Happy 14 Year Anniversary, Babe!

14 Things I Love About You

14. Today, you called me from my parking lot at work & told me to come outside. There you stood with a dozen pink roses! You always spoil me.
13. You're simply irresistible.
12. You COOK...& you're really, really good at it.
11. Your humor & wit. You're always making me laugh!
10. You're man enough to buy, wear & use pink to support the cause: my favorite gift was a pink iron!!!
9. You complete my sentences...you complete ME.
8. You're a family man. You put your family before anything else.
7. You fought off "misbehaving" (clawing, spitting, pulling hair) women in order to get me closer to Rick Springfield on stage.
6. You love OU almost as much as I do & hate the Longhorns even more than I do!
5. You treat our girls like princesses.
4. You treat ME like a princess.
3. You love me despite what cancer has done to me.
2. Because of you, no matter what may come tomorrow, today my life is more complete.
1. Your ability to forgive.

What a difference a week makes...

A week ago, I never would have posted this. I've taken my big girl pill & will be the disappointed OU fan...now dressed in Carolina blue...sitting next to her husband...cheering for his team to make it to the national championship game. This one's for you, babe......GO 'HEELS :)

P.S. to Megan - I forgive you for "accidentally" wearing that jersey during the OU/Tarheel game last Friday & I am sorry that it accidentally melted in the dryer this week.

A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words...

While I was sleeping in

I woke up this morning to the sound of the mixer going in the kitchen. My first thought was that someone had broken in! And then I realized that burgulars normally don't stop to cook you breakfast while they're robbing your home. So I got up & found my husband and Meg doing this...

Chocolate chip pancakes, eggs & hashbrowns. They even set the table & cleaned up the dishes. This might be the next best thing to stargazers :)

I heart Blake Griffin

Hard-nosed Griffin gives Oklahoma edge over Tar Heels

TODAY'S ISSUE: Who will win the NCAA tournament?

..."It could be North Carolina vs. Oklahoma for the chance to go to the Final Four. And when Oklahoma not only wins the regional, but also takes the NCAA championship, I will have bragging rights for the year. With forward Blake Griffin leading the Sooners' charge, Tyler Hansbrough & Co. will have their hands full. Griffin, the Big 12 player of the year, is the second coming of Charles Barkley. He can handle the ball, shoot, defend and is a guy who can carry a team on his back. This guy was sidelined by a concussion earlier this year, and when he came back, he dove into the stands for a loose ball! The only team that can beat North Carolina is Oklahoma, because of its quick guards, good rebounding and stud player..."

I will continue to post similar articles until I receive the stargazers. Love you, babe!

March MADNESS!

March is here...let the madness begin! I live in an area that sends college basketball fans into a synchronized FRENZY every year. There may be 60 or so teams competing for basketball's biggest prize, but this year in our house, it has come down to this...two teams and a DIVIDED household.

I love my husband...a LOT. When it comes to sports, we have two things in common: passion & competitiveness. One of the reasons I married him is because he's always game for watching or attending a sporting event. I don't pretend to know all the stats & useless sports knowledge that he does (he's kinda a nerd that way) & he doesn't pretend to know how I KNOW when a team is going to win or lose. (the jockey wearing pink, the cutest of the two QB's...)

Now back to this divided household thing. My husband sends me his bracket this morning to enter into our work pool & just in case you can't see the above image (the image that has put us in marriage counseling, by the way) he has confidently listed UNC as the National Champion. Won't he be surprised when the Sooner Schooner stomps all over his 'heels!!! Crimson vs. powder blue? Do you really need to be a guy to figure out the winner between those two colors?

I love you, babe & I'm sure I will eventually get over your brief lack of judgment. In the meantime, I hear stargazers are in season, I could use another charm for my Pandora bracelet & my feet are begging for another pedicure now that the weather has warmed up. (and our stock of wine is getting low)

For those of you who also live in a divided household, NEVER let this happen...

Converted Tarheel fans.
