I turned my heat off before I left for KS a little over week ago thinking that I wouldn't have to turn it back on until maybe October...ha. The wintry weather that has been hanging around the past three days has made me once again click the little switch to 'on'. What's sad is that I only have it on 60 - and it still comes on to heat this apartment. Come on, Chicago - it's the middle of April. At least today, the sun is out - so hopefully I can take a stroll to a coffee shop and do some Sunday reading. Gotta soak up this sun before it goes away again.
My week in KS was really great. Mom and Dad's new "BBB&B" (formerly known as 'The Girls' Room', you all can take a guess at what those 4 B's stand for) is a really nice addition to home...I still marvel at the fact that there were 3 of us living in that room until Katie headed up the Hill. I took quite a trip down memory lane as I went through Sterlite container after Sterlite container filled with the remnants of what used to be in that old room...and of course kept some of those precious keepsakes that I'll soon forget about until we have to clean out the garage someday.
Although, I was planning to go home no matter what happened with the NCAA tournament, it was sure nice to be there for the 2 big wins over UNC and Memphis - and then heading to Mass. St. to celebrate. I'm still in shock that we actually claimed the championship - it's unreal how basketball can give you so much pride in your alma mater. What a game! What a season! What a team!
In case you want to relive the moment that had all of us screaming - check out these videos from a few choice locations.

The Granada (Lawrence, KS):
Allen Fieldhouse (Lawrence, KS):
And of course, the Alamodome (some profanity):

I think the initials stand for "Big Bi$$$'s Bed & Breakfast" or maybe "Bath, bed, breakfast and Bit%%ing (about anything in general)"
So...it has to be nice in Chicago to take a stroll to a coffeshop? That whole inside door to the one downstairs doesn't work if it's not nice out? :)
Hi Mitzi,
I just managed to restumble on your site. Thanks for the vids! Awesome!!
I was watching the game in Sacramento with the Kansas Alumni Assoc chapter here. Some of the alums were crying. It was so great.
Hope things are great for you. Say hi to Liesel!
It was great to have you here during this exciting time. Glad you enjoyed the stay in the B to the 4th power room.
