easter sunday

easter was fun. first we went to church at my sister sara’s catholic church. we were raised methodist but she’s marrying a catholic so she converted. it was such a looong service (an hour and a half!). then we went to lunch at the flamingo which is always entertaining. then we went to see ice age which was really cute. after all the family fun with my family i went home and met up with jon (who had to work all day). we headed out to his parent’s house for easter dinner with them and marsha and larry. marsha and larry are awesome! they are the couple who flew us to vegas for our honeymoon. everyone was a little lit by the time we got there due to heavy wine consumption. it was a fun time and we even got easter baskets.

friday night

jon and i rented jay and silent bob strike back. it was pretty darn funny. the gag reel was good. i had read that it was a movie full of inside jokes and i guess that was true. we’re big kevin smith fans so we had to watch it. harmless entertainment. we grilled again…shrimp and steaks and squash and zuchini. so good.

saturday

mom and i made my little sister morgan’s birthday party invites. nothing like waiting til the last minute mom. the party is friday. they turned out really cute though.

then jon came home and we dyed eggs. word to the wise…do not buy the dudley sparkle egg kit!! now i am a sucker for anything with sparkle in the title. but this is a trick! the process involves filling a big bowl with water then you drop the dye on the surface of the water, swirl your egg through it and sprinkle the sparkles on it resulting in a beautiful sparkly egg right? wrong! the dye is oil based making everything it touches all sticky. it barely sticks to the egg though, so most of it slid off and left a faint trace of color on my eggs. and to top it all off you have to clean up with rubbing alcohol!! who would do this to a kid? this was a lot of trouble for us much less your average 5 year old. give me regular fizzy dye tablets any day!

the good friday five

1. If you could eat dinner with and “get to know” one famous person (living or dead), who would you choose? that’s a really tough one and i think the answer would change regularly. right now i think dinner at the osbourne’s would be awfully fun.

2. Has the death of a famous person ever had an effect on you? Who was it and how did you feel? i was really shocked and saddened by princess diana’s death. when i was just a wee child i watched her get married and then a few years later i visited london. i’d always really liked her. she always seemed so elegant and gracious.

3. If you could BE a famous person for 24 hours, who would you choose? madonna

4. Do people ever tell you that you look like someone famous? Who? people used to tell me that i look like victoria jackson from saturday night live (the blonde from way back), and i’ve heard i look like jennifer tilly. but mostly i look like your friend’s cousin’s girlfriend.

5. Have you ever met anyone famous? i had dinner 2 tables over from dixie carter a few years ago but we never actually met. i guess that’s as close as i’ve ever come to meeting a celebrity.

fun tv

i haven’t watched south park in a long time, but the husband and i caught it last night and it was a riot! but we were totally confused as to where kenny was. so i went to comedycentral.com to investigate. i can’t believe they killed him for good! he’s not even in the opening song anymore. poor kenny.

on a lighter note…we also watched good eats– we love alton brown. he was all about tea last night. and we caught greg the bunny. so funny!

feelin crafty

well, i’ve finally finished our honeymoon scrapbook. i finished it the other night. i’m so glad to have that done. i mean we have been married for a year now. now i can get started scrapping year 2001. jeez, i’m so behind. i need to catch up so i’m not always a year behind. i’ve also picked up my afghan that i’ve been working on for the last 2 years!! ok- not 2 years every day or anything, just when the mood would strike. it obviously wasn’t striking very often! i’m only about a third of the way finished. by the time i’m done my 1st grandchild can take it to college!

yak pak

i got my $10 3 pack of bags from yak pak. i got the same 3 bags jenny did. they are pretty good for $10. the fanny pack is HUGE, and there was this “apartment bag”, and a little tiny pink bag. not too sure what the apartment bag is supposed to be. but i’m pretty happy with what i got.

had training all day today at work. then jon and i went to dinner at monterrey for mexican. now he’s got the itch to go to krispy kreme.

friday night was date night

we had a big time. we went to dinner at qdoba then milled about in a cool garden store. had coffee & hot chocolate (for me, i’m not a coffee girl) & a cannoli at dean and deluca. then we went to see the count of monte cristo with our free passes. nice cheapo phillipo date. we had fun. oh- and we checked out the pottery shop over there at stonecrest called what a dish. nice selection, but they charge a $6/hr studio fee. too pricey for my blood. i’ll stick with meg art. i still have a gift cert from christmas to use there.

how cute is this rabbit??

ow

i woke up at 5 am this morning because my head hurt so much. you know it’s bad when you wake up to hurt. i took an imitrex and it didn’t help. i took another one at 7:30. didn’t help. i just want one day where it doesn’t hurt. i can’t believe i’m looking forward to a cat scan so much!

74th Annual Academy Awards

everyone’s talking about the oscars today. we tried but just couldn’t stay up past 10. but i’m happy with the results. i still need to see all the movies that were nominated though. my opinion could change after that. i’m hearing conflicting opinions on a beautiful mind. i just don’t like russell crowe. ick.
