March Madness

I won't bore you with all the details, cause I know no one reading this is as "into" the games and the NCAA Tournament as I am. I will say that I am participating in an online game, each matchup you get right gets you points, your score is compared to everyone else playing, there's a tiebreaker score for each round, and at the end, whoever has the most points wins something, not sure what. I'm not concerned about it, because my chances of winning are like a couple thousand to one? LOL Anyway, I've been keeping up with the games so far today, watched a little bit on tv before coming online tonight, just to see who's winning which games. It's something else for me to do, other than the Nascar stuff. Did I mention that in addition to the fantasy league I participate in, I'm also in two other online games too? LOL That's how I found out about the basketball one.

Other than basketball, and work, my life is pretty boring right now. I still haven't heard back from Brian, I REALLY doubt I will now. I'm half tempted to call him up and call him a hypocrite, but that could start a conversation that won't be productive for either of us. So probably on Monday, I'll fax my sheet back to the service and tell them it didn't work out. At this point, I'm pretty disappointed, but I don't know what I could change to get better prospects. It's not necessarily that I'm being matched with men that I have nothing in common with. They're just not being upfront about their expectations or their committment to the process. I'm almost tempted to not answer the phone, for fear of what will happen when (and if) the next guy calls.

Speaking of the phone...here in Illinois we're having a primary election next Tuesday. So for the last week or so, I have been getting several phone calls every day (that I know of) from candidates, or people stumping (supporting) a candidate. They leave recorded messages on my answering machine, or they call me during the evening when I'm trying to watch Idol. It's gotten so I won't answer my phone until after the 21st.

Anyway, ER is about to start, so I have to post this and get in to turn the tv on. Happy Friday, and Happy St. Patrick's Day! Wear green, even if you're not Irish!

Note on Friday morning...I tried several times to post this last night, but I kept getting an error message. I never lost the post, luckily.

  3. Melyna is "into" the games like you are...I had a meeting at the school yesterday (about Melyna's sophomore year) and this HUGE rukus broke out in the commons (we were in the office conf. room)...The teachers I was talking to thought it was a fight, but Melyna said it was the game..LOL She looked so disappointed that she didn't get to see what happened :( Oh well, getting her out of High School and OUT OF THE HOUSE ultimately was our focus...lol I'm so mean! LOL
