Happy Easter!

Chris and I are having the most low-key day ever due to the fact that we celebrated with our families yesterday so today has felt rather un-holiday like. I did get treated to a fantastic breakfast of french toast and bacon but otherwise it is business as usual at the casa - a little laundry, grad school work, and movie watching.

We did dye Easter eggs yesterday, which was definitely festive and fun - but with two adults dying eggs it only took about 10 minutes as opposed to a longer time period if little ones were involved.

Chris was so thrilled that I started taking pictures so to be fair I turned the camera on my bed head/no make up self...don't be too alarmed, haha!







We also went and saw American Reunion on Saturday with my sisters. It was hilarious! I don't care what anyone says I love sequels or threequels. American Reunion did a good job of recalling elements from the first movie which made it entertaining. All in all, a pretty solid weekend off together with some good food and good fun. Hope you had a great holiday too!

Glitter makes everything better. One of my final projects of Spring Break was to make some pretty glitter eggs I saw over at Sew and the City


I couldn't find smooth Styrofoam eggs like the ones in the tutorial but happy to report the textured ones work just as well. My dining room table looks pretty happy with the bright, new placemats I purchased from Target. I think  I have been to Target every day this break...sometimes I just can't help it! I never like spending a ton of money at one time on stuff for the house, two pillows one day, placemats the next....my bank statement looks like I'm one step away for needing an intervention from being a Target addict.

And check out my new turquoise glass. I visited a new consignment shop out by my parent's house. It was small but had some nice items. Snagged this beauty for $10.

Well it's back to the grind tomorrow and usually I feel renewed after a break but with the nice weather and breezy schedule I've been keeping I'd rather stay on break. Only 45 more (school) days until summer!

Wow! It only took me about 3 years but I have reached a blogging milestone. Yippee for me! Remember in kindergarten, how you celebrated the 100th day of school and you had to glue 100 things to a poster? Well just picture me gluing 100 pieces of Easter candy to my poster board right now.

Mmmmm...100 Peeps, yes please!

 By the way, I just discovered a love for Peeps. What have I been missing all these years? I thought Peeps were some stale, icky, creation BUT they turned out to be DELICIOUS! I spent my Easter Sunday biting the head's off all the ones I got in my basket. Speaking of which, that ol' boyfriend of mine pretty much made me feel like the marshmellow-y insides of one of those Peeps, he actually got me an Easter Basket and hid plastic eggs around the house.
While I was totally surprised I felt like a complete schmuck because I didn't get him one even though I totally thought about it. I figured we wouldn't do anything but he went and smashed that idea to smithereens! Love that boy :)

Our Easter day was pretty uneventful, we didn't do anything with either of our families because they were both doing late lunches or dinners and we had tickets to the Cardinals game. The game was fun except that it was a little chilly and of course started raining but that was no big deal for us because we were under the cover of Homer's Landing, which was definitely nice!

I took a personal day today to work on a grad school project and bum around the house. I pampered myself a little and got an awesome hot stone pedicure and my nails done. But otherwise I have been crossing things off my to-do list...installed a towel bar (more like supervised the installation of a towel bar, thanks Aunt Cyndi!), made ump-teen phone calls...Ashley Furniture for our missing dining room chair parts, home warranty people to schedule someone to look at our oven which won't even turn on :( and trying to get a hold of the people we bought our fridge from to repair the broken LED light. I also accomplished the weekend goal of clearing away our tool table that had been sitting in our dining room for a month and setting up our guest bedroom. No pics of that yet but will get some soon. Things are coming along quite nicely, have a good week!
