Yes, it’s March Madness in the Carolinas and it’s craziness.  No one actually works this week..just stares at brackets all week.  So last year I filled out a bracket.  As a joke.  Because I do not ever and I mean never watch college basketball.  I did pretty good on the first round but that’s about it.  I filled out another one Monday for this year for the pool at work (although just for fun) and also was invited to Jane’s pool and guess what, ya’ll?? I’m tied for first place after 8 games.  I’m 8/8!  Woot!  I’m sure it will all slide downhill at some point but for now it’s kinda cool!

So I met with my editor friend and she showed me the layout of the magazine coming out.  The one of me by myself is on the front and two different ones of me and the girls are on the inside along with an article.  Should be coming out right around Easter so only a few more weeks!

I’m literally sick to my stomach this morning.  It all goes back to a friend I sent a letter to Friday basically laying out the gospel inviting him to accept Christ.  I did, maybe naively, through email.  And he hasn’t emailed me back.  And although I don’t require an “answer” to whether he might accept Christ or not, I would like to know if I’ve lost a friend.  Because that would really suck.  And I would miss him greatly.  Because one of the main reasons I’ve been thinking about talking to him at all is the thought that I may spend eternity in heaven without him.  And he’s really that much of a good friend.  That I would miss him for eternity.  And I couldn’t live with knowing that I had the invitation in my hand and hadn’t given it to him.  And really honestly, I didn’t want to write the letter to him at all but the Holy Spirit prodded me until I could do nothing else except write it and send it.  And yet, knowing the Holy Spirit moved me to do it, I still wonder if it was the right thing.  Because knowing I still might have lost him for eternity sucks even more.  So please pray for peace for me and a calm stomach and for him.  That whether he accepts now or in twenty years or never that he knows that I love him as a friend and I don’t want to lose that friendship.

Woot!  So my Mom and sister got back from NY on Sunday night.  The only thing they bought me was this Office t-shirt and I’m super excited about it.  She thought about buying me the I love Jim t-shirt and although it probably fits me better, I’m not sure I could actually go to the gym with Jim’s picture on my chest.  Well, maybe I could.

Thank you, lungs, for realizing you CAN let the mucus go.  It’s ok, really, you’ll be better without it. 

I can’t remember last time I’ve coughed so much.  My abs actually hurt from coughing so much.  And what’s worse is most of the coughing is unproductive.  I had to sleep in yesterday because I was so tired and worn out from coughing through the night.  But last night, except for getting up at 3am for the dog I slept the entire night and don’t remember coughing at all.  This morning I’m coughing but they seem to be productive.

Hehe.  Yes, schools closed today for our big ice storm.  Scott did confirm for me there were snow flurries around 2:30am last night and sleet for a good hour.  But my mom went out around 9:30 and said the roads were completely fine.  We do have icicles hanging off things but I’m not sure if it warranted schools closing but that’s the way it goes around here.
