Hi Friends!
Happy Monday...This past weekend was Easter which means 1 thing - family and food. Okay, so that's 2 things, but hey who's counting. My weekend started a bit early because my boss at BB gave us Good Friday off. But that's not all - he gave us a half day on Thursday and we got to come to work at noon today, Monday. Jealous? You should be.
So, after work on Thursday, I headed over to my mom's (LWN) house for some good ole' fashion bonding time. Our conversation consisted of this:
Me: Mom, wanna go to lunch?
Mom: Sure. How about Nordstroms?
Me: Delicious, and I also need some new shoes, so can you buy those for me too?
Mom: *Fine.
*Fine = less than enthusiastic
As we lunched and shopped, we discussed my little sister's (MSN) plans to build a school in Haiti. She is a 17 year old HS Junior and has raised enough money to build said school. Pretty incredible. I decided that I'm going to do my part to support MSN and of course, Haiti.
Casual night at home since all my really cool friends had to work on Friday - sucked for them!
Friday was extra fun - my cousin GLB was in town from LA, so we had lunch at Whisk. A stranger said that she was a hot babe and that I was lucky to be hitting that...I explained that we were cousins...he didn't seem impressed with my response.
Had dinner with LPT in the Grove. Dinner with LPT typically includes a lot of fun stories. This dinner included tales of our parents busting us while being rebellious teenagers.
Saturday was also an extra special day because my cousin CBB and his wife CIB had a baby only 4 days earlier. Baby ALB is an angel. I spent the day visiting with them and got to see their adorable son JSB (almost 2) and he is the cutest thing to ever walk the earth. Lots of fun and games with him!
MEM and I went up to Ft. Lauderdale to see Wicked - and while I've seen it on B'Way, it was entertaining. Unfortunately there was a wailing child across from us. FYI - not a fan of children who are not in my family.
Sunday - Easter!!! Easter is my favorite holiday for a number of reasons, mainly for the Easter Baskets. LWN has always done exceptionally well when it comes to those. This year, was no exception - lots of candy! Went to a quick Mass then brunch at Daniel Boulud's restaurant=delicious. Had a yummy croque monsieur. Then zipped off to give my godson (GFV) and his brother (KFV) their easter gifts. Nothing special, but they loved the gifts none the less. Spent the rest of the day at a BBQ with some old friends and some new ones.
That was my weekend - and for the record, most posts will not be this long, just had an unusually busy weekend!
