Today is kind of hectic because tomorrow everything is sealed up tight as a drum for Good Friday, so it's shopping, mother's beauty appointments, and picking up the wines for Sunday dinner. Tony and his tribe, my parents, Mike and Maya, Ted and me, the 10 of us all together here for Sunday dinner.
So yesterday I went shopping for high chairs because Q has outgrown the little wooden one we have here that we got at Ikea. A friend told me to look at the Prima Pappa Diner one. OMG!! It was $249 plus tax!! For a high chair that will live under the stairs most of the time? I don't think so! Geez.
What are you guys doing this 4 day weekend? Anything special going on?
Yeah, not a 4 day weekend for me. Still have work both tomorrow and Monday. I look forward to Easter Sunday though. Spiritually it is probably my favorite holiday of the year. This Sunday will also be the last for my friend Misty. Her and her family pick up and head South next Saturday. They are driving both cars to Texas. Long drive. Especially with 2 little ones.
Tomorrow I have another doctor's appointment. We are down to seeing him every week. Plus we have the stress test every week. Which is nice because I like the rest. And that hospital bed is actually quite comfortable.
Anyways, have a nice day out Kae...Hope the weather is good.
Yeah, the weather is lovely today, +4C! It's going to go up to 9 this afternoon, positively balmy, lol.
Shelly, do you do an Easter egg hunt for Jolene? I just organised for Mike and Maya to get a couple of those little net bags of chocolate Cadbury eggs to hide for V and Q. But we have to be careful to count them and collect them all. Doggies that join the hunt successfully and then eat the chocolate can cause all sorts of problems That, and Chloe isn't very skilled at removing the coloured foil, lol.
I have 20 minutes left before I have to leave, so I'll say bye for now, have a wonderful day!
We are going to be dyeing some tomorrow. I think I will leave a handful of them with Vinnie when we head off to church so that he can hide them for Jolene when she gets back. She should have fun. I wish that our church had a bigger courtyard so that we could hide eggs for all the kids. But either way she should have fun.

I think the USA is about the only country in the world still using that old system, lol. maybe YOU should convert. :)
Here is a site for temperature conversion of Celsius to/from Fahrenheit: http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm I agree with you, Kae. I wish the USA would use the Celsius system. (metric, too!)

THANK YOU, Sundancer!! I'm clueless when it comes to Celsius versus Fahrenheit. Don't know metrics either, I'm ashamed to say... And I'm too old to change my ways now!
We don't have any special plans for this weekend, but I'm hoping it will be nice. I miss the days of Easter eggs, but I think I may still have some kits around! LOL... KaeEll, it sounds like you have a lovely Easter planned, and a very busy day today.

One of the last things Pierre Trudeau did before retiring as our Prime Minister was convert us all here to metric, and lemme tell ya, it was no picnic there for a while, but after a couple of years, we all adjusted and now it just seems so funny to talk about miles and ounces and pounds. But since we're so cross-border in this family with kids running back and forth , not to mention Ted and all, we have to keep our poor little heads in both systems whether we like it or not. The most confusing and confounding thing for me, however, is cooking instructions that use Imperial measures when everything here is sold in metric. I do have a conversion chart someplace, but usually I give up and wing it. And yep, I've had some disasters, lol.
Maya was cooking some German thing this afternoon. I came home to the weirdest smells in my house. Mike's friend Paul just left too. He and Mike were practicing jazz riffs, Mike on trumpet and Paul on bass guitar. It's only 4 and a 1/2 more days until they move out, not that I'm counting or anything.
It was a balmy 68 degrees here in my corner of Massachusetts today. I opened up my moon roof on the ride home.
It has been a few crazy days at work for me. I only have the regular weekend myself, and I will be doing three, maybe four home visits for prospective doggy adopters on Saturday. I will be on the North Shore of Massachusetts. I am trying to coordinate my last one to be in Gloucester. It is an awesome fishing town.
