Easter-ish

Want to know what Easter looks like in suburbia?

Our Suburban Easter

We actually had quite the holiday weekend, with family in town and lots of activities. I unknowingly* just hosted my first major family holiday (with overnight guests and everything), and as they just left, I’m now off to drink a bottle of wine in my ugliest** (yet most comfortable) jammies.

See the entire photo set of Easter 2009 here.

*Unknowingly because I just realized five minutes ago that family members stayed at my house and I cooked a holiday meal, which I guess means we hosted the holiday. Weird.

**I know, you thought it couldn’t get worse than my high school track warm ups covered in paint, along with my concert t-shirt from a Red Hot Chilli Peppers show in 1998 (see above photo), but trust me, it can.

Oh Dear

On the phone with my mother…

Me: Where are you? I can barely hear you.

Mom: I’m at the park. My man friend was upset because I he thought I was ignoring him, so I’m walking to my car now.

Me: Man friend?

Mom: Yes, I think he’s a trucker or something. He always wants to talk to me when I’m at the park. At least he’s not homeless.

Me: At least.

Revenge is so sweet, ain’t it?

Actually, I’m posting this way outdated clip of my in-laws singing along to some mad kareoke at Christmas to check out the complete awesomeness of my new Vimeo Plus membership. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth the cost, since my smelly ole’ Mac doesn’t really export videos to a very high quality and aren’t easily viewed online. What do you guys think? Liking the clarity? Does this video suck? How much do you want to marry in to this family after seeing my siblings-in-law sing along to “Material Girl” and my lovely father-in-law rap to “Living in America?”

P.S. I apologize for the obnoxious laughing, but I was way too intoxicated to hold it in….ahhh, the holidays.

Happier Times

Hey, remember back in 2008? Back when things were simpler? My computer had not yet crashed, my photos were not yet lost and my mind was less crazy than it is in 2009? Good times.

I guess one good thing came out of my laptop eating its own memory, I was forced to return to my old Macaroni. My crappy, lovable Mad laptop that truly needs to be sent to a graveyard for computers. But it does have iMovie (granted, a very old version, hence the crap videos that I post in awful definition). So, let’s look back to Christmas morning, when Trent was still legally drunk and Lucy was more excited about the cheap paint set and old Carebears blanket (mine when I was a kid) I got her then the giant kitchen set from Santa.

Hopefully I’ll be back in the swing of things soon…but I wouldn’t count on it. Stupid computers.

Video notes: I left in the part where Allison mentions somebody farting because that is the definition of Christmas with my family. Also, Scott and Trent really were still drunk from Christmas Eve, which is why Scott enters the room with such insanity. My favorite part is when Lucy tells all of us the sink doesn’t work because it doesn’t have running water. Spoiled? Never.

Goodbye 2008

Thanks to all of you for reading my verbal outpouring this past year. May your 2009 include more fun, laughter and less crushing financial crises than 2008. The future is looking good, we all just have to keep on keepin’ on.

If you need me, I’ll be out at a swanky party drinking champagne.

Or, I may just be at home drinking wine out of a box, watching Arrested Development, football and then capping the night off with a rousing game of Rock Band with the husband. That is, after I watch Tinkerbell for the gazillionth time with Lu.

You know, just depends on what I feel like doing.
