Good Thing I Didn't Watch...

I went to www.sltrib.com to read up on the game that I didn't get to see. But I now realize, it was probably a good thing I got to bed on time and had nice dreams. Dang Jazz! Dang Lakers! All the pics online this morning have a common theme. The Utah Jazz look tired, dejected & done. They have a mental block when it comes to the Lakers. I still hope for a miracle. We should at least win at home. But until the Jazz can beat the Lakers in the paint & shoot better than 38%, this series could end quickly.

So Close...

Many will say that this game was never close. But when you consider the comeback win that almost was, the Jazz were well on their way. After being down 14 points, the "scrappy" Utah Jazz had a great open to the 4th quarter. The bench showed up and went on a 10-1 run against the second-string Lakers. Best moment: Boozer & D-Will on the sideline with grins while Kobe sat with an open mouth. The Jazz went on to have a 4-point lead with 4 minutes to play. Too bad we couldn't make a field goal down the stretch. The Jazz lost 104-99. I will say there is some good to come of this. Our second-string players showed that they can step up and make big plays when needed. If Utah can steal the 2nd game in LA, they have an excellent shot at surviving this series. Go Jazz!

Beware of Men In Black...

We own a scaredy dog. At times, she is even scared of US!

Last night, we got home and went to our bedroom to change. Lily followed us like usual. Brian grabbed his cap & gown (all black) to try it on. Immediately, Lily's "nervous ridge" on her back popped out, her tail was on full alert, and she barked like crazy! She even ran out of the room and came back to bark some more. Plus, she pittled a little on our carpet. Highly traumatized! Brian took the hat off, and she relaxed. The robe didn't bother her, but the ridiculous grad cap was EVIL! Poor Lily...

Busted!

Word to the wise: NEVER leave your favorite candy unattended & out in the open.

While Brian's Easter candy has been gone for days, I was fortunate to have a little bit to enjoy on Sunday. I had saved my favorite for last: a Reese's Pieces carrot (so scrumptious). I went off to take an afternoon nap with Lily by my side. Brian came home from a meeting & cozied up to the tv. I wandered into the living room as my thieving husband was putting the candy in his pocket. The shame and surprise on his face was priceless. After sharing a laugh, we ate up the Reese's together. I'll remember next time...
