Good evening! I *just* turned the computer on a few minutes ago. Super busy day. Last night we took the girls to see the Easter Bunny.. Oh my gosh, it was so cute. I will post the pic soon. We stopped at Burger King for dinner and wandered around the mall for a while. Stopped at B.Daltons and bought the girls some books. Of course, they weren't very cooperative so Paul and I just got books for them, nothing for us ::sniffle:: The girls were so excited to see such a HUGE moon last night! Gosh, it was gorgeous! I kept waiting to see ET and Elliot fly in front of it ::heehee:: Today, around 11am, I took the girls out for a walk/bike ride. Paul had the day off and was working in our bathroom, patching the wall. Moira was riding her bike and Olivia was running after her. Up and back.. up and back. Nick, one of the kids on the block, came out to play with Moira. So, the 2 of them were riding their bikes up and back. It was so cute. I brought Olivia back home around 1245 and Paul took her out back to play on the swings. I walked back up and chatted with the other Mommies on the block. Came BACK home around 130 and made lunch for the 3 of us. Moira stayed at Nick's house. Olivia was SO pooped that she went right in for her nap after lunch. That's when Paul and I got a LOT of yard work done. It was such a nice day and we really put it to good use. Needless to say, we are pooped too! Paul got Moira around 445 and we ate dinner early. The kids got the meds, a quick bath and I put on "The Emperor's New Groove" and made popcorn. They were actually QUIET and mellow. Moira kep yawning! LOL! They were both in bed by 820pm! Woohoo! Tomorrow we will be eating an early Easter dinner at my inlaws place. We will be there most of the day. I still have to make chocolates to bring over. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend!

Ok - I have been corrected. The autograph below is NOT Erin aka Gigglechick. It was from ANOTHER Erin. Now - THIS autograph SHOULD be Ms Gigglechick:


And - by the way Erin, the note you snail mailed me was addressed to "Kate" not "Katie" ::teehee::
Any Steve Burns fans out there? I found THIS link and this on Melanie's blog. He was SO darn cute! Look at him - just so cuddly!


LOL! Now - well - let's just say he looks a little .... different now. For those of you who don't know who he is, click here.
Anyone out there have autograph books when they were kids? I found mine and Erin (of Gigglechick.com fame) had signed mine. Must have been back in 1982 and we we heading into the 7th grade. Check it out below:
I am taking the girls to get their picture taken with the Easter Bunny tomorrow after Moira gets off the bus. Then, off to McD's for dinner. Ahhhh - the life.

Ugh - this morning came too quickly. We had a power outage last night... twice. Of course I was online. Here I was, typing away.. type type type...blink.. TOTAL DARKNESS. Very creepy. My PC had to run through it's diagnostic test because it was shut off improperly. It's running...taking forever... blink.. DARKNESS again. Let me tell you it was quite frustrating. My computer finally made it through the test. I needed to reboot. It came up in safe mode. Once THAT loaded up completely, I had to reboot AGAIN! Arrgghh!

Is anyone watching "The Osbourns"? Oh my God - I have been laughing for 30 minutes straight. I love them.
I had a lovely chat with Dara earlier. Go on and check out her blog. She's a doll!
Anyone hear that Kylie Minogue song "Can't Get You Out of My Head" yet? I can't get it out of MY head. I can't decide whether I like it or not. I just saw the video - jeez - she looks a LOT different in THIS video then she did in her 1988 video "Locomotion". Last link was picked up from KylieFever.
Got the rest of my food shopping out of the way - ugh. Why do I have to food shop on the rainy days! Yuck.
OhMyGosh! I completely forgot to mention this earlier! When I left my previous employer, I filed for unemployment benefits. Long story short, I was approved and received unemployment for 6 months, which ended in October. In today's mail, I received a notice from unemployment that I qualify for temporary extended unemployment compensation!! Whoa! I filled out that form pretty damn fast and it WILL be mailed tomorrow. Let me tell ya, it WILL certainly help us out financially if I do qualify. Ok - I am jumping in the shower and going to bed.. really.. I mean it.. G'night!
I added some new reads to my blog list. It's so interesting to check out new blogs and "meet" other people. I feel a little nervous when I notice new people checking out MY blog. I always hope that they don't think I am a moron or anything.

Had a good night so far. I still have a mountain of laundry to fold :::groan::: but I decided to blog and watch old SNL on Comedy Central. I can't wait to catch the new South Park on Wednesday.. looks pretty damn funny!
Hmm - how is this for odd? Both girls are watching "Star Trek - The Motion Picture". And - they are enjoying it. I prefer "The Wrath of Khan" since it portrayed Shatner at the best of his overacting. My favorite line? "Khaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn!" Muhahahahahahaha. Plus - Ricardo Montalban certainly isn't hard on the eyes either. I could watch that over and over.. Hmm - maybe tonight.. I don't think there's anything good on anyway...
