Is, theoretically, my last day of class for the semester. Yeh!

Here comes Peter Cottontail...

I had a lovely Easter Sunday. A few close friends came over for brunch - we had a lot of food (French toast, mimosas, enough fruit salad for an army, this green marshmellow thing Debbie made, Godiva cheesecake, chocolate covered strawberries, deviled eggs, hash browns...). Then I vegged out the rest of the afternoon. I think I watched about 7 hours of t.v. (Sweet Home Alabama, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmeron, Simpsons, and Helen of Troy). I don't usually watch that much t.v. in a week!

Cari and I also went to Church (an extremely rare occurance for me). The priest cracked me up when he said "I hope you have all had a happy Easter. I'm tempted to also say... I'm just tempted to say to some of you: I hope you had a Merry Christmas too." Obviously, church attendence isn't usually standing room only. Giggle.

Rant

My neighbors must hate me. One of them clipped a note to my bushes (using paperclips, and they enclosed the note in a ziplock bag) that says "Please trim me." No name, no nothing. I mean, they do need to be trimmed pretty desparately, but that's not how most people would handle things.

For instance, I don't go clipping signs to my neighbors houses such as "your kid knocked 4 baseballs into my yard last week and its going to kill my dog if she keeps eating the string out of them" or "why the heck do you leave your freaky yappy dog in your backyard at midnight?" or "that red mulch is an eyesore" or "stop dropping your junk mail into my bushes so everytime I mow the lawn I have to spend 10 minutes picking up debris from around the mailbox (my bushes are next to the block mailbox)" or "don't let your dog poop in my yard (again, due to the proximity of my house to the mailbox)". Yet, I don't. Because I'm neighborly and would like to be friendly to the people who live around me, and I can tolerate little inconveniences for the sake of community.

You think they'd bother to knock on the door and introduce themselves. Then they'd find out that I'm planning on having it done this week (I'm hiring a lawn service to come in and trim all my trees and bushes and finish mulching).
