Hoppy Easter!

What a fantastic weekend.

I made a spontaneous decision to go up to see Kels instead of heading to FC, and while I'm sure I would've loved that too...it was so great to see Kels and I had the greatest Easter. We had a 10 course gourmet dinner at her friend's house, I got to sleep in til 10:35 and not be woken up by slamming doors and obnoxious yelling, I got a little bit of Chem done of Saturday, got to hang out with Kels again Saturday night, went to Easter vigil (which was awesome!), then church again this morning! Sorry that was basically one huge run on sentence, but I thought just listing stuff off would be faster than writing it all out!

The church service this morning was really awesome. Kels found this ELCA church in Glenwood, and the people there truly amazed me with how welcoming and kind they all were to both of us. The music was good, the pastor had a funny, entertaining, AND thought-provoking Easter sermon involving Monty Python and Cookie-Monster and Jesus "gettin' up in your grill."

Kels and I both commented on how this was our first time not having Easter with the whole family. No big Easter brunch, with delicious food and lots of people. Just the two of us, at McDonalds, with small coffees, hashbrowns, and McMuffins. It's going to be one of my most favorite Easters ever, I think.

Monday Monday...

I don't really know how that song goes, but I know it exists. and I know it talks about how much Mondays SUCK, and I would agree that as a day of the week, it is one of the worst, in general. Today, however, while it was by no means comparable to an uplifting Sunday afternoon, was alright. Here's my list for this Monday Monday; Things that made me smile:

~my talk on the phone with mama this afternoon
~the arrival of my new white linen pants in the mail
~70 degrees and sunny
~delicious foccacia bread and dipping oil at my new favorite coffee/book store combo place
~the wonders of modern medicine, specifically ibuprofen
~the gay couple cheerfully having a glass of wine at the table next to me in this coffee shop, in the middle of conservative Colorado Springs (which I understand is by no means an anomaly, but it still made me smile!)
~the prospect of going to R&J's in Ft. Collins this weekend, courtesy of the lovely CS and her "gramma" car
~my conversation with MT online, he always makes me smile
~the fact that HSM:3 is ready and waiting for me when I get home
~the realization that I only have 8 days left until spring break!
~it's 6 o'clock and I'm already almost done with my homework for this evening

I really think I want to be a doctor. Or at least I'm thinking about it seriously.
