  WARNING it is rapidly approaching the time of year when every post on this website is guaranteed to involve at least some mention of brackets,  bragging,  drinking recaps,  and ncaa basketball ( i will remind the jury of this point in time last year,  when the boy and i spent an entire saturday drinking and watching basketball,
 except for extended pauses for other sweet diversions,  [ and,  in case you've forgotten,  the end of this day of delights culminated in perhaps urlLink the best picture of myself i've ever seen { if i do say so myself}
 not to mention how last year i got totally obsessed with that craig kilborne commercial,  where he's filling out his bracket and he murmurs urlLink 'the huskies,  the big- boned team' to himself [ and if you suspect that i am totally,  completely hoping and almost praying that this commercial makes a triumphant return for this year's tourney,
 you are 139 percent correct]  and all this past evidence ought to make you see that i adore march madness)  and even though this year i will have to do a bunch of work- related tasks ( something like the super bowl but hopefully one- tenth of the stress and involvement)
 during one or two of the games -  and can you believe,  i even asked my boss last week if i could take off on the friday of the dance,  to stay home and watch and drink and enjoy,  and he said,  flat-
out,  'no,  we need you here, ' but i'm going to ask again,  just in case he changes his mind -  i am still planning on enjoying every single moment of basketball,
 bracket bragging,  and beer as i possibly can.  so,  all i'm saying is,  if you're not huge on college basketball fan,  and you can't stand march madness or drinking stories or complaining about gonzaga losing when i was certain they'd go all the way or pictures of drunk girls on the verge of passing out with hand-
drawn 'DAD' tattoos on their biceps,  you probably want to come back a little while later.
