Wake up Jesus, it's Easter!

Excellent! I am doubly jealous of your trek! I was planning to take BART into the city and mill around, but it was too late of a start for me and I ended up playing Joust.

very strange Easter...

Played a gig last night (Matthew came along). By the time we got the gear loaded up, it was almost 2am so we all did what any self-respecting musicians do at that hour, we went to Denny's for a heartstopping breakfast. Ended up getting home at about 4am. Slept until 8:30 and got up to call my dad. After that, we ended up going in and working at my company until about 3pm. Came home and slept until about 6 and now I am cooking a bastardization of an Easter dinner. Some ham, some potatoes, some veggies. After that, a movie and sleep so we can start another fun-filled week of work.

strange Easter. Not bad, just strange.

I was laaaaaazy this year. I went Easter shopping on Saturday, and like baileykat, I usually spend like crazy for their baskets. This year? Notsomuch. Easter was just too early and we had no plans to stay with grandparents, so we kept it low-key.

Courtney got a Caboodles box as her basket and I filled it with nail polish, remover, loofahs, clippers, and other fun big girl stuff, plus candy (Target, I love thee). Cassidy got a butterfly net as her basket and I filled it with bug-catching stuff and candy. Chloe got an Olivia pail as her basket (she is Olivia) and Sleeping Beauty magnet/paper dolls, bubbles, play-dough and candy.

The Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy had their annual collision and left money and candy all over the house once again. The kids save their teeth for months and will only leave them out the night before Easter (unless they need cash for something specific) so that the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy come the same night. It happened once when I was little, so Courtney's been orchestrating this annual event since I told her about it when she was six.

We ate a late lunch downtown at the Governor Hotel with my sister and her fiance. Jake's Catering does this gorgeous cold seafood buffet in the Heritage Ballroom that is fantastic. We stayed for hours, chatted and drank mimosas, ate waaaay too much chocolate truffle cheescake, drank too much coffee, ate too many shrimp, too much prime rib......it was the best Easter in SUCH a long time!! I'm not sure you could drag me to family reunion-type Easters ever again!!!

Mmmm Jakes and the Governor Hotel - My company put me up there when we were dealing with PGE in it's pre-Enron days. Nice place, and one of the best seafood dinners I've ever had. I'd definately go back there next time I'm in Portland.

I'm jealous, too. They Might be Giants are great.
