Gators in the Final Four!

Or, as Cody likes to say, they're going for a Back to Back to Baby Back. I thought that was pretty cute. Get it? Baby back? NIT? Pretty funny, huh? Anyway, now we're resting all our hopes for a season that was pretty dismissal in a tournament that we are still relatively embarassed to play in. Being the Gators - with the Back to Back Championships - people give you a lot of crap. Around here I've heard more then once "so, where are the Gators in the tourney?" I assumed they were asking this because their team (usually University of Missouri) was actually in the NCAA tournament (since the Gator's aren't in it I've pretty much ignored it). Well, NO! Mizzou (that's what they call the University of Missouri) isn't even in the NIT! If only I had checked this out I would have had such a great retort with all the Gator jokes about not being in the Big Dance. Well, at least now we have some hopes for a Back to Back to Baby Back and I've learned that there really are teams that don't even make the NIT (I sort of assumed everyone made it). :)

Aside from this, life is, as usual, nutty. More rain and storms. We lost power for a bit while Cody was at school (which is where he lives - over 9 hours of school a week plus working 40+ hours - doesn't sound like fun - better him then me) and I was freaked out and he wasn't here but now we have power (hense the computer and internet to post this) so life is good again. I'm just curious to see what floods next.

The flooring saga continues. You would think you'd just decide what you want, go to a store and buy it. Well, not us. We are obsessed, as always, with getting ALL available information, getting the best people to do the project for the best price (we refuse to overpay for things - okay, so we're thrifty (read: cheap)) and absolutely tormented by options. But we are moving forward. :)
