March Madness Bragging Rights

Its MARCH MADNESS time.  My little Sweet Pea will be joining Friday Playdate's kids entertaining herself. 

This is one of my favorite times of year - it's almost a holiday.  Usually, my college team is in the running.  This year doesn't look so hot for Lute and the Arizona Wildcats.  It's actually easier when my team isn't in the hunt.  I can relax and just enjoy the fun, the drama, the heartbreak. 

When I was younger, single and without kids, my girlfriends and I would go out the whole first weekend.  We would go to one of the big sports bars early enough to get a great table.  Even the year I was pregnant I made it out for one day of the first weekend.  We just chose a relatively smoke-free bar. 

(It's good I'm getting excited about basketball since I just heard some bad Cubs news, oh and more!)

Part of the fun is having brackets filled out.  So, since I probably won't be going out much this year, I had to do something to rev up the March Madness spirit . . .

I started a little online pool and would love anyone who's interested to join in.  It's not for money, just bragging rights.  It's easy to join and will give you some teams to root for! Here are the directions to join:
