I have never disagreed with you more, Josh. Candy corn fucking RULES. My god, man, comparing Peeps to candy corn? BLASPHEMY.

Well, I had to work Friday, which seemed pretty evil and soulless of my faceless corporate masters. Even the morning radio guy was like, “Well there’s absolutely nothing to report. All the roads are moving freely and there are no accidents. In fact, almost no traffic at all. I guess everyone is home enjoying their vacations. Teh colliseum might get congested with tailgaters this afternoon, but otherwise everyone have a great holiday.” Fucker.

So Jesus-got-fucked-over-by-his-dad day was shitty, except I had a nice little e-date with my woman. JCOOAHD is looking a lot like drink-a-shit-ton-of-beer day. I have absolutely no plans whatsoever. I will tell you, on friday they had this thing called the full contact easter egg hunt, which basically meant 105 men and 105 women got thrown in a field and had to duke it our for 105 seconds (guess what frequency the radio station that organized it was on?) and they got a bunch of free beer and spa days and hi definition TV’s. I figure it’s hard to make easter any cooler than a liberal smackdown in the name of greed. I don’t really eat chocolate, but I figure I’ll bust out a Cadbury creme egg or something in celebration of magical bunnies that poop chocolate eggs in celebration of Jesus’ death and rebirth as a holy zombie. (what the fuck were holiday makers in history smoking, for real, cause that’s just a crazy fucking thing to celebrate) I assure you, peeps are out. No more peeps go down my pie hole for EVER! Nasty sons of bitches. They can go hang out with candy corn in the loser section of candy world.

My husband and I moved into our new condo yesterday, so our easter weekend will consist of digging ourselves out from under all these boxes. How did we get so much stuff?

We joked about hiding Cadbury eggs in the boxes, but we probably won’t be finished unpacking for a while. Other than that, Easter has been so far off my radar this year that I forgot about it.

I get paid to sing in church. So far this week I’ve been to church three times, with one more service tonight, and THREE tomorrow (Easter).

God help me.

Well, I *was* going to go to church and then make a lovely Easter dinner for several of my friends, who are all “holiday orphans” like me, in that they don’t have family nearby.

Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away yesterday, so this afternoon I’m flying out to Iowa to be with my family, who are also coming in from all over the place. We’ll go to church tomorrow and then have some kind of Easter egg hunt for the kiddies (during which time I will try not to be bitter that we don’t have our kiddie yet), and then I imagine we’ll have a large meal and drink a lot of wine and be loud and boisterous as we celebrate my grandmother’s life. The funeral will be on Tuesday.

i know this sounds hokey but you should play charades with your family. i have done it with my family a few times and we always end up laughing hysterically. also, i LOVE the game Scattegories. if you don’t own it you should buy it. makes for lots of laughs too.
for my own easter sunday, i am thinking about finishing painting my sunroom. i have 3 walls with a wet sand color and the big wall is going to be chocolate. either that or work in the yard.

As my husband’s family’s lone Jew, I somehow talked him into going to church with his parents tomorrow. I have no idea why, except maybe I’m an ass-kisser? I then had to stress out over buying a suitable dress (thank God for Target) and now I don’t want to go.
The food will be good though.

But I was going to tell you about my shaman who can wave his…okay, not really.
I know what you are saying about Easter. We don’t really celebrate, but I still feel like honoring spring (and chocolate!). Our daughter is allergic to dairy and so she’ll get books and a Pez dispenser (she loves that chalky stuff).
WTF with the cat? Luckily, our cat wakes up my husband, but she used to “knock” on our daughter’s door to wake her up if he didn’t get up to feed her.

Friends coming over tonight, and lots of hunting for stupid plastic eggs filled with crappy candy the rest of the weekend. Sounds like fun huh? I think I’d like to crawl back under the rock I came from. :)

*Dying eggs Saturday morning
*Egg hunt at the school Saturday afternoon
*Brunch at Salty’s in Portland Sunday at 8:45
*11:30 Sunday service at church
*Followed by a 2 hour nap in front of the TV

My son is nine and I never do the whole jellybeans and grass thing since my parents insist on getting him a basket. I just buy him a couple of small toys, put them in a basket and they usually entertain him throughout brunch. The last thing I need around the house is more candy…hell, we still have Lifesaver storybooks left over from the boy’s Christmas stocking!
