This is shaping up to be one of the more entertaining weeks of 2009. A lot is going on…

1. St. Patrick’s Day: I may not be Irish, but I still think a day where you can pinch people for not wearing clothing with a certain color is a great idea. I think we should have more holidays that follow this tradition. Maybe we should beat people who don’t wear brown on Arbor Day…just a thought.

In addition to the whole pinching thing, I will be participating in an all-you-can-eat pancake and sausage fundraiser at school on Tuesday. I have been mentally training for this challenge for about 2 months, I will have 1 hour and 15 minutes to put as much food in my body as possible. I expect to eat quite a bit, so I think I’m going to buy elastic banded pants for that day.

2. Spending time with my Sister: Getting to spend time with family becomes more and more of a treat as time goes on. Living in California is wonderful for the most part, but nothing can beat some quality time with my family!

3. The Big Dance: The whole David vs. Goliath thing is overhyped, the people at CBS get a bit cheesy at times, and the fact that so much money is wasted to get schools across the country to play in front of half-filled arenas…in spite of all that it is March Madness. Crazy, entertaining games are on all day, the games seem to consistently go down to the wire, and you go from one game right into the next on TV! My prediction for the championship game: OU vs. UCONN. I’ll get into predictions round by round as they come later in the week…

Like I said, it looks like a promising week is ahead.
