Bad Combination

Unemployed + NCAA playoffs = very bad set-up

Somehow my motivation to get out there and look for a job has evaporated. As if the dreariness of looking wasn't bad enough! Before, at least the alternative was very boring. But no more. And to add to the excitement of watching, Asael is home, also not very occupied, to "watch" with. Let's see if there's any self-control tucked away deep down in there. Or obedience. Or guilt. Or anything that will get me off the couch.

In the meantime, HOORAY for BYU finally advancing in the NCAA tournament!!! And nice game it was (even if they only showed a little of it--apparently no one in this area cares, so CBS in Boston almost completely ignored it).

And good thing BYU did win, because it tempered my sadness for the game I did get to watch: Robert Morris v. Villanova. As I commented to Hyrum (also watching with me via phone), it's ridiculous that I was so invested in a school that I know nothing about (well, I looked it up after). To me, it didn't really matter who they were. They played a beautiful game and came SOOO close. Sadness.

If you know me at all, you know that I always, always cheer for the underdog. Unless I have an extremely personal connection to the supposed favorites (read: player who is closely connected to me, usually must be a sibling) --and even then, there's a little piece of my heart going for the other team. This particular characteristic makes my bracket selection not very accurate, so I declined the boys' invitations to play with them. But, with Old Dominion and almost RMU, I could have scored some points. Sigh.

Hopefully that will be the last post about basketball. Hopefully. But it sure is nice not to have projects and finals looming during and after....

Now, to go make some chicken pot pie. Any of you ever made real chicken pot pie--with pastry crust? I've made the mock stuff plenty of times, but not this and I'm excited but worried. Ah, my life.
