which IS nice.
But it sucks knowing the rest of the world (i.e., back home in IL) is actually catching up to Warm Weather and preparing to climb into the back seat for the duration.
Yes, woe is me, blah, blah, de-fucking-blah.
I get it, I'll stop whining now.

I'm getting back onto the healthy horse yet again in a (vain?) attempt to lose 77 pounds by June 1st of next year.
Possible? Yes.
Plausible? Hmmm....
I'm working on that one.
But I've eaten well for exactly 1&1/2 days in a row, and exercised for exactly....well, today.
WHOOPIE!!
It's a start.

My NCAA bracket got busted good in the second round, losing 3 of my Elite Eight teams.
(Damn you, Texas, Louisville and Wisconsin!!)
I'll still have my ass firmly planted in front of the TV this weekend....
The NCAA tournament is probably the best event in all of sports, and yes, I'm counting the Super Bowl.
(And no, I'm not just saying that because my Bears got their asses kicked.)
It holds more excitement, more twists and turns, more drama than anything known to man.
I love every single second of it.
Filling out a bracket only adds to it all.
JN's bracket is still alive, so maybe we can win some bucks after all.
But in order for that to happen, North Carolina's gotta win it all.
Which means I gotta pull for North Carolina?
Not sure if I can pull the trigger on that one yet.
Maybe I can get away with yelling, "GO, MONEY!" at the TV.
Hmmm....might not be quite the same.
