Recent Easter Observations

1. I have NEVER seen someone use THAT MUCH powdered sugar on anything - - HUGE, LOADED, HEAPING SPOONFULS?!?
2. I really adore my honey-man's angel boy-O's 'deliriously happy' laugh
3. Cadbury Creme Eggs are the best - only once a year
4. PEEPS!!! Opened and left to become chewy hard!
5. Penzey's Spices = Dah Best!
6. It is almost freakish how many "my favorite" things Wendy and I share in common with one another.
7. I will ALWAYS love coloring Easter eggs - - even if it makes no sense - - I know, I know... it's actually based on pagan fertility iconography... Every Christian holiday relies upon pagan-based symbols!
8. I call 1st dibs to host next year's Easter Egg Coloring 'Dog Party'!
9. I still cannot voluntarily produce a burp, even if my life depended upon it
10. Farting stories are juhhst funny - PERIOD
11. In my book, gathering with Friends & Family is requisite for any good Easter celebration!
12. Using crutches either up or down stairs BITES either way!
13. I love the Easter Sunday Brunch Buffet at The Smoke House
14. Those green beans were fabulous, were they not!?!
15. EVERYTHING was fabulous!
16. Especially fresh strawberry crepes with Grand Marnier - Mmmmm....
17. Four cups of coffee in less than 2 hours is NEVER A GOOD THING!
18. Board games bring out the kid in everyone - especially those featuring 80s Trivia
19. I love to laugh so hard that my smiley muscles ache
20. I can't wait for next Easter!

And THANK YOU to those who should know who they are, for making this past Easter such a delight - those of you who make coming together as a 'non-traditional' family nothing but an uber fun, most pleasant, most genuine, most enjoyable breeze!

So you eat your peeps that way too! See now your "honey man" never understood why that was tasty. Whatever.

I'll be there for the egg coloring next year!

I agree, Cadbury Eggs ARE the best! Concentrated sugar that makes your teeth hurt just thinking about. Definately a once a year thing, but so fun to look foward to and enjoy during their time. The ones I got this year are so fresh. I hate it when they're old and the stuff in the middle is all sugary and crunchy. It's gotta be creamy... Mmmmm!

Did you know there are "decorate your own peeps" kits out there?

It's true. I saw them. The Easter Bunny had them.

4 cups of coffee in 2 hours..that sounds like my hubby! I could sure use a cup this morning! Sounds like you had a great time!
Hugs--happy easter!

Yes, it was a great weekend! Egg coloring, Smoke House crepes and game playing...we have a very good thing going on! Let the Dog Parties continue on in perpetuity!

I too reflect on our sharing of "favorite things." It's weird and wonderful at the same time. It just shows that Honey Man has spectacular taste. Yes?

I think I feel a graduation-birthday-mother's day gathering coming on...

Much love,
