Easter

   Easter, blech! I do not like Easter. Everyone has asked me all week, "what are you doing for Easter?" Nothing I say. "Nothing? Really?" I suppose maybe I should just make up something next year so I don't get all of the funny looks and reactions, and believe me, if I told you what I really thought about Easter, they would run in the opposite direction praying for my soul, lol.  I however will not give anyone that satisfaction. The biggest question is about Patrick, "No Easter for Patrick?" "Nope!" Lets see, first I would have to distinguish what Easter is actually for, to my child. Either it is a religious holiday, (which I do not agree with) or it is about chocolate and Easter eggs and bunny's. If it is a religious holiday, than it is not a fun one, and if it is about Bunny's and eggs, well, that's just lame, lol. My son can't have chocolate, or 99% of any of the candies on the shelf at Easter time, because of his milk allergies. So Easter baskets really aren't a reality for us. We do not go to church, so no service on murder and resurrection as well.

   Yesterday was a fun day. We, Jerry, Patrick, and I hang around the house, and I stayed in my Jammie's until 4 in the afternoon, lol. I did a little here and there, but not much. Jerry got the new computer up and running, and put it in the spot of the old one. This is very exciting for both of us. Why? Because, well, Jerry has a new computer to play with, and the old computer goes to ME! I now get my very own computer to use for my photography, and photo editing programs. What more could a girl ask for? Lol. Jerry has also set up a network, so the computers can share info, and I can print documents all the way from the back room if I want to....spoiled!

   I finished Easter photos I did for my good friend Beth, and I was happy to have her be pleased with them. She came by, and she selected her photos, and we placed the order. I got a big tip! I like the idea of making money doing something I think is a ton of fun. What more could you ask for. I feel blessed. And to end the day, the "Barela Boys" came over for a few hours and played. I really like seeing them, and Jerry has really liked having a houseful of kids, because you know, it is the perfect time and excuse to behave like one himself!

   My plans for the day? Well, we started off with pancakes, and eggs, and some not so great blueberry muffins that fell in the oven, (no clue why). So now, it is a lazy day. I love lazy days, where I don't have to worry about obligations, at all. I have allowed myself one day, just one, where I can just do what I want, when I want. I will probably start working on my new website I am building for my photography. I will probably do some sewing, and finish two ongoing projects. I imagine I will play in the floor with Patrick, do some reading, love on my husband, throw in a load of laundry and await dinner time where I will then be preparing Lemon and Dill Salmon. So as you can see, I have a very full day, lol, and I must get started. Love to all, and those who do celebrate Easter, and the slaughtering of the lamb, I hope you have a great day. I will!
