It's my blog and I can brag if I want to....

Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm proud to announce for the 3rd year in a row I have officially beaten Brian at the Basketball Bracket Challenge!! Can I get a BIG YEAH!!??!!?? Our bracket totals are complete even though the tournament is not over because we both had Ohio State and Kansas making it to the championship game. We all know how that turned out over the weekend. I barely squeaked past him, but I still won! Here are our official rankings (according to ESPN):

• Brian: Points- 550, Rank- 1,947,712, Percentage- 67.1%


• Calley: Points- 590, Rank- 1,009,913, Percentage- 83.0%

If my calculations are correct, I think that puts me a total of 937,799 people ahead of him. :) Some may think I'm a bit harsh to be this excited over beating my husband. Others are laughing out loud. If you only knew how competitive Brian is at all things, especially basketball (his sport), then you would surely understand my joy to hold this win high! Three years in a row!! Did I already say that??

Ok. I've probably ruined my chances at winning from now on since I've bragged so much about this win. But today, just today, (and until next March) I will stand proud and embrace this win!

Procrastination......No More!

Brian is going to Nicaragua for an entire week. I've decided now is the time to get some things done around the house. I don't know if I've got spring cleaning on my mind, or if it is the fact that I need to stay busy so I don't miss Brian too terribly much. All I know is I've been putting off many, many tasks and I'm going to utilize my free time as wisely as possible while he is away.

I've created the following list of to-do's….let's see how many I can actually accomplish within a week!

• Clean out/Organize my desk: This desk is so cluttered, so ugly, and it sits right in the middle of our living room. I would feel much better if it stayed picture perfect clean. I only have myself to blame. :)
• Finish Breaking Dawn: I am the world's worst reader! Seriously! I've had this book on my bedside table since we've moved in (which would be May 2010) and I still haven't finished it. I can't believe I'm admitting that to the public. Sad. Very sad.
• Organize closets, change to spring clothes: I figure if I box up all my sweaters and change over to my warmer clothes, the warmer weather is bound to stay….right?
• Clean house: I guess this is just spring cleaning on the mind.
• Plant herbs: I've been really excited about growing my own fresh herbs that Brian got me for Christmas. Hopefully I won't kill them!
• Learn photography and how to REALLY use our SLR camera: I really hope to impress Brian with my photo skills. However, this has to revert back to #2….I'm the world's worst reader!
• Update my blog design: This is something I've been wanting to do since creating my blog….I hope you like my updates!
• Work overtime: Can I really fit in overtime with all my to-do's? I guess this will keep me from missing my hubby too much.
• Exercise: I need to fit in some exercise with swimsuit season right around the corner!!
• Wait on Brian's safe return!
