oh you know....

I love March. It's true. You can almost bet that anytime you turn on the tv college basketball is going to be on. And that's really really fantastic. It's also season changing time so it's getting warmer and the days start getting longer - that ALWAYS brings a smile.

Last night Bri and I played frisbee and did some rather amazing gymnastics on the grounds of our state capital & I'll have to tell you it was some of the most random fun I've had in a long time. I mean, frisbee golf aiming for statues and memorials of our state leaders, handstands in front of the confederate flag, ballet and "snow globe-ing" on the front steps...you can't get much better. I'll be honest when I tell you that I am pretty much one of the most amazing gymnists you'll ever meet. Sure, Bri used to be in "competitions" but I'm sure if you ask her she'll bow gracefully down to my greatness. We had an audience - and I told her you either have an audience if you're REALLY bad or REALLY good ---- and I voted the later of the two. haha.

Yesterday afternoon my dad and I hungout. It was super. We went to the gun store to get some bullets and targets, then went out to the shooting range in Newberry where I got to shoot 3 different hand-guns, including a 22, 25 and 357 magnum. That's right...it was awesome. Then we went out to the woods and walked around -- "hiked" if you will -- and looked for turkey tracks, etc. for when turkey season opens in a few weeks, so my dad could scout out where he was going to go. We stopped at this little hole in the wall convenience store and I got a good laugh when I saw a sign on the cork board by the door. You know people don't tend to leave the small town they grow up in when you see this on the bulletin board of the convenience store: "Mid-Carolina class of 1976 it's time for our 30 year class reunion!! Call Dan." It was great.

I got to go to Clemson for a few days this week. Went to the dam and skipped rocks, ate at ancheaux's, walked around campus under the stars, watched a movie and hungout by the fire with my beau, had breakfast @ pot belly deli with Linds, which was really great, got to see Leslie play in the intramural girls basketball championship in Littlejohn & sit and chat with her for awhile about life, got to eat lots of ice cream with AJ while making her fall on the floor in laughter on aisle 14 (yes, I have pictures of this), and got to see the Tigers win their first round game of the NIT on the front row. Yes, you can all be jealous of these things. haha.

OK - now I must go get in the shower b/c I just got back from a run, so I can catch the 2nd half of the Duke - George Washington game.

Hope y'all are doing awesome. PEACE...

PS - I really don't like the Applebee's commercial where the 2 guys are playing instruments and singing an applebee's song to the Gilligan's Island theme tune. For some reason it just gets to me...maybe b/c it's on ALL THE TIME. It just came on, so I thought I'd throw that out there.

You would like it, Blake....weirdo. haha, juuuust kidding. But yea, I'll agree with you - the "tewer" is a lil' catchy....but why do they ruin it by having to play it every time there is a commercial? I mean geez louise. Once or twice wouldn't be bad....
