Spring is coming....

The sun is in my eyes once again while driving into work.... so spring is coming. By Saturday, the temps are supposed to be up to almost 60 again. Lets hope the snow has made it's last gasp.

The UCONN Women's Basketball team won the Big East Championship last night... now, on to the NCAA Tournament! The UCONN Men start their Big East Tournament tomorrow at noon.

We bought my son a new bed last night. He has wanted a futon for some time now, and his waterbed is ready to fall apart.. so we finally broke down (the thought of water cascading down the stairs from his room helped us decide). This week, I have to empty his bed, take it down and set up the new one.

Other than that, not too much new today.

5. You Know You're in a Redneck Church if... a member of the church requests to be buried in his 4-wheel-drive truck because "It ain't never been in a hole it couldn't get out of" (Love it!)

6. You Know You're in a Redneck Church if ... the choir is known as the "OK Chorale".

7. You Know You're in a Redneck Church if ... in a congregation of 500 members, there are only seven last names in the church directory.

8. You Know You're in a Redneck Church if ... people think "rapture" is what you get when you lift something too heavy.

9. You Know You're in a Redneck Church if ... the baptismal pool is a #2 galvanized "Wheeling"washtub.

10. You Know You're in a Redneck Church if ... the choir robes were donated by (and embroidered with the logo from) Billy Bob's Barbecue.

11. You Know You're in a Redneck Church if ... the collection plates are really hubcaps from a '56 Chevy.

12. You Know You're in a Redneck Church if ... instead of a bell you are called to service by a duck call.

13. You Know You're in a Redneck Church if ... the minister and his wife drive matching pickup trucks.
