What did you do on the Easter?

I want to know how you have the religion holidays.

I traveled out yesterday. I will post some pix here soon.

That post(pictures) will give you 1000.
Easter? Called my mother and said, uh huh, ok, I see, for an hour and a half.

We took the young 'uns on a few Easter Egg hunts (last Saturday and this afternoon), painted Easter eggs last night (that's a lot of fun - especially if you use the wax crayon to make patterns on the eggs), took my daughter to church - my son was too sick so mommy stayed home with him, called Mom. And Daddy had a nice stiff drink - been six weeks without.

My kids are too old for easter egg hunts, so they just got their traditional baskets full of chocolate bunnies and then we had a Honey-Baked Ham, scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole and rolls at my sisters house. We're not very religious. My older boy was baptized Lutheran and my younger son was baptised Catholic and I am neither religion!!

Had a decent breakfast, a good amount of jellybeans and chocolate, and no initiative for dinner. Had planned to do the Applebee's Carside to Go thing, ended up microwaving whatever.

I worked all day. Holidays are the worst to wait tables. All the scum comes out for special occasions. 15% tips were the norm today, no one cares that it's a holiday and instead of spending time with my family, I'm slaving for them. And I really was nice and fake. I got good comment cards, but I don't want verbal tips, call me shit and GIVE ME MONEY.
Then, after work I went to my grandmother's house and had to act fake with my mother and her fiance who I can't stand lateley and listened to my grandmother tell me stories of how her and her sister drive up to providence every weekend and how her sister drinks and then speeds all the back into town, so now I won't be able to sleep anymore on weekend nights, or I'll have to get obliterated...whatever, I could go on, but no one likes to listen to someone else's extended complaints, so I'll just shut up. Happy Friggin Easter.

Pete and I sang at the Easter Vigil Mass. We put the kids to bed and set up the clues for them to find their baskets. Easter Sunday we had a family dinner where everyone was on their best behavior. My niece brought a college boy-friend along... I guess that makes me what, old?

I watched way too much basketball this easter weekend and ate way too many M&Ms.

It's okay though... UNC is going to the final 4!

One of the drawbacks to being non-religious is that you don't get to do the holidays.

Fortunately, the rest of the family is religious so I went to Pensacola to spend the weekend with my mother and let her feed me.

This is why people have a problem with wait staff. You're bitching over an adequate tip.

No matter how "nice and fake" you were, the fake shows.

ditto. 15% is adequate for adequate service. 20-25% is good for excellent service.

Traditional family get-together. Went to inlaws (1 hr drive) Sat afternoon, hung out, then went out to a favorite italian restaurant for the recent birthday of myself and father-in-law. Enjoyed several peach nectar martinis After kiddo in bed, hid eggs filled with coins and candy around house, dipped chocolate covered strawberries, and went to bed. Had inside egg hunt in the morning, opened easter baskets. Watched basketball off and on. After kiddo down for nap, put another set of eggs outside in backyard for her to find. More extended family arrive, have meal of ham, sweet potatoes/yams, deviled eggs, relishes, twice baked potatoes, homemade bread, several salads, and double dipped chocolate strawberries (I ate a total of 12 yesterday). Kiddo wakes up, eats, and does her second egg hunt, skipping the whole time. Afterward, sit around with various family members chatting and nibbling on easter goodies till 6 pm, then visited my mom for an hour before finally leaving for home.

If I get fake vibes off my wait staff, I won't tip. Period. It's ok if you're having a bad day and are a little cranky, as long as you get me what I want when it's supposed to be there. But if you're shining me on, you'll get nothing. I hate fake people.
