Where Did March Go?

Right now, I'm trying to grade stories while simultaneously watching the Lost World. It's an incredibly horrible movie, asie from the part when the little boy goes to his mother's room and tells her that there's a dinosaur in their backyard. She laughs, until they watch the dinosaur eat their dog. That part, absolutely hilarious. (I searched for it on youtube but could not find it, sadly enough.)

It was lovely to actually get to spend time with CA this weekend. On Friday night, S and P and KB and her boyfriend came over to watch March Madness. The older I get, the more I realize that people are incredibly polarized on March Madness. This year, I am pretty stoked in general, as MSU is in the final four (unnecessary yessssssssssssssssssss). I am also fourth in the pool I did with Craig and first in the pool at work. It's a pretty exciting thing, especially since I didn't do particularly hot in the first round.

On Saturday, I went to a bridal shower. Showers, by nature, are I believe only exciting for the bride (and sometimes for the groom, dependent on how open the bar is). There's no game that anyoen wants to play, there's no small talk that's comfortable while you watch people open knife sets and blenders. It simply is not exciting. The food, this time around was actually delicious and it was wonderful to get to see my godparents, but showers, by nature, make people antsy. That evening, C and I watched more basketball and the X-Files movie (which was incredibly strange and not entirely enjoyable.)

Today was filled with a variety of tasks, including the purchase of this (most of which is still on back order) and a trip to CostPlus. Although C is going to end up being busy a lot of next week, after that, it's going to be over and I cannot wait for it to be so. We are both so much happier when we're together.

This week should be another busy one at work, but I'm excited for our Art Institute Trip on Thursday!
