Jeez, I'm having the worst time trying to keep up with posting on this blog. Time goes really fast, sure, but I feel like a total slacker. Especially since there is so much cool stuff to keep up with.
You may be thinking that I sound like someone who has left a mountain filled with snowboarders. And, in fact, I have. Not to mention loving the Shaun White post-performance interviews during the Olympics. And the girls with their ipods. And the USA Olympic outfits (uniforms). It was kind of a "golden retriever" Olympics -at least for the X-Games events. Out of control, smiling all the way. AWESOME!!
While we were skiing Beaver Creek, there were fun signs pointing to the ski runs. "Maverick," that way. Then below, an arrow pointing the same way: "Unbranded horse or cow, or one who develops an independent viewpoint..." Clever.
March also brings the Oscars, and this year Jeff and I went to a Julia Child themed party...yep, beef bourguignon, crepes, truffles, French wine...mmm, thanks John (and helpers). I think everyone else came for the repast rather than the awards, but Jeff and I sat on the couch and cheered when our pick for non-animated short won. Ya gotta be a fan.
Colin and Stephanie have birthdays this month, too, and are busy celebrating together in Philly this weekend. The completely miraculous thing about children is that all you have to do is think about them and your heart just swells. From the first moment on. Every time.
But really, the thought that got me going today was March Madness. I am not a basketball fan. In solidarity with Jeff, I try to stay in the room and can perk up when multiple games are all in their last two minutes at the same time and upsets are looming and Jeff is coming out of his chair shouting, but I'm not swept up in the bracket-mania, and I'm sitting here today at home wondering if I'M THE ONLY ONE WORKING TODAY??? Seriously, meetings canceled, email responses not forthcoming, it's like a cloud of corporate silence has descended.
I finally gave up to write this post. Although I doubt anyone will read it until April.
