Happy Easter!

It was a great day. Easter is such a fun holiday, I love the weather (when it cooperates), the food, the colors, the company. I'm thinking someday in the far future I will buy myself a bunny for Easter. What do you think of this guy? He is a lionhead bunny, I think they are so cute.

I hope you all had a very happy Easter!

Easter tends to be so commercial, so I'm so glad we were able to go to church today and focus on our Savior. I know He lives and loves each of us. He cares about all of our needs and concerns whether they be great or small. He is one who can truly empathize with us in all our experiences and hardships in this life. He endured so much in our behalf. His love and mercy is constant and I know he will never let us down or leave us comfortless. I am so grateful for this knowledge and for the sacrifice he made for me.

Here is an Easter message. This says it all.

A clothing quandary

I am going to choose one of these three shirts to purchase for myself.

I am torn between all three, can you help me? :)

My Things That Must Go (uninspired)


Mac Users with Attitudes


I don't have a problem with Macs themselves, I think they're great computers with less glitches in them than PC's.(Or so I hear) It's just that I can almost predict which customers of mine are Mac users and which ones aren't, just by the way they convey themselves over the phone. A wide portion of Mac users tend to be a little...snobbish sometimes. I almost feel too intimidated to offer them any kind of technical assistance once I realize they are a Mac user. I realize that Macs are the more hip and "green" of computers (really, how green can computers be?) but is the attitude really necessary? In all honesty though, I don't know if it's because of their attitude that I'm irritated or because I don't know how to use a Mac. :) But still! The Mac users with attitudes must go!


Trends of the Unsavory Nature

I hope this is a passing trend. I've been looking for some cute new sandals for summer, and I keep running into this look. I think the picture says enough. These are appropriately named Gladiator Sandals.

And boys wearing girls pants, another thing that must go!

Visitors of the Duck Variety

I always wonder what Winston's up to outside. He always disappears for the longest time when he's out there and I've discovered he has been hanging out by the back of the pool running circles around it. I figured we must have mice or some sort of rodents back there, until yesterday when I heard "quack, quack, quack" coming from the pool and saw a poor duckie come flying out from the pool. Awww. I love ducks! I don't mind Winston pesterting rodents, but I feel bad having Winston disrupt their tranquil pond they've made into a home. It does keep him pretty entertained though, and it makes me feel better knowing he has company in the day while I'm gone :) I thought we just had one, but last night I saw four of them fly off together, and today I got pictures of the male and female resting together on top of our floating lounge chair.

I've been following a blog the past couple days called Nie Nie Dialogues. It is the blog of Stephanie Nielson. She and her husband were in a plane crash together and miraculously survived, although have both been dealt a really difficult hand, both suffering major burns and other complications. Her blog is so inspiring, I just wanted to pass it along to anyone who wants some motivation and inspiration. She has every reason to feel down and frustrated, but she's chosen to be optimistic and faithful. I don't even know this couple but I know they are very blessed and were preserved for a special purpose. You can read her blog and make any donations to their recovery fund here: http://www.nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/
