My Four Rules of Bracketology

Note: Several of these rules are based on my personal team loves and hates, so you can adapt them to fit your team preferences. I will attempt to not judge you for you these preferences. Also, my bracket has never won, but I did come in third last year.



1. If remotely feasibly possible, always pick UK to win it all. (Yes, it is very feasible this year.)

2. Try to find a feasible, quick exit for Duke, Tennessee and Louisville, because they're evil.

3. If your husband is a Louisville fan, pick them to win at least one game (if plausible) as a kindness to him.

4. Pick the local under dog for at least one game. In my case, this is normally Western Kentucky, Murray State or Morehead State.

Unfortunately, rules 3 and 4 are going head-to-head in the first round this year. I'm think I'm going to have to pick Morehead. ;)

February Loves (and Loves Nots)

+ Warmer weather means lovely walks and bringing out the spring nail colors.
+ Love Walked In is a delightful book.
+ I have been sucked back in to The Bachelor. Lee would not say this is a good thing.
+ Two friends had babies this month. Whee!
+ Whole Foods sushi.
+ Pre-natal yoga.
+ Colin Firth won a long-overdue Oscar. It's a truth universally acknowledged that he did not receive enough accolades for his work as Mr. Darcy, both Austen's and Fielding's.

Not so much love for:
+ Breast cancer. Be sure to do your monthly checks. Boys too.
+ UK's away record. (Basketball, if you're not a local.)

On a happier note, if baby cooperates we'll find out the gender tomorrow! SQUEEE!!!

January Loves (and Loves Nots)

+ WordPress and their magical ability to reply to comments.

+ Watching all three seasons of Arrested Development for the second time.

+ Designing my first website. Which will hopefully be live here someday soon. Like by March?

+ Michael Scott met David Brent and it was perfection.

+ Buy one get one half off maternity jeans.

+ A trip to Guadi's. (Guadi's is the Mexican restaurant where I went to college and I'm obsessed with it. This is largely emotional, but the food is also tasty.)

Not so much love for:

+ Snow.

+ Winter.

+ Cold.

+ The American. (The movie with George Clooney. In general I really like Americans, but The American wasn't worth the $1.06 from Redbox. Boy agrees.)
