is it just me?

I enjoy the Sports Guy on espn.com, but they are also currently featuring the NCAA picks of the sports gal, who had this to say:

Marquette (6) over Cornell (14): Maybe I could talk myself into the Bucks GM thing if we lived somewhere near Marquette; I always thought it seemed like a nice school. Also, I'd be considered a twig if we lived in Wisconsin. Everyone would tell me how skinny I was all the time and ask me where I worked out and what I did. I could introduce the women there to pilates and explain to them the dangers of brats and cheese curds. I like the thought of being regarded as an exercise pioneer even if it wasn't true.

HA! She is so right. It is easy to feel kind of thin in Wisconsin, but then you have to go to a wedding in LA and you are faced with the impending doom of feeling like the giant pasty cow that you are. Anyway, I also had Marquette winning a couple of times, but that didn't end so well. That is a theme for my bracket this year, which has completely gone to shit. Alas. Two years ago I came in second in my work pool, and it all came down to the final game. Last year I actually WON the pool at my husband's work, but that wasn't very exciting because I didn't get to go to work and gloat about it. But this year, well, this year all that comes to an end. Unless, say, they let Georgetown play a re-match. Even then, though, I still probably lose. Sigh. The good news is that Wisconsin is doing great and will maybe even make it to the Elite Eight. So, there's that.

no CSI needed
You know how in crime shows they have that stuff that they spray and then they shine a light and if it is blood it glows purple? (I assume this is a real product, but maybe it's made up like all the rest of that stuff.) Anyway, I was thinking today that if they had such a thing for milk, and if you sprayed it all over my clothes, carpets and (especially) the inside of my car, they would light up like a Christmas tree. Seriously. Twice last week as I was dropping of baby Liz someone pointed out to me that she had poured milk down my back. This is why I do not expend excessive amounts of energy getting ready for work.

taxes
I was doing some tax research today and came across something that said "If you are married filing separately and have been living apart for the whole tax year, then you can each contribute x dollars." And I thought, if you are married filing separately and have been living apart the whole tax year then you probably want to think about getting divorced.
