It's T minus 16 hours till we blast off for NM.  My Mom told me to be sure we were careful driving.  Apparently the last time they went, Mom sat in the backseat and could see the speedometer.  She said "they drove 80 MPH the whole way, and once, Libby even had it up to 100!"  Yeah - my mom has always been asceered of MY driving, but I didn't think anyone else bothered her that much.  I know when she and my sister and I have gone to Missouri, when I'm driving fast she holds on to things and winces and hits the floor with her foot like she's putting her own brakes on.  But when Jan drives fast she says nothing.  I told her not to worry, we wouldn't drive fast.  Yep - I'm goin to hell for lying to my mom.  Oh well, just add it to the list of other lies I've told.  Like when the little girl scout I'd never seen before approached me in the grocery store and tried to sell me cookies.  Don't ask me why, but I can't just say no thank you.  I told her I had already bought them from my niece.  Two lies.  1 - didn't buy any and 2 - my niece isn't a girl scout any more.  What I should have said is "who the hell are you and why would I buy from someone I'll probably never see again?  And just how do you plan to get my cookies to me when you don't even know me, much less know where I live?"  or something like that.  Of course cussing out a girl scout is probably on the list of ways to get to hell too.  See?  I can't win.

I'm so excited!  March Madness is here!!!!!  And in case you didn't notice -- KU ??  #1 seed, thankyouverymuch!  Of course if they go and lose to Niagara, they'll never be able to show their faces again.  But that's not gonna happen.  I watched a few games today.  Poor Duke.  NOT.  I don't know why, but I've never been a big fan of Coach K.  So I can't say I'm sorry they're gone.  I am sad Texas Tech got beat - not necessarily because of Bobby Knight, but because I always like to see Big 12 teams do well.  I'm taking every KU Basketball shirt I own to wear in New Mexico - just  so none will question where my loyalties lie.  

Whelp - I'm off to bed - got lots to do tomorrow before we head out.  I don't know if I'll have a chance to update while I'm gone, but I'll probably try.
