Passing Thoughts

To start off, I'm really glad I didn't enter my March Madness sheet into any office pools. In the 15+ years I've been filling out a bracket, I've never sucked on the gas pipe so poorly in my life. I log onto espn.com just to see that my official ranking is over 3 million. Pathetic. I was really convinced UCLA was going to go down last night just because I had them winning the whole thing!
I've been spending the better part of the weekend writing a paper for one of my grad classes. It's a big mess right now, hopefully it will be more coherent by this evening. What concerns me is that I might give up all together and give in to the temptation of baking cookies instead and helping DH cook our Easter dinner.
In more disappointing news, we were all set to go to my cousin's wedding Memorial Day weekend. Bought our tickets, etc. All along we thought the wedding was on the Sunday. Realized yesterday that no, her wedding is actually on Memorial Day, 5pm reception. End result- we (I) look like complete fools because we had to cancel the whole weekend. We can't get off work on Tuesday to fly back, and the last flight Monday night was at 8pm (basically we would have flown up to watch them exchange vows and then head straight to the airport- 3 hours away). DH told me to take the credit that we got from canceling the original reservation so that I could fly home for her shower instead. The whole thing really stinks though, I'm disappointed that we can't go.
What I have failed to mention recently is that we finally, officially have brand new bedroom furniture! We actually have a grown up bedroom set!!! My broken dresser and DH's 30 year old hand-me-downs have met their final resting place in the garbage. Our bedroom feels like a hotel now (and we got new pillows from Homegoods yesterday to finish everything off!)
Also last weekend we made it through the severe weather here in Atlanta. We were about a 1/2 mile away from the tornado that went through downtown and DH captured some of the damage in pictures. If you'd like to see any of the images they are at: http://itpfoodie.blogspot.com definitely check out the photo of the traffic light. 1/2 of it is facing the wrong direction.
