The Most Wonderful time of year....






MARCH MADNESS! I loooooovvveeee this time of year. Even more so now that we live in Texas. I don't think this much basketball has been aired ALL season. I've had the tv on all day- watched four games all the while cleaning the house. March madness makes housework a million times more enjoyable!

It has been a great Saturday. Normally- there are millions of errands to run and things to do. But- I was able to run most of errands after work this week so all that was left was a little light cleaning at home. And Laundry (that never ends). But- Byron finally had off! So- we slept in, went to breakfast with friends, drank coffee, played on our computers, and watched basketball all day. Glorious!

Last weekend I played in a volleyball tournament that about killed me. I'm just not that limber anymore. I really enjoyed being competitive again- even if I payed for it in pain the next day. Byron took the boards. Ewww. One of his Attending's had everyone over for dinner after the boards which was fun but I had to call it a night at about 9. I just couldn't keep my eyes open after all that volleyball!

Last Sunday we went out with most of the residents to a famous (somewhat) restaurant here in SA called "The Magic Time Machine".


It was interesting. Food was overpriced, but I guess you're really paying for the atmosphere. We had the joker for a waiter. He was crazy. I know the little girls at our table were soooo hoping for a Cinderella or Tinkerbell or anything less frightening than that Joker. They were troopers though and the residents got some good laughs!

More updates on the house to come. We tore up the backyard and laid a bunch of sod. It looks much bigger now. I just don't have the green thumb the old owner did. SIgh.
