Ya, I skipped last year, but we had the big earthquake. I wonder if I try and re-create events like last year will it happen again? LOL

Anyways, off to brunch with friends. Have a great holiday!

Easter Brunch is at my place this year. It has been hinted that the house should be “decorated for Easter”. Decorated for Easter? What? Huh?

Is there such a thing?

So today we ventured into the local Michael’s to look around. It turns out I was right. Not a lot of Easter decor. A lot of little things like for a table… So I am actually at a loss. What the hell do I do? I bought some fake red daisies for the table since I loved the real ones, but I can’t just keep buying fresh flowers. The cats might eat ‘em, plus maintaining them can get expensive. Those are kinda just for everyday tho. I also got some fake tulips. The tulips really say “spring” and they had red, so they totally match my decor. I put those into a glass pitcher on top of the bar. Now for the actual brunch I bought three traditional Easter baskets. I figure it’d be cute to do breakfast pastries and muffins in those.. The last thing I figured I’d get, and I don’t even know if it exists, is a large paper mache or plaster type rabbit. Something at least knee high for next to the fireplace. I think that will be impossible. But plan B would be fresh Easter lilies by the fireplace. We were going to get some anyways, it’d just be one or two more. We’d just have to put them outside right afterwards… I also think we should have hard boiled eggs on-hand and we could dye them, but that might be too over the top. No one in attendance is going to be age six. In fact, yeah, bad idea.

Anyhoo. I’ll have to remember to photograph the whole affair. If I pull off “decorated for Easter” I will want to record it for the internets..

UPDATE: Easter / SPRING decor attempts on Flickr.

Ahh, Easter dinner at the parents. It’s funny how no-one in the family is the least bit religious, and yet all these holidays bring us together. So we talked about some real estate matters, over active colons, tattoos, the dogs breath, and piercing. The whole time my brother called me names like when we were little. Another nice, grown up holiday visit.

After this time Richard has requested that he not have to sit by my brother during dinner. It seems that it grosses him out. My brother, who as I have said before, is a very large man. Very, very large. He eats a lot of food very fast. Richard claims that this is rather noisy. So from now on I have to sit by him. Oh well, he's my little brother. I'll just elbow him and tell him to chew with his damn mouth shut.

Another holiday post. Easter Sunday. Hmm. I remember those Easters as a child. The ones where someone decided to hide real eggs in the hot sun.  They were always bad by the time you found them, and had to be thrown away. Why did we even bother to look for them anyway?

One year I really wanted little chicks. We had hatched eggs in school and I really liked the little birds. Mom and dad found little foam and feather jobs somewhere. They were all up and through my basket! I had a fake chick in my pocket for months! So, Easter… what will Google tell me about you?

Well, you can get all the religious stuff at The Easter Page. Happy-Easter.com has some stuff for kids, including jokes. And we’ve all heard of the Easter Eggs in software and movies… here’s the Archive. Finally how about some Peeps? I mean a lot of Peeps (via Geisha asobi)!
