I had to keep quiet about because the kids read the blog, and couldn’t spoil the surprise!
Of course, my sister and my Mom were upset that I didn’t tell them, because had my mother known he was coming she would have prepared a feast.
In retrospect, maybe I should have told her. Nah!! My jeans fit now, and I don’t need the temptation of her food to challenge the bounds of denim 😉
I’ve been lacking in content around here due to a family get-together that has taken up my week. Sadly, today it comes to a close. My sister and her family travel back to their home today, and my brother is toying with the idea of leaving, as well.
I’m trying to convince them to stay, so I can at least stay up late drinking and carousing enjoying their company without a schoolnight intruding! I have enjoyed having them here so much, and they have helped me with my loneliness and the monotony of my life. Hopefully, we’ll get to visit them once they are settled at their new duty station.
But here is something to cheer y’all up.
G00000000gle map of Parkland High School in Allentown, Pennsylvania. I think it should be renamed Millenium High School, and their mascot should be either the Falcons, or the Wookies 😉
Y’all have a great Friday the 13th!!!
Last week, I discovered that Lolita, wine glass designer extraordinaire, has her own blog!!
And then I discovered she had designed a new glass!!

The Heart of Gold wine glass!! And y’all can bet a bottle of wine I will be christening it this weekend. And since I still have Peeps™ left over, it’s going to be a very, very nice weekend. At least for me 😉
As y’all may have noticed, I try to post something daily. Ok, maybe some of y’all didn’t notice, but it’s true. Yesterday I took a much needed break from the interwebtubenets. And by “taking a break”, I mean “ran errands for my mom”. Having family around is not conducive to productive posting. It is conducive to plenty of stories, especially when your siblings sit around telling stories from our childhood.
And having your parents laugh at the crazy stuff we did.
And my brother, too!
So today finds me visiting with my nieces and helping my mom cook, and maybe this weekend I’ll be back to my regular groove, posting all the latest gossip from Casa de Aggie.
Who am I kidding?? I’ll probably do that tonight 😉
I just didn’t have the time!!
Yesterday found us attending a lovely Easter Mass, and then rushing to pack up the Mom Mobile™ for our trip back home. Normally I would have gorged on the Peeps™ once I got home, but we had to unpack and settle my folks in their prospective areas (I got Dad, and sis got Mom), and then had to rush over a late dinner and then get home. It was late, and though I very much wanted to savor the sugary goodness, I was just too tired.
And today finds me in quandary. I have to go pick up my other sister and her family from the airport, and can’t indulge until after they are settled at my sister’s, because even though I am a rather cool aunt, I refuse to share my Peeps™. I know that sounds selfish, but c’mon!!! I have waited for weeks for this stuff!!!
But I think I have found the solution.
AND… I’m using cotton candy vodka.
I would like to see a kid try to take that Peep away from me!!
There will be sweet, sweet sugar tonight 😉
For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.– John 3:16
Happy Easter, and may you be showered with blessings 🙂
I saw this cartoon at Facebook, and I snorted coffee through my nose.
Hope y’all are enjoying your Saturday!! 😀
Today finds me getting the house ready before my parents arrive. I rearranged the upstairs completely, and only need to finish cleaning the bathrooms before we pack up and go. And since I’m cleaning house, I thought this Sithy was rather appropriate.
I ♥ Legos!!
Y’all have a wonderful Good Friday!!! 😀
In just a few days, it will be Easter, and I shall be enjoying these:
There is nothing sweeter than biting the head off one of these, and enjoying the satisfying crunch of the sugar crystals as the marshmallow melts on your tongue.
Cry Havoc!! And let slip the Peeps of War!!!
Yeah, I am feeling the strain of sugar deprivation. Why do you ask?? 😉
I have tried writing something, anything for today, but I am too fuzzy minded. Well, more so than usual. All I know is that waking up from a really vivid dream at 2 AM does not make for a happy Aggie.
It doesn’t make a very lucid Aggie, either.
Nor a coherent one.
I guess my plans to trim the loquat branches using my machete will have to wait. Bad enough to lose sleep. I don’t need to lose a limb, either.
At least the koalas look happy… 😉
