Day off and it was supposed to rain. I awoke at 6:45 to the rising sun outside our bedroom window and I watched it rise till 7:30. Then I fell back asleep till 9:30. Oh, sweet day off!
Of course, then we did our taxes. I won't even bother to say here how much we owe. Let's say it's a solid chunk of cash that we do not possibly have on hand thus we will need to file for a payment plan through the IRS. Who knew they did such things? A blessing after all.
At the park we laid out a blanket and rested. I opened my eyes to see a gigantic spider mere inches from my face. However, I must've scared him (or her) because then he bounded off away from me. I took this as a sign that my nap was over and I must get back on board for book three of the Hunger Games. I am the first of Target Food Side Team to move on to the third book (though this is my second time through). It's really quite funny to see everyone get so involved in this series and to watch them one by one work their way through the books. Hilarious, really. I wish I could bring in a video camera and get some of this stuff on film. I admit that this past weekend was an "off" weekend for most of us and included far more chatting and laughing and goofing off than hard core working. As long as all the work gets done, right?
Last night we watched Elizabethtown. This is probably my favorite movie ever. Not that it's the best movie ever but it's definitely my favorite. I'm sure I've blogged about it before. It always begins this time of year when I begin to listen to the soundtrack (have I mentioned before that my CD collection is loosely organized by month?) and then I think to myself, "Well, now I really really want to watch the movie" which leads me to watching the movie. Every April. This is where I must interject that I am not a watch-a-movie-lots-of-times type person. If I see a certain film once every five years or so, I call that good. Longer time can pass, even, and I'm good. To watch the same movie once a year (at least) every year (for the past 7) means that it's my favorite movie ever. Watch it. It's a good one.
We're in the midst of Holy Week. I am super excited for this weekend. I work on Saturday but I do have Good Friday off and we're hanging out with the Youth Group. It's gonna be a good time ;) Then Easter itself will be pretty fun. Church with Dad in the AM, then back to our place for lunch with friends in the afternoon. Perhaps some Easter hummus if Cari brings it. Definitely planning on making ham and red potatoes. And a Pane loaf Jered picked up. Yummm. If it's nice, we'll eat outside. Maybe turn on the fountain. Perhaps the twinkle lights when it gets dark. Enjoy some communion under the stars. We know people who don't have family in town and what better way to celebrate Easter than to come together as one big Family? That's what I think this holiday is about. Celebration of the resurrected Jesus and all coming together in joy!
