Easter Long Weekend

I have actually been looking forward to some time off. Yesterday (Good Friday) seem to come and go and all I did was re-do Karen's dog agility website, did 3 pages in my Cait's Grad scrapbook project (it is 2 years overdue as it is) and then watched a 50th Anniversary Osmond Family special on PBS...it was excellent. If Ihad extra money I would support public television and for $250 would have got the DVD Osmond special, the cds signed autographs and all. I have to admit they were really good even as seniors. Marie actually has a great stage presence and it was very poignant and nostalgic when they sang "Through the Years" and "He's not heavy he's my brother" with old photos and old clips playing in the background. On Youtube there's like amazing old footage of the Osmonds. Who remembers "Puppy love", "the twelfth of never" and "paperoses"? Or watching the Donny and Marie Show for us in Malaysia it was our Sunday evening family entertainments...awesome!
Then Chrissy and I started downloading Bay City Rollers songs and Osmond songs so then I uploaded them into my IPOD and organized all my music. I bought some proper pink earphones so I am looking forward to getting back out there and walking now that I can feel Spring coming.

Darcy came home from his trip to Trail, and he spent it on business and visiting his parents. He came home with the family crest ring as well as an heirloom mah-jong set from his great-grandmother because he is very keen on playing mah-jong. On Fridays, mah-jong reigns supreme as an activity at Glen Pine.
We took the dogs and went for a walk on the PoCo dykes in the afternoon. Luis and Chrissy came too and then we stopped at Superstore and loaded up on Easter junk food...drinking pepsi and eating all-dressed chips as I type so that is really bad! I guess we are cooking a turkey tomorrow since Chrissy hates ham but we don't really have real family celebration to be had anymore. Darcy left a message for Connie but has not heard back from her as yet. So...Chrissy and Luis are playing Smash Bros. on the Wii and well, here I am typing on the good old blog...I am getting a little bit better about writing things down. Darcy and Chrissy are already sniping at each other and being very irritable about everything.
