Still Procrastinating In 2011

I believe Spring has sprung here in Central Kentucky. I thank the groundhog for his prediction of an early Spring. It almost reached fifty degrees yesterday while walking the dogs for the first time in 2011. They predict in the fifties today and an unbelievable 65 tomorrow....what? I can't wait. Then, I think I saw about four days in a row of rain, but then, isn't that what Spring is all about? I better get the last of the bulbs planted, I'm a procrastinator, remember?

Mark and I had a really fun and nostalgic trip to Bowling Green over the weekend. Our Bowling Green circle of friends finally had a kid get married. Years ago, we had a cookout and the guys proudly held their little babies while we looked into the future and saw lots of wedding parties ahead. Well, we finally had our first. These kids wait so much later to get hitched these days. All our kids are nearing thirty now, the ages of us parents when we had them. All in all, it was a great time! We always enjoy celebrating with old friends. FYI, the couple was actually married in Las Vegas on 8-9-10 at 11:12. The reception was a Las Vegas theme at the Corvette Museum, really neat!!

I hear the Grammy's were given out Sunday night. I don't watch those awards any more. Too much of a spectacle for shock value. Many of the artists are more interested in outdoing each other by being more outrageous in appearance and behavior. Have they forgotten that it's supposed to be about the music? It was nice to see that Barbra Streisand was performing and that so many country artists were up for overall awards. This is a growing trend that I am finally happy to see come around. It was nice to see Lady Antebellum win for the Best Song, I Need You Now. It's a great song. Nice to see Rap receive awards in their own category only. Is that really music?

Valentine's Day has come and gone. Nice to have a day to remember all those you love, not just that special someone. I hope everyone felt loved and showed love to others on that day, as well as every other day.

This time of year, I'm thinking about taxes. Not pleasant, I know, just part of life. Good luck with getting all of yours done.

If you watched the UK/Vandy game on Saturday, you saw the Wildcats continue to spread happiness throughout the SEC. Thankfully, last night's game against MSU was at home in Rupp. It didn't look like our typical home games, where we go out to a comfortable lead, only to let the opponent get close near the end. No, this time we managed to remain behind the entire first half and finally went on a 15-4 run that put us up for good, although still leaving the door open for the Bulldogs in the final seconds. I hope they do something about this one and done method of using college basketball merely as a springboard for the NBA. These teams of Kiddycats are killing me.

I hope you're experiencing an early Spring in your part of the country. Before I blog again I hope to unpack a box from our 2008 move, get those bulbs planted and start our 2010 taxes. You have a great day, luv, Susan
