It's Madness...

...in the George household. Xavier won again to make it to the sweet 16 and my dad couldn't be more excited. Friday night he had his mini Musketeer bobble head key chain out. My parents had friends over today to watch the game and he had his blue and white blanket, "X" banner, and golden duck out. Yes, that is a lawn duck wearing a Xavier jersey. (I should probably add that one of my dad's friends found the duck in his garage. He surprised my dad before a golf tournament by placing the duck on the top of their golf cart. Of course my dad thought it was great because he could spot his cart from anywhere on the course!) It's now his little mascot.

I tried to be supportive wearing a blue shirt with "Indiana" on it and he wasn't too happy. O well, it obviously didn't effect the team :) Besides basketball, life has been great. I am still catching up with friends, working at the doctor's office and babysitting here and there. I love the Spring weather and hope it continues to stay in the 60's or 70's. The other night I saw "Bedtime Stories" with a friend. It was pretty cute. Both of us were laughing a lot. It was a good lighthearted movie.

On a more serious note, I got an email update from one of my coworkers in WA. She too was laid off with me and recently was hired at a station in Spokane along with one of our sports guys. The two of them are facing layoffs again. Right now, they are safe, but they learned that the company that owns their station (and about 10 others) is planning to lay off 150 people. It sucks. I had actually planned to interview at that same station before I decided to move home and canceled the interview. I am keeping the two of them in prayers for the next couple of weeks. They should know by April 1st.

I can't end on a negative note so here's a fun fact... One of my best friends is in LA right now visiting her boyfriend and she spotted Fergie at the mall. Unfortunately, she wasn't with her hunky boyfriend, but still it's cool to say you saw a celebrity. I normally end up seeing an old teacher or neighbor when I'm out.
