51 days until britney in atlanta
62 days until march madness
79 days until the final four
114 days until graduate school graduation

start of my last semester of graduate school...woo woo! enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend of ballgames, girls day, and movies...


sad finish for my titans...but if you don't have the ball you can't score...3 turnovers and way too many penalties...its hard to win...and just think -- we just lost by 4...needless to say we had our chances...

the vols finally got a W this weekend against geo
rgia...still don't think they are playing very good but to get a road win is always a plus...big game versus billy g and the cats on tuesday night @ 9 on espn2...

the lady vols lost a tough one on the road at vandy...i would have hated to be on that bus ride home...game was sloppy and no one really stepped up...

so the golden globes were last night...and my fave dressed celeb was eva mendes...she looked gorgeous! and i love loved her jewelry...

so tom brady and gisele are officially engaged now...rumors swirled around christmas that tommy boy had popped the question...but allegedly it actually happened over the weekend...props to them...they are very pretty people.

supergator tim tebow is returning to florida next year...i figured he would...he seems to truly enjoy the college game and he is a hero to so many...if spikes and harvin stay they are going to be scary good again next year...i see the potential to resemble the 2006/2007 gator basketball back 2 back champs...with the tandems of noah, horford, brewer, and greene...gator nation would be really lucky...

saw bride wars over the weekend...cute, fun girl movie! great scenery in nyc and the wardrobe was top notch..would def recommend

hope everyone has a lovely monday!
song of the week: mad -- neyo, click to hear how goooooood it is!
