Dylan plays in a basketball league and plays off started last night. They played 2 games. They won their first game against the worst team and then had an hour break then played the best team in the league and beat them too!!! It was a very exciting game. The championship games are next Tuesday which is unfortunate since we will be out of town. Hopefully they will win it all!

Happy Easter

Happy Birthday Monica!

We went to dinner with some friends on friday night to celebrate Monica's birthday. We had dinner at Uncle Julio's (one of Dylan and I's favorite spots) and then went for a drink afterwards. We all had a really good time.

The guys were there physically but not so much mentally. They were all constantly checking scores and updates for the College Playoff games that were going on.

No excuses

I have no excuse for not blogging lately, unless laziness can be used. We went to a Mavs game last week with Beth and Keith and then had some St. Patty's Day fun out on Greenville last Saturday.

But here is what I wanted to discuss today. "Charges filed against boyfriend of woman stuck on toilet."

The above story was on CNN sometime last week and I couldn't believe they were even looking in to filing charges against this guy. My first question was why would he staywith her for 2 years like that, but everyone has their own reasons for doing things, maybe he is just a really nice guy or a little messed up in the head too. Now they (District Court) are filing charges against the boyfriend, isn't HE the one we should all feel sorry for??? #1 he put up with his girlfriend sitting on a toilet for 2 years and now he is being punished for it? I think they both need help but throwing him in jail or filing charges against him isn't going to help anyone!

Other than that, wedding plans are and aren't coming along. Depends how you look at it. I have 4 months to get my @$$ in shape and to get everything finalized. I think I need another trip to Mexico to be sure its all coming together...what do you think???

More Snow

We had flurries on Monday night, all signs of it gone by Tuesday morning. Yesterday was in the 60's then it snows again today. I just don't get it. Its MARCH!

This is my front yard.

On the down side: Traffic was AWFUL!!! Took me an hour and a half to get home.
On the up side: I got to leave work early. I felt like we got a snow day or something.

I Spoke Too Soon

So today the temperature dropped to 30 degrees and is now currently snowing. I guess that's what I get for bragging about the great weather we were having. The drive to work tomorrow morning will be interesting.

Today I had to get gas on my way to work. I pull up put my card then attempt to open my gas tank. You have to push it in and then it just pops out. At least that's the way its supposed to work. So I'm pushing and nothing is happening. Its about 45 degrees so I'm not really happy at this point. After 10 minutes and turning my key 50 different ways in the ignition, I'm late for work and panicking. More about the fact that I have to deal with this in the cold than that I'm late for work.

I call my boss and explain that I can't get my gas tank open and don't have enough gas to get to work. I'm sure he believed that! I change pumps. Not sure why I thought that would magically make it open. Still nothing. I'm pushing hard and soft and banging and UGH! I SWEAR its the car, but just in case I decide to get out my User's Manual from the trunk. I have had my car since September and never once had this problem.

Well, apparently the gas tank is connected to the door locks in the car. When I got in the car to leave the house I locked the doors then when I got out to get gas I only unlocked the driver side door, I made the mistake of not pushing the unlock button. I really think whoever made the decision to connect the gas tank to the door locks wasn't really thinking clearly. I mean if one door is unlocked, isn't that enough? Needless to say I was about 45 minutes late and the gas station clerk now knows me as the dumb blonde who can't open her gas tank. I guess I've been called worse, but I definitely had a dumb blonde moment.

AXA Awards Banquet

This weekend was the AXA Awards banquet for Dylan's office. He, as usual, received the RBG Associate of the Year for the North Texas Branch as well as making Centurion (surpassing certain #'s). Dylan's parents came in town to see him get his awards and spend some time with us.

Dylan is also the #1 DSF (Developing Sales Force, everyone in their first 5 years) in the NATION! They mentioned it but he didn't get an award for it. He will get recognized and get an award next month when we go to Disney World.

After the awards were given they had a mind reader there named Robert Channing. He was UNBELIEVABLE! Everyone had a note card and we all wrote down the most embarrassing time in our life, any number, a nickname, any question at all, and something else I can't remember. He was blindfolded and his eyes were duct taped. All the cards were in a bowl and he would pick one out, crumple it up and then call out the person and answer their question or tell them what was on the card. I mean I have NEVER seen anything like it before.

Here are some pictures from the Awards... Yeah Dylan for another GREAT year!
