Morning all!
Happy - I'm also enjoying hearing the birds when I go outside in the mornings now.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and dh for a successful procedure, as well as best wishes for his speedy recovery. I'm glad you enjoyed the brunch. I guess it's good that it was a buffet and you didn't have to rely on the poor wait service for your food as well as beverages...I did enjoy a bowl of the egg-lemon-rice soup, enough for you and me both, lol. Bf and his mum ordered off the special menu and got the usual cup of soup with it, but my entree was ordered off the regular menu, which I guess didn't include soup with the entree, and so I ordered it separate and it was a bowl. It would have been enough to just have the bread, butter, soup and saganaki, aka flaming cheese
But no, I ordered braised lamb with a side of those tasty green beans with tomatoes. Most of the lamb went home in a box, of course.
Annie - Sounds like you had a lovely Easter Sunday - so cute with Ainsley catching a glimpse of the Easter Bunny!!
And nice you ended up sharing your turkey dinner with your dad and bro.
I'm not a fan of peeps at all, which is why that little basket from last Easter still had the Peeps in them and nothing else but a bit of fake grass, heehee. Naturally the chocolate eggs were long gone... Soooo, not long at all before your special day and then the best part - the honeymoon!!! I like your title.
Mel - Thanks for setting up our new thread. Love the graphics, and a nice spring-y title too.
Sounds like you had a nice Easter. I also agree that the ham steaks were a good idea, otherwise it's a LOT of leftovers for a LONG time, hahaha. Too bad about the alarms.
Shad - Sorry your weekend was such a rainout/floodout. Glad you mananged to make it back safely. Flooded roads scare me! Funny story about the man and his fancy shoes and worrying about getting jumped - haven't heard "getting jumped" in quite a while.
Hellos to Michelle and Ceejay!

I did have time to dye the eggs. My hibiscus tea dye was a dud - I probably would have had to leave the egg in the tea for a few days to get an color transfer. I ended up adding red dye to it, and of course was disappointed with the nasty color - can't even get a nice pastel-y pink out of it. But I got some nice shades from experimentation with multiple color dunking.
Took doggy on another nice long walk, and so we had three long walks over the weekend since I got home early-ish on Friday and walked him then too. I think he was tired and a bit sore in the hips last night though, so it might have been too much after all. BF will go easy on him today.
Our dinner at the Greek restaurant was nice. Bf and I don't get there often and we'd like to go back for just lunch sometime when we'd just order soup and split a sandwich.
I finished watching season 1 of Mad Men. Good thing - with all that smoking on that show, I was worrying about the effects of secondhand smoke, LOL. I will alternate between seasons of Mad Men and MOTG.
Today is April 1, so it's time for another weight loss contest weigh-in. Thank goodness, it's at 11:00 am, so I should be able to survive no breakfast til then.
I've scheduled a vacation day for Friday - yay. No plans yet except to use up a bonus restaurant gift card (that we got when we bought gift cards during the holidays). This card expires soon, so we need to use it or lose it!
Okay, I need to stop the rambling and get cranking!! TTFN!
