Easter

I know I'm a little late saying this, but Happy Easter!

I haven't had too many blog-worthy things happen lately. I totally got ripped off by some jerk on the internet. Don't buy anything from ioffer.com. I should have known that the entire series of Even Stevens for $8.75 and the entire series of What I Like About You for $18 was too good to be true. (Two of the greatest TV shows ever; it doesn't get much funnier than Beans and Amanda Bynes). Luckily, Google is honest and they're refunding my money.

Easter was good. There were some not so good things...a very sad, unexpected funeral, EJ and I had to speak in sacrament meeting, I was officially set apart as the ward organist and my mom told me she and my dad thoroughly enjoy laughing at me when I ask them what they refer to as "ridiculous" pregnancy questions...but some really good things too...delicious food that I didn't have to make, hanging out with the fam and some hilarious stories from Goob; my favorite was the one about a lost cell phone. It is not a G-rated story, so I can't tell it on my blog, but call Goob if you want to know because it's totally worth it.

St. Patrick's Day

So, St. Patrick's Day is coming up soon and one of the reasons I enjoy this holiday is because EJ despises it. It's really quite hilarious. I'm not the kind of person that goes around pinching people who don't wear green, but I always pinch EJ at least once because he refuses to wear green since he thinks it's a stupid holiday. Then he gets really mad at me for pinching him and I laugh. He's kind of in a bad mood until the day is over.

The second reason I enjoy St. Patrick's Day is because one of my favorite ex-roommates of all time used to go all out for it. Her mom would always send this really cool St. Patrick's Day package filled with yummy and cute things for everyone. And then my roommate would make this delicious dinner of corned beef and cabbage and peas and green mashed potatoes. It was always so fun and yummy and the only time in my life that I eat meat that hasn't been completely scorched so there is absolutely no pink anywhere on it. I would consider making this dinner myself, but since EJ refuses to eat it, I would be eating alone.

The third reason I enjoy St. Patrick's Day is because I have an amazing shamrock sweater my aunt gave us a few years ago. I completely love this sweater and St. Patrick's Day is the perfect day to wear it.

And the final reason I enjoy St. Patrick's Day is because it is the only day of the year that I'm not terrified of the little leprechaun-type person that I am completely convinced has been following me around for years, hiding in closets and causing trouble. I'm not crazy; if you've ever lived with me, you will completely understand.
