We went to dinner last night as a *large* group to celebrate bluephoenix13's birthday at a local Japanese place, and had a good time.

I made it to the 0730 Mass this morning to hit one that was not incredibly overcrowded. That went well, and then after breakfast, proceeded home for Extended NapTime since mostly everything else is closed. Time was also spent contacting/being contacted by various family members. The most fun was had when I called my mother and stepfather, and Mom and I proceeded to torment my stepfather with the thoughts of impending grandfather-hood. I was pleased to discover that my parents are coming down to Louisiana for his nephew's wedding, so I will get to see them in April. *happy bounce* I will likely get to see Mom in May as well, since she's going to try and come down to Vegas while I am there.

Treating myself to the pleasure of a quiet Sunday, and watching Pride and Prejudice, while doing some housecleaning.

I hope everyone who is celebrating it is having a nice Easter.

Amazon = Evil

So I ordered my Amelia Peabody book, and yet another history book to join the family here, this one about the assassination of Heydrich in Prague. I expect to enjoy that one greatly, especially since I've actually stood in that crypt where they made their last stand. That, of course, fulfilled my Super Saver shipping amount, and I went on to add in a few of the Nancy Drew and/or Hardy Boys books that we're going through a phase reading now. Yes, more of the 80's and 90's nostalgia that's so prevalent. What can I say? You're talking to the person who would read the side of a cereal box in the morning, just to have something to read.

And speaking of 80's nostalgia, they're talking about making a Dallas movie. That should be fun, although I am decidedly not thrilled about the idea of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Brad Pitt playing Sue Ellen and JR.

Unfortunately, this week, I have to study. History test on Thursday. There's also my ever expanding "to-read" pile. Like I've said, some people are attracted to small,shiny things - some of us are attracted to books.

The bookcases are in a state of rearrangement. It's sort of an organic process, or would be if I could just get the books to move themselves. I do look forward to combining my books with my husband's.

Off to get ready to start another week!
