Since I’m just lounging on the couch, I thought I’d look through some of the old photos my mom put online a few years ago and find something good from Easter. I think this fits the bill!

That’s me and my brother Jesse. I recognize the blue bunny in the bucket—I had that well into adolescence! Don’t ask why I’m squatting, I don’t want to know either. Yes, we used to be blonde, and yes, my brother looks like a child model in this picture.

Here’s another good one. Me, Leslie, Jesse, and my Grandma on my Mom’s side. I’m clearly over the picture taking, Leslie looks possessed, Jesse is trying to steal that fish thing (which I recall had money in it to give to the hungry) from Grandma, and it features our fantastic knee socks and hand woven baskets. My basket looks pretty bad too—I was never good at DIY.

Here’s another from seems to be that same day. Leslie seems to have been exorcised, and we also include my mom and my grandpa. I guess my dad was the photo taker!

I can’t say for sure but I wouldn’t be surprised if this were from Easter another year. Usually pictures were from some holiday! Ah, the days when it cost money to take pictures…

The past few days have been a blur of nothingness. I’ve done a few gigs/rehearsals, but mostly just been a blob on the couch. I hate it, but I just don’t have the energy for anything else! The best part is that I KNOW this is just a bad cold and it’ll pass and then I’ll get back to regular life. I’ve also read a few books which has been nice, but this wasn’t how I planned to spend my weekend. I planned to do a lot of practicing, some work, some fun stuff—relaxing AND socializing. I had to cancel an Easter Potluck I was invited to because I’m just too gross and miserable 🙁 I’m really just whining. I’ll be just fine.

I haven’t had any Easter Candy this year though. My favorite are the Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs. I did get some candy at Trader Joe’s the other day: Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Salted Caramel Truffles. I had one last night: the verdict is GOOD but a bit of too many flavors all together. That’s what I get for being greedy. Don’t worry, I will manage to finish the bag eventually…it’ll be a bit of a hardship but I can do it 😉

What’s your favorite Easter Candy? Do you have any pictures of your pets dressed up in funny seasonal costumes? (This isn’t something I have, but I certainly wish I did—photoshop perhaps?)
