Wabby, PLEASE....I like getting stirred up. What would I do without those crazy Bushes? I don't think you're ever supposed to stop making Easter Baskets...are you? What about us?????I have not bought candy yet. I will do so this weekend. I also have to get my eggs together. I have an easter egg hunt for the kids Easter Morning...it is fun to watch them run around like nuts just to get an extra hershey kiss.You need a better hobby....so do I...one that presupposes playing hookey. bye
DH finally caught his spring chinook salmon!!! Actually he caught 2 of them. We'll be eating bbq salmon on Easter. It's supposed to be 80 degrees on Sunday. We skipped spring and went straight to summer here. While he was off fishing yesterday I went to a spring bazaar, and bought an old push cart type thingie to use as a flower planter. It's so cute. When it's all planted up and full of flowers I'll post a picture. We haven't heard much of the Bush girl's antics lately. No drunken partying or anything. They must have hired a few extra guys to keep the cameras at bay. I will be happy to accept your hearty birthday best wishes - it's a small consolation for getting so old. When I first hung around you chicks I was but a young 'un. What happened????
Happy Birthday to Wabbit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope your day is lovely!!

Yeah, go right ahead! I totally agree. Every couple weeks or so, I get so incensed that I write up a long diatribe, intending to post it on my diaryland site, but I rarely do. Then I go watch The Daily Show for a little liberal comic relief. I must say David Letterman has been doing a fine job lately making fun of Bush too. Have you seen the video clip of him walking across the White House lawn spitting? What a fine person.
DD suggested that I do a "communal" Easter basket this year (i.e. a big basket of chocolate eggs and peeps on the table). Believe me, with only one kid, the whole egg hunt concept is totally lame. Not that I'd still be doing it when she's 16 anyway. The only thing I used to do every year is to hide her basket. That was fairly amusing because she could never find it....
Congrats on the SALMON, Wabbit! Can I come over for dinner? That sounds much better than my meal.

Reason: too much magenta...
Where's Frappe? (Or Who, if it's another dually-named person.
We're trying to avoid Easter Candy shopping. So far so good. I was going to have a big salad for dinner and then the police called me... I'm on call-out back up duty.... poor 21 year old's boyfriend tried to strangle her. Both of them are trying (only moderately successfully) to break a heroin (!) habit.... so sad to have lived to brutally at such a young age. But it certainly made me grateful for the particular bad choices I made (there could have been different ones), and that my children have avoided those, too.

You can still do that here, but all those buttons and stuff pretty much do it for you. For instance I can ask for a color that's not in the list by typing [color=Bagzz]and ending it with the close command which would be /color inside brackets ([ ])The reason you aren't getting the same thing I described when you hit the color button is that you are using Guided Mode. If you switched to Enhanced Mode (right above the text box) you could nest commands and so on.
So sorry to hear about your sis's trials and tribs. You wonder why so much is piled on one person. I'm sure you're a life-saver for her.
Speaking of tribulations, we watched House of Sand of Fog last night.
Oy.
DH informs me that I should go grocery shopping soon because "stuff will get picked over"... Always lookin' out for me, eh? I spent most of yesterday swamping out the corner of the kitchen where all my moldering junk is residing. Yuk. I have to make the table useable for 5 or 6 people and I still have some cleaning to do. Blah blah yukety blah. See you cows later
Many eggs have been found. Much chocolate has been eaten. My world famous Easter bread is now lying at the bottom of everyone's stomachs making them lethargic. Salmon for dinner just like at Wabby's only 9 hours earlier!
Yes, Lush, that is a thing of beauty. You could design greeting cards.
Glad to hear your day is going well, Sug. What did you do with the salmon? Grill it? I have put the pot roast (DH won) on, the scalloped potatoes were made yesterday. I know, it doesn't sound like Easter, does it? More like something you'd have in winter. Well, it still pretty darn cold here. All that's left are the veggies. And getting the table set. I swamped out my china cabinet shelf (counter?) last night and got a rude shock. There was a pile of dog food in the back corner. Yeah, that's right, dog's been gone a year and a half. The mice she supported live on. EWWWWW I'm not fit to have my in-laws over, d'you think?
I heard a rumor that Peaches went to visit Frappe and took her to the South Seas for a miracle cure for whatever ails her. That's why we haven't heard from them lately. Do you think it's true?
Happy Easter to all and I hope all the eggs in your basket are chocolate. Well, maybe I should say I hope all the eggs in my basket are chocolate...
I broiled the salmon, Kiwi. Did it on the grill last time and it wasn't as good as broiled. Go figure. We had scalloped potatoes too, left over from a meal at the in-laws yesterday. Leg o' lamb with green beans.
Hope everyone's having a fabulous time. And I hope Frappe's ok.

I don't like chocolate.I like white chocolate...which isn't really chocolate..it is just fat and wax. Ilikejellybeansand I love butter cream. If anyone gives me butter cream eggs, I freeze them and knock off the chocolate to have a pure fat treat. Ahhhhh
Mice are a curse.
I made ham and scalloped pots that weren't half as good as Kiwi's. I'll bet she made them from scratch. I may not have dog food in the corner, but I used boxed scalloped potatoes...so who's deserving of company???????
My Easter was nice. We ate lots of candy. I hid eggs with money in them all over the yard and the kids had a hunt.
Sugar, does the Easter Bunny come to visit your kids? Do you have hunts?
Bagzie, your sister sure has had her share. How are her kids holding up?
I'm off for a few days...so I'll be posting a lot. Where is that Peaches. Is she searching for mint m&m's?????
OOOOO...dessert's here..bye
I sent cash instead of candy to DS and DD. DD got flowers from her dad.... I think she was happy to consider shopping... AND glad NOT to get candy. DS would like a car as a graduation present... I don't think that's gonna happen.
Yeah, you're right, I made the scalloped potatoes from scratch. 'cept I used my little food processor to slice the potatoes (yes, I do usually slice them by hand, you knew that didn't you?) -- I'm not sure if it was that, or the fact that I baked it the night before and heated it back up, but the top and outside bits were beyond crunchy/crusty all the way to solid. However once you got through that, it was just as good tasting as usual and DD had 2 servings, which is really saying something.
Also the pot roast came out beautifully and everyone seemed to like the meal. I was not at all sorry that it was only 5 of us, but it wasn't bad. I got my china cabinet cleaned up and even used my good china for dinner.
Cool. Eggs with money inside. I hope you mean hardboiled eggs. What fun...
Go Painty, kids love cash. I even take cash when pressed. But I also like flowers and they are lowfat. Just in case anyone wanted to know. I don't eat them. Well, not very often.
Apparently I'm getting punchy from being up too long after too little sleep. Last night, DH kicked me really hard in the shin. He was totally asleep at the time, so I couldn't really get mad at him. However I did get back at him by dreaming that Rush Limbaugh was the one who kicked me.
I totally agree. Every couple weeks or so, I get so incensed that I write up a long diatribe, intending to post it on my diaryland site, but I rarely do. Then I go watch The Daily Show for a little liberal comic relief. I must say David Letterman has been doing a fine job lately making fun of Bush too. Have you seen the video clip of him walking across the White House lawn spitting? What a fine person. 
eat lotsa cake, play lotsa bunco!
