The Charlotte Times (at least for now): Love gloating! ROCK CHALK

The days when you truly appreciate living in North Carolina

1. 1. When the weather is generally lovely 75% of the time and you look at the weather in London / Kansas and appreciate NC

2. KU BEATS Roy and you get to go to work and see all these smug UNC people, and I can just smile and know they know what I’m thinking “We beat you…we beat you…nah nah na na nah….” Do you think Roy is going to have a “I can’t beat KS curse”…could be!

3. 3. When you know the beach is just a 4 hour drive away and you are going to Hilton Head soon! YEAH!

That’s us….so excited to go lay on the beach with a book, and of course a hat, 50 spf, etc. etc.

There are tons more things I love love love about NC, but being at work today with all these UNC fans is just about my number one of 2012

How was everyone’s weekend? You are never gonna believe it….I made something DISGUSTING! I mean absolutely terrible. It was this “orange chicken” recipe and it was supposed to be like at a Chinese restaurant but it was so gross. Burr made me eat some of it but YUCK. Luckily Burr made some delicious fried rice that made up for it, but EWWWWWWWWW.

I did however, make fabulous oatmeal cookies for Burr on Sunday night with my new Kitchen aid Mixer – thank you Bill and Barbara for the Amazon gift card! I LOVE it!!

Weekend consisted of visiting Henry Bowman – age 7 days, lots of basketball, jazzercise, hair appt, PwC spring party, and lots of time with Burr. Doesn’t sound like we were very productive huh? Well we weren’t. Burr mowed the grass – so that was productive, we did laundry, and we double checked the maid comes back this week – THANK GOODNESS.

The PwC party was fine, except for the pre-party Burr made us attend. Remember when you were in college and before the party you would get a close group of friends together to “pre-drink.” – (Note – I said REMEMBER when you were in college, we’re 30 now). So Burr somehow convinces his poor little staff to invite us to the pre-party, poor guy was probably to embarrassed to say NO – YOU’RE OLD! So, Burr convinced 2 other managers to this pre-party as well. After lots of driving around, Burr carrying a case of beer, and us wandering around an apartment complex, we hear the music and we’ve arrived!! O M G…are you kidding me?! This guy has transformed his studio apartment into a flip cup table, there is chips and dip out and he even has a kegorator. I notice he has been living there for at least a year and he has 1 thing on the wall – it’s a score keeper, no rugs, no other pictures. Hello – college dude? Every girl there has a miniature dress on – like you should really wear leggings dresses – and they’ve had their hair done in “up-do’s” – I die. I was SO embarrassed and that was definitely the longest 45 minutes of my entire weekend. Finally we got to leave and go to the real party, where Burr certainly heard enough of me going “You get you are 30 right? and those people thought you were uber-weird for coming, right?!” UGH. I think I got us out of pre-parties for a long long time, thank goodness.

So in conclusion. WE ARE GOING TO THE FINAL FOUR, WE ARE GOING TO THE FINAL FOUR, WAOOOOOOO. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!! BEAK ‘EM HAWKS! - See pic of Clare yesterday :-)
