Happy Easter! (Monday)
March 24, 2008I hope everyone had a nice holiday with their families. We kept it pretty mellow and stayed in town for Easter. I spent Friday night catching up on snuggle time with Giggs since we had company visit during the week (he was feeling neglected). My friend Aimee from Whistler came to visit and she brought her Shiba Inu Peekay. He’s MUCH bigger than last time he visited (August), but is still hell bent on dominating Giggs. Giggs could care less, he just wants to play, but Peekay has to be the only dog and is much friendlier that way. It was interesting… Peekay has just learned to mark, and on Tuesday, he peed on the Party Lite lady’s bag (I had a candle party). I remember those days…
Saturday was spent lounging in the family coffee shop and then we went to a surprise birthday party for Tony’s dad’s girlfriend -it was her 50th. After that, we headed over to Tony’s brother’s place to play some Rockband! I totally rocked ‘Ballroom Blitz’ on the mike. I am not so good on the drums though, they require more coordination than my body is capable of.
Yesterday (Easter Sunday) Tony made me breakfast in bed! Then we again went for coffee to do our Sunday crossword, picked up my sisters and headed up to my parents for Easter dinner. We had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, ham, scalloped potatoes, brussels sprouts, yams, salad, and for dessert blueberry and apple pies with ice cream. I whined and so my mom made the ham and scalloped potatoes just for me :) (My sisters don’t like ham.) I have lots of leftovers in my fridge too :) I’m gonna sneak over there again this week sometime because there will be split pea and ham soup…
So today I’m catching up on things. I’ve been such a slug lately sleeping in late everyday, and I think it’s partially due to the time change, so I have to reset my internal clock and start going to bed earlier. Maybe 11pm instead of 1am!
OMG I can totally relate to that sluggish feeling. I am having the worst time waking up these days - no matter what time I go to bed!
Anyway, sounds like you had a great Easter weekend!
I bet we could tear down the house in a Rock Band duo. Maybe even break some lamps (as I’ve been known to do while playing board games, even!)
Steve’s roommate was being a grumpalupagus and said that I had to sing quieter (something along the lines of no more screaming…) so the neighbours wouldn’t complain. HELLO! It’s BALLROOM BLITZ! The song REQUIRES a certain amount of volume!
BALLROOM BLITZ! BALLROOM BLITZ! Yea_______h! Yea______h! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
BTW, I am a kick-ass frontman(woman). My ‘band’ had like zero energy so I had to make up for it. I’m only thinking of the fans.
Hey! send some of that delicious leftover food our way . . .
I emphathize with Giggs about the Shiba Inu — my uncle is a Shiba Inu and he tries to dominate me too! Ignoring him won’t do as he will try to bite my leg until I fight back . . .
When Peekay gets too nasty, Aimee puts this muzzle-thingy on him so he can’t bite and he SULKS! He just stands with his head down and doesn’t move the whole time its on.
It’s kinda funny, but you can’t help but feel sorry for him. Better learn to play nice, I guess.
Sounds like you had a great weekend! So sorry to hear about the candle lady’s bag. I guess Peekay doesn’t like candles!
