Easter Happenings

HAPPY EASTER

Easter was a lot of fun this year. Silvi didn't need any help on the egg hunt or eating the candy. Yikes!!!!

Cousins came over on Saturday and helped us celebrate.

Sunday we enjoyed going to church (well, I enjoyed church) then we journeyed up north to have a fabulous Easter dinner at Aunt Janna's house.

Silvia really enjoyed all the toys and cousins.

The count down

Today I have found myself counting down the hours until 10pm when Sex and the City comes on TBS. Where did this new found interest come from I ask myself? In the past I've surfed right past the show without much interest, but now I make sure to be in front of the TV just in time for the show intro (The theme music seriously lifts my spirits.) I've come to appreciate the editted version of the show as well (more giggles, less blushing). Maybe it's because I started watching again when the whole Aidan and Carrie love story was going on. Man that is good stuff and that Aidan is sooooo cute. I also have a bit of a crush on Mr. Big (whom now stars on a Law and Order series... double bonus!) Now the final season is showing and I'm already dreading that it is coming to an end. I guess this is all good preparation for the release of the Sex and the City movie this summer. I think this could be the movie I wait in line opening night for. do do do...dah do do da do dah....

I think I'm a single mom...

I don't even know how long it has been since I've had my hubby around. He has been in Montana for what seems like an eternity for work. Yes, he's come home for the weekends but it is hard to see any bright spots when I know I'm not going to see him for another 2 weeks.

Not really sure how things will work when he does get home. Once I figure out that life has to go on whether I have help or not I just get to work and seem to manage pretty well. Wait, don't let me fool you, if I had to go out into the workforce and manage the kiddo and house, etc... I'm sure I wouldn't be tooting my horn right now. In fact I was thinking today what a true blessing it is to be home with my little girl. I had been talking with a friend of a friend trying to determine if I could babysit for her. In the end it didn't work out and my heart was breaking when she talked about how hard it was to drop her daughter off every day. I just about started crying. So, where do I get off complaining about being bored, right! No more murmurring from me, mark my words.

Well, maybe just a little more murmurring.

I miss having my husband around....mostly. It is nice to only have to pick up after me and my little tornado. I don't really have to cook either because I'm fine with eating leftovers for days or microwaving a burrito. My laundry loads aren't quite as weighty. The brightest side of being on my own....not having to share the TV. I can watch the Oxygen channel to my hearts content and there is no one there to moan about how lame it is. Actually, come to think of it, it has been a bit of a curse. Usually I don't watch much tv at night and I get to bed at a reasonable hour. Since my unrestrained TV access I get way overstimulated and stay up till...12:14 am. Yikes. I really need Jon to get home. It is not good for (wo)man to be alone!

To wrap up my lonesome rant. Today Silvi said "Daddy, Daddy." I looked around and she was pointing to this picture that I have on the computer desktop. She definitely hasn't forgotten about him.



We miss you Jonny!

Murder Mystery

So for my long time BFF's birthday party everyone went to a local murder mystery thingy. I knew it would be a lot of fun when we got the characters a week ahead of time. I was Wanda Wilmington, a sports fanatic from Fargo North Dakota. Needless to say I've been running through scenes from Fargo all week trying to get my accent down, don'tcha know. Well, I'm not sure if all my hard work paid off because in the process of gathering clues and interviewing the suspects I kept absorbing the other accents going around. One minute I'm Wanda the next minute I'm a scottsman or a thug. I just thought it was funny to watch everyone assume their roles and a lot of people really got into it (seriously, some people came prepared with note books to conduct their interviews).

To anyone looking for something new and fun to do I recommend trying out a murder mystery theater. Just don't forget your notebook!
