I've been getting the opportunity to go home early from work a lot, lately. This is a blessing and curse. I mean, on the one hand, it's relaxing. The other: no money and it gets annoying to have to listen to people complain due to that fact. Oh, well. I enjoy getting away from my job, sometimes.

Not too much going on. Just thought I'd give a quick update to say hello. I haven't written in a bit, so I wanted to make sure everyone knew I was still around. :)

Take care and be blessed.

Procrastionation

Yep, I'm most certainly procrastinating today. I have a huge cleaning project to be done, but I did a lot Friday night, and now I don't feel like doing it. I can't process the idea. It's so uninteresting, and I'm not in the right mood to accomplish much. I admit that I'm totally guilty of procrastinating, and I need to change it. Maybe tomorrow. LOL. Anyway, I hope you all are well, and I will get back to my project. Later. Much later.

Peace and Love,

Easter Season

Okay, first off, Happy Easter! It is much more than those chocolate bunnies and colored eggs. My dad told me of a survey that basically said most people don't truly realize what the real meaning of Easter is. It is the celebration of the resurrection of Christ (Jesus), a beautiful event. It's shameful that even a lot of us who claim to be Christians get so involved in the commercial aspect, or are just so uninformed, that we don't take the time to reflect on the true meaning of Easter. It's the same way at Christmas, and I guess I get discouraged by that. I'm not perfect, and I love the whole fun aspect of baskets, eggs, candies, all that, but even I remember what the true meaning of the day is. It's a day for celebration and reflection, in my opinion. Let's try to keep that in mind.

With that said, I'm off the soapbox. Now, I'm going to move to the other part of Easter. The whimsical and fun part. We bought some precolored eggs this year, and store bought goodies. The original plan was that we were going to bake homemade things, color eggs and just do it ourselves, like always. Unfortunately, various illnesses and misfortunes made this whole week off kilter, and we just couldn't accomplish our goals. My mom did put up some decorations, and the dining room looks very cozy and happy. I think our artificial bunny statues may have been doing some procreating while they were packed away, as there seemed to be an unusual overabundance of them, some whom I don't recall from last year. Bunnies do like the "bunny hop" after all ;) so I guess I'm not surprised. I'm glad we don't have real bunnies as pets. Don't want to consider that. We had some really cute ones, including a precious baby one, who lived outside last year, but the stray cats spooked them away. Their rabbit holes are still in the yard, and I almost tripped over one that was covered in snow. The irony: I was chasing a stray cat away at the time. Stupid thing wouldn't even leave. I guess I wasn't scary enough. 

I think I'll close by wishing you all a Happy and Blessed Easter day. Please remember the true meaning of the day amidst all the fun you might be having. My little nephew will love his basket of goodies, I'll love having the family together, and I am going  to take a moment to reflect on it all as well. A nice balance.
