In a Bit of a Easter Pickle

It’s a beautiful day in Southern California and I just realized that the kid’s baskets, the ones that I have had for each of them since birth, are missing! Every year we put them out for the Easter Bunny to fill and I cannot find them anywhere! This is only our second year in this house but I remember putting them up in a closet for safekeeping and they are not there now.

I could hit one of the stores to get two different baskets but it’s not the same. I’ve torn the house apart. I have no idea what happened to them. To be honest with you, I don’t think the kids would care too much as long as they had other baskets but it’s sort of sad for them to be gone. I am going to have my husband check the attic just in case they got shoved up there when we put the Christmas stuff away.

Anyway, have a Happy Easter!

The Sunday Salon: April 5, 2009

It’s late in the day but a late Sunday Salon post is better than none, right? We spent the weekend in Palm Desert. It’s Spring Break for the kids and since my husband couldn’t take all of it off from work, me made it a short weekend thing and it was very nice. We visited relatives, visited the zoo and ate enough food to last us a few weeks. Seriously. The weather was a warm 75 the entire time we were there. Nice.

We got to feed the giraffes!

Here’s another pic from the golf course.

Overall it was a fun weekend but I didn’t get too much reading done. I DID buy Half of a Yellow Sun from one of the big superstores but I couldn’t find any used bookstores out there. If anyone knows of any please let me know!
