Now, let's go shopping...

When I think things couldn't get any better, I had the most exciting thing happen last night. I cheered, I laughed, I cried. And you wonder what this wonderful thing was? It was Kansas winning the NCAA Tournament. That's right.


Not only did I win my family pool ($60), but I also came in 3rd at my office pool ($10), in which I was the only girl. There is nothing like beating a bunch of men at something sports related. Oh, they get so pissed. I got the following text message from my brother Austin last night:

Me and Dad agree that we are tired of seeing you woman win the freakin' pool

I had even received the following voicemail from my dad earlier in the day:

THE MEMPHIS TIGERS ARE GOING TO DESTROY THE KANSAS JAYHAWKS! YOU'RE GOING DOWN!
I capitalize this only to demonstrate the awesomeness of the situation....

And so last night, as the males in my life went to bed mad, I cracked open a Coke, sat on the couch, thought about my new found money and shopped for shoes online.

I must mention that your celebration is only a result of Memphis being unable to shoot free throws. I am sure that you knew this fact due to your extensive research, it was because of your expert knowledge of this fact that you won the pool.

Nice Nat... I wish I could say I did so well in my office pool, but I was way off. And that's the last time my husband will help me with my bracket.

What's with everyone having an office pool? I LOVE swimming!

Congrats, Nat. You are a sports GENIUS! It's incredible.

What kind of shoes did you buy me?

Oh Nat, I love ya! I am so proud of you for winning. Although I can brag and say I did pick Kansas to win the whole championship, I didn't do that great on the rest of my bracket. Props to you! I am excited to see you in a month or so!

Amen sister! That is a beautiful feeling. Sadly to say I didn't win the pool this year... but two years ago I was the ONLY person in my fam (the in-laws) that had Florida winning it all. My in-laws are crazy competitive and it was so awesome to beat them at their game! Congrats.
