Spin on Surviving Madmen in March
A recent, actual conversation involving college basketball, about which my husband feels more passionately than the three S's virtually anything:
Me: "So you must be pretty psyched about the Tournament this year, huh?"
Husband: "YES."
Me: "And if we win all our games, leading up to the Final Four?"
Husband: [quivering] "YES! Very excited."
Me: "And our TV will be only allowed on...."
Husband: "College basketball, baBY!"
Me: "And what if we are IN the Final Four? Where is it this year... in Texas, right?"
Husband: [pause] "Yeah. Right. In Texas North."
Me: "Texas Nor..."
Husband: "Otherwise known as Detroit."

So, where's the survival part?--I'm being totally serious here, I finished the last sleeve of Thin Mints while my husband was working late. Then I emailed him to let him know.
Payback is hell.

Nicely done, Thin Mint scarfing is the best revenge.
I so hear you.
I hate March.
We should plan lots of weekend outings in April as revenge (and eat all the junk food.)
Basketball or thin mints? You chose the best! ;)
If only there was a sanctuary for all wives who turn invisible during March madness! Once hubby even begins to dream of the possiblity of "FINALS", I can forget about any chance of catching his attention away from the TV. Hooray for chocolate and blogging!!
I don't much care for B-ball, but I love to bet on the teams!
we are all about the football here. And by we, I actually mean mostly me. March is a free month for us.
If I ate the last thin mint I would probably be assasinated.
Love the Thin Mint scarfing!!!
Well Miss CDB I see you everywhere, we visit a lot of the same places and you always leave me the nicest comments (thank you about my cat..that broke my heart) so I thought it was about time I brought myself over here and had a look around. I love what I see :) I'll warn you now, I comment on just about everything :o if I get on your nerves just kick me ;) I hope you have a great day! Love, Kathy
Oh yes, I am your newest stalker..lol I mean follower :D yay ♥
Michigan is not like Texas! In Texas, law abiding citizens get to carry firearms.. in Michigan- only the bad guys!
Oh man, I am SO glad my hubby isn't into college sports. He is already SO obsessed with pro sports that I just wouldn't be able to take it. I might have to divorce him. Seriously.
Oh yeah....hit him where it hurts! Right in the cookies!
Ouch, you lynched the Mints? Nice! Survival of the fittest be damned! You're linked!
Bwahahahaha! Good for you! Emailing him afterwords was a nice touch!
