Long story…

Okay, so Matthew (hubby) and I are NOT sports people, but for some reason, every year, we get really into March Madness. (Matthew *loves* basketball but, sadly, isn’t all that good at it. I hope for his sake that one of our kids is so he can live vicariously through them.) We print off brackets each year, fill them out (blindly, I might add), watch many of the games, and update our brackets. It is SO fun! I usually end up beating him on my picks but it’s b/c he usually picks some underdog team and screws up his brackets early on, LOL.

I think the best thing about MM is that now it totally reminds us of Andrew’s birth (Our first born). Three years ago, Andrew was born right in the middle of the games, and we brought our brackets with us to the hospital and watched some games there. It was just part of the fun hospital stay (no joke!). I remember at one point, my doctor came in a day or two after my surgery to check on me. We had the TV on to the UConn/George Mason game. UConn was a *huge* favorite and a top seed, and GM was just an underdog team. My doc was talking to us about how the recovery was going, etc., and then there was a crucial break in the game. I can’t remember exactly what happened, but it was something like GM pushed it into OT or they went ahead w/only seconds left and were most likely going to beat UConn. My doctor said, “Umm…okay…bye!” And he practically RAN out of the room! We died laughing! We figured he had to get to the lounge to finish the game (or call his bookie)!

Anyway, just had to share. I have found it rare to find another MM junkie. :)
