Mom loves me at Easter!
Well, she probably loves me the rest of the time, too. But it was made manifest yesterday when a box arrived in the mail containing the following items:
- several Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs
- a Cadbury Creme Egg
- various jelly beans
- Hershey’s Truffle Kisses
- a batch of Mom’s legendary The Brownies
Also included, since she knows I hate it, was some of that plastic Easter-basket grass. And the final item, since she knows I love greeting cards that are inappropriate for the occasion, was a Christmas card.
Mom reports that she had some Easter candy for me last year, but then she forgot to mail it, and also forgot to give it to me the subsequent three times that I visited. She stumbled across the cache just recently and ate it herself. I suspect that was her plan all along!!!
But this year was different, and it will be a joyous, fattening Easter, as outlined in the scriptures. I hope your Easter is just as pleasant.
In closing, here is the cutest bunny-themed picture ever, courtesy of the uber-cute I Can Has Cheezburger?:

I hate easter grass too! Yet my wife loves it…so I’ll spend the next nine months or so picking it out of every nook and cranny of the house.

I’m glad you got your package, Eric. I also sent a box of The Brownies to bcurt, to whom I had promised them back in January, but today the box came back with a Heightened Security Alert label on it. It said Unknown Sender (even though my return address label was still there) and also No Postage Attached, even though the Priority Postage label was right there.
So now I have to wait until Monday and take the box in and show my receipt and ask for my money back, because these Brownies wouldn’t win any awards after hanging around wherever Dangerous Mail hangs around for three days. Bcurt, if you’re reading this, I’ll try again.
PS That is, indeed, the cutest Bunny picture ever!

Fatness is temporary, resurrection is forever!

Stop crying, bunny! I didn’t mean what I said…

Dangerous Mail? Wow! Maybe temporary paralysis due to chocolatey goodness? I wonder what warrants such a determination? Thank you for your efforts – I’m sorry the USPS is not cooperating?
That’s a great Easter package! Has there been a Snide Remarks regarding your hatred for Easter grass, Eric?

That picture of the bunny made me laugh so hard I cried. Now whenever I’m disappointed I say to my husband, “You make bunny cry!”
