E is for Easter

 

Easter is April 20th this year… Only two more weeks…

My favorite part of Easter is the ham with pineapples, brown sugar and mustard…

Can you smell it… mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

One year ham’s were hard to find at the grocery store so we bought a turkey and I covered that with pineapples, brown sugar and mustard… It was very good too…

Last year all the kids got Peanut Butter Capn’ Crunch cereal instead of chocolate bunnies… I put ears on the cereal boxes and cotton ball tales on the back…

D is for Day Off…

 

fetchhagdc

Day four into the Blogging from A-Z April Challenge and I got a bit stuck on the letter D…

A, B and C were good and I even have thoughts for E, F, G and H…

But D… I had nothing…

I could have written about how son2 still does not have his driving license and he is on his second permit at the age of 20, not because he can’t drive, he can, he just doesn’t go out much…

I could have written about dieting, but then I’ve gained back 18 of the 33 pounds I lost two years ago, so let’s not…

I could have written about dividing time between work and home but that was a bit of a stretch when the word should have been balancing time between work and home…

Disneyland… I haven’t been there since 1984…

So I was very excited when it hit me, Yesterday was my DAY OFF and that starts with D…

Hooray!!

And to think I was upset the other day when I found out my day off, that I have been getting consistently for the last four months, changed from Tuesday to Thursday… If they hadn’t of changed it, I would have been at work yesterday and still wondering what starts with D…

So what did I do on my day off…

  • Son3 off to school
  • Talked with hubby before he was off to work
  • Breakfast
  • Email
  • Facebook
  • Read Blogs
  • Laundry
  • Washed kitchen/bath rugs
  • Lunch
  • Updated April Calendar
  • Birthday/Anniversary cards for April
  • Sorted through work papers from work
  • Watched TV
  • Trimmed the roses
  • Sprinkled out snacks for the snails
  • Loaded/ran the dishwasher
  • Cooked enchiladas for dinner
  • Vacuumed
  • Posted bills
  • Watched TV with hubby after dinner

This is Miss Holly ( she showed up one Halloween and had moved in by Christmas so we named her Holly cause she’s prickly and let her stay, not that we had a choice as she insisted on staying)…
