The March Madness Widow Survival Guide 3.0
Hello friends, it’s that time of year again. The magical time when televisions will be tuned to CBS and grown men will agonize day and night over the hardwood exploits of young men from 68 schools from across the United States.
However, as some of you have found over the years, March Madness is not always fun if your partner spends all day and night in front of the TV and ignores you for days at a time.
This year, for the 3rd time, I am proud to bring you the March Madness Widow Survival Guide.
Each year I have given widows and widowers suggestions of things to do during the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament that will occupy their time and make sure that they don’t feel so lonely. This year I have 5 suggestions that you can dive right in to!
1. Pinterest: Yes, Pinterest. It’s awesome, the ladies love it and it just keeps getting more and more popular. You can have boards for red dresses, Ryan Gossling pics, accessories, shoes, food, beaches or all of the above. You can use Pinterest at home on your computer or on your phone. So, get to the website, follow me and PIN ALL THE THINGS!
2. Read The Hunger Games: I’m serious. I just bought and read all three books and would recommend them to all of you over and over and over again. Katniss is well written as a lonely, conflicted, confused young woman who grows and fights and ends up in a love triangle that reminds me of 90210 (the original) and Dawson’s Creek.
3. Start a Super Secret Club: Yup, I’m talking handshakes, passwords, uniforms, recipe swaps, fight club type shit! You can rotate the meetings between houses. You can do whatever you want. The possibilities are endless and you may even make your basketball obsessed boy a little jealous.
4. Cupakes: Bake them, Eat them, Review them, Blog them, Photograph them, Enjoy the hell out of them. There are a lot of great cupcakes out there. I suggest that you taste as many of them as you can. Pair them with milk, tea, coffee or whatever else you like to drink and let your taste buds savor the flavor.
5. Participate: Every year I make the same suggestion… and that will never change. Go out and fill in your bracket. Pick a team to cheer for. Get excited. Bet on games against your partner. Just have fun! It’s a fantastic time of year and a real opportunity to enjoy each other when you otherwise may not have.
There you go. 5 things to help you deal with March Madness Widow Syndrome. If you’d like to go back and get more suggestions check out the 1st and 2nd versions of the March Madness Widow Survival Guide. They are here to help you!
Enjoy the tournament!
