how this ended up being the best day ever

i was supposed to go to a taping of Ellen's show today. i had work off and everything. So when things didn't go as planned and i realized there was too much work to be done on the Easter play set, i was disappointed that i had to cancel plans for the show.

We were up until two this morning painting a backdrop and helping when a family situation came up. Thankfully, we were able to sleep in today... and that in itself was beautiful. I like sleep, but don't get to do it often enough (yet i sit here blogging knowing i have to be up in- four and a half hours?! Crap!!). Sophia ended up taking her grandpa to the doctor, so we couldn't start working on the second backdrop until they were back. This gave me enough time to finish a book i've been reading... and sleep some more. :)

We spent the day on Cali grandma and grandpa's back porch, painting the second backdrop. I have a picture, but i'm too tired and lazy to mess with uploading, so you'll have to wait. We hung out with cousins and grandma and grandpa. We listened to the Wicked soundtrack. We were OUTSIDE where it was warm and sunny. I got to hold the baby for a bit. There was no reason to rush anything or deal with crazyness.... it was a really good day. Of course, my birthday/seeing Wicked/etc is still technically the first on the "best day ever" list, but you get what i'm saying. ;)

i need to upload the latest clover pic as well.... maybe tomorrow... or next week when things are quieter. ;) You're not missing much, though. It's almost as though they stopped growing. Meanwhile, Doris Taylor was still losing leaves. A plant-knowledgable co-worker said she needs a heck of a lot more sunlight than random field trips to the window provide. So i had to say goodbye to Doris Taylor... my boss took her home to plant her among other thriving cacti..... sigh.

Which brings me to the question of the week. What is the plural of Jesus? Jesuses? Jesi? Anyone know?

Maybe i should take the direction of the blog as a hint that i need to get up in FOUR HOURS AND 24 MINUTES and i am nuts for even being online.
