Easter

2015

For now, Kent has deemed Easter a family-only holiday for us. This is a huge relief as I felt the desire need to have people over for lunch, but with Kent preaching Maundy Thursday+attending Good Friday service+a neighborhood outreach event on Saturday+both of us attending two services on Sunday (IAMNOTCOMPLAINING) The idea of hosting an Easter lunch while not burning the green beans, makes me want to curl up in a ball and close my eyes. BUT the thought of eating an Easter Feast in my jammies...now we're talking.

Regardless of the gestational state of my womb, every year I look forward to a delicious, big Easter lunch. What can I say, my Ma spoiled me. Would I love to drive 15 minutes to her house and eat what she's prepared? You 'betcha! But, as Anna pointed out while I was eating copious amounts of pistachios, food tastes better when you work for it. Here's my Easter menu:

 Ham
Green beans
Rolls (Homemade? I'd love to, but I'm starting to balk at the prep time)
BUTTER
Macaroni and cheese
Banana Pudding (I've had a long, unmet need to eat Paula Deen's Not Yo' Mama's Banana Pudding So good it will make you wanna slap yo' mama. *Don't skimp on the chessmen cookies even though, as cookies go, they're a bit expensive. I don't buy my kids new Easter outfits, I buy chessmen cookies.

Nothing earth shattering and it's not a huge menu, but I can picture my plate now...

3 Reasons

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
