Can not believe that the tournament is here!! Seems like yesterday the games were just starting up!! Mountain West had 4 teams in the tournament. The UNM Lobos sure put some teams to the test. They ended their road to the Final Four with a loss to Louisville. I was hoping for an upset, but it didn't happen. They did play pretty good for the most part. Just wasn't meant to be, though. But that's OK. At least they got to go. They did win the MWC title. BYU also got to go, too. They did pretty awesome in the first game against Iona. I think Iona just got tired out in the 2nd half. That was good!! Ha. Anyway the Cougars did pretty well but they lost to Marquette. Then Duke, Missouri and a few other top favorites lost!!! Sure messed up my bracket picks. I think I have one that has a team still in the tournament. I think they almost lost today. Guess I'll be cheering for them.
The wind is sure blowing hard today. I think it also set the alarm off at the house next to us. My nephew and his girlfriend were here. She was sitting in her car when the police showed up!! I guess they started questioning her about why she was in the car...........with the engine running!!! It probably scared her to death with the questions. In the meantime the other officer came to the door and said "We're here about your alarm going off. It did go off, right?" I just looked at him like WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!! Then he said "You do have an alarm?" I said No. Then he asked if this was the address they were suppose to be at. I said, it's that house, pointing to that house. "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was it." Hello? Did you even look at the number on the house??? No. Anyway that officer said to the other one, "Wrong house." In the meantime the homeowner was standing at the fence trying to get their attention!! So they went over there. My nephew and his girlfriend left immediately. They thought they might come back and harrass them. I don't know why the police do that to them. I wonder if it's because my nephew is Black. That's not fair to him or us.
So the winds are roaring through the city. My other nephew showed me a picture of downtown where some things were blown over. Pretty scary. I had to drive up by the mountains earlier and take my niece to work. I used the interstate and the drive was scary. I thought the car was going to get blown over!! And this big semi was in front of me going pretty slow!! Yep, pretty slow. Don't see that often. But I made it to Tramway and then had to stop at McDonald's to get the niece what she wanted to eat. Again, I thought the car was going to tip over with that wind. I high-tailed it out of there as soon as I got the food and went to her place. Then she came outside and said "Wow! I didn't know it was this windy!" She said she could hear the wind and she was sneezing. Guess allergies are bothering her. They are bothering me pretty bad. Worse that before. It's been quite some time since I had allergies bother me this bad. I don't like it. I think I've gone through 3 boxes of kleenex since it started. That was about 1 1/2 weeks ago. Oh No!! Someone's patio umbrella is blowing down the street!! I don't think it's going to be in good shape once they get it back, if they know it's gone. It's way down the street. That's crazy.
I am once again back at trying to put some cards together. I have got some done. I'm trying to get these invitations done for my niece's 1st birthday. That's in like 2 1/2 weeks. I am glad that people like what I put together. I bought some really cool things to make even more cooler cards. I can't wait for the world to see them!! Ha. Probably just my world will see them.
Well, I better get going. The time is coming when I have to close up shop. That means the library is about to close!! My comp at home is not feeling well these days. Must be allergies. :)
