Go ILLINI! Day #10/365

In about a month the 2009-2010 Illinois men's basketball season kicks off...WOOOOOOOOOOO!! I can't wait. There's nothing like screaming at the TV over a good BB game lol!

I would like to take this opportunity to educate my BFF Leslie...Repeat after me..." ILL-EYE'-NIGH"
Say it again..."ILL-EYE'-NIGH" The crowd at the Assembly Hall in Champaign-Urbana take turns shouting I-L-L....answered by...I-N-I....it ryhmes with that. Now the next time you say "Ill-eeen-knee" I will turn you over my knee and spank you (don't think I can? uh huh...keep on keeping on)

That's me in my mom's Illinois football XXX giant t-shirt she insisted on wearing right up to the end...I miss you mom...GO ILLINI!

Everyone Loves the Fighting Illini (well maybe not people in Indiana)

And people in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Iowa but who's counting?

It' s great seeing every other person sporting their Illinois shirts. I wish I was brave enough to ask to take their pictures but there are too many of them. I don't have that much room left on my memory card lol.

The baby is getting jaundiced so not sure when she'll be home. :(

It's a Nice Day for a White Wedding

"Don't move to Colorado...it's cold there!" Uh.... yeah... that's why these people are out in January dressed like this....Don't get me wrong...it gets cold...it just warms up whenever the sun is out. Hard to explain to the flatlanders back in Illinois.
