The Hubby and I are headed for a quick trip to Dallas to see our favorite NBA team(s). I am going to cheer on my Los Angeles Lakers, while Barret has chosen to be a traitor and root for the Dallas Mavericks. I am appalled that he has decided to do this, but I have created a small list for reasons not to disown him (1) he is the designated trip driver (2) he is the responsible one in this relationship i.e-- keeping up with car keys, game tickets, money {important things like that} (3) Lamar Odom now plays for the Mavs, so if i get the opportunity to see Khloe all will be forgiven.

My love for the Lakers began almost 2 years ago when we were on our 1 year anniversary vacation in Charleston, South Carolina. The Lakers were playing the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. One night we had an amazing meal at the delicious The Library Restaurant and then had cocktails atop the fabulous Rooftop Bar. We had so much fun watching the game and enjoying the delightful summer weather. Throughout the rest of the trip we tuned into the Lakers, even cheering them on to their championship win. And that's when the love affair began...

One player in particular, Pau Gasol, has me drawn to the Lakers. For the longest time, my husbands fellow basketball teammates have said that he looks and plays similar to this 7 foot giant. No, Barret isn't seven foot tall, but he does have abnormally long arms/legs and poses a slight resemblance to the NBA superstar. I certainly hope that he get the chance for a photo opportunity, but chances are it will be from a distance. Here's to dreaming though! You guys should check out this televised gamed between the Mavericks and the Lakers Wednesday March 21 9:30 (eastern time) on ESPN.
