Happy Easter to all of you who honor and celebrate this wonderful holiday!
In thinking about God’s love for us, I am reminded that his love for us is constant and ever present. Through the different stages of darkness and light in my life, he was always there for me even when I didn’t remember to say “thank you.” I am so lucky. Today is such a celebration of God’s devine love, which I am honored to receive. As I spend today with my family, I send my wishes to you all that you, too, are having a wonderful time with family and friends.
Looking back into yester-year, I remember when Easter was all about dying eggs, the Easter Egg Hunt, the baskets, the chocolate bunnies, and all of the amazingly fun experiences that I shared with my twins. I would get up at 6am and hide all of the eggs in the front and back yards. I remember one year, in particular, when the ravens who live in the palm trees of our neighborhood swooped in on my eggs, even though I thought they were hidden well, and ate them to pieces before the twins awoke to start the hunt. The remnants of colored shells just laid everywhere! Now that the girls have grown into teenagers, we no longer celebrate Easter in those ways. Instead, we put all of our focus into church and celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Today, my focus is to remember that God loves me today as much as he did yesterday and as much as he will tomorrow, just as I am… imperfections and all. That brings me so much joy.
For those of you with small children who still get to enjoy the simple pleasures of Easter Egg Hunt, cherish each moment. They are gone before you know it!
And, for those of you who, like me, celebrate this religious holiday… God Bless You and Happy Easter!

Happy Sunday, Saloners!
What a busy weekend! Yesterday, my daughter auditioned for the Academy of Performing Arts at the local high school. Her twin was filming a school project and played the role of Juliet. I actually got some great reading time in and watched Breaking Dawn Part 1 with the girls last night. I still have yet to read the series. I must be the last person on earth who hasn’t read the books.
In any event, work has been keeping me busy and I did a bit of “consulting” today for family friends. I enjoyed coming home and writing my book review for Losing Clementine. It was a book that was so relatable, poignant, and had dark humor undertones. LOVED IT! My review is posting on the 4th.
Not much in the mood for The Oscars (which are on right now). But, everybody and their brother is Tweeting about how skinny Angelina Jolie’s arms look. Can’t wait to catch the pictures of her.
Off to order some Thai food for dinner and get ready for the what the upcoming week will have in store for me!
Have a great week and stay tuned for my review of Losing Clementine.

It’s true.
I’ve been going through changes at career-central. As such, I’ve been under a pile of papers and emails.
No time to read.
My DVR was so filled up that I didn’t even know that Whitney Houston died until like 3 days after the fact. At least I’m caught up on The Bachelor, Teen Mom 2, The Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Dog the Bounty Hunter.
The twins aren’t too pleased with me.
Still no dating life.
And, still in debt up to my eyeballs.
Where were my days of reading and writing and self-expression?
Maybe… just maybe… after I get caught up at work.
If you’re still out there and reading my blog… I AM ALIVE.
I have a book review which shall post on the 4th.
Love to all.

Premiering Tonight on The Discovery Channel is Combat Cash
If you enjoy such reality shows such as Pawn Stars, Storage Wars, or the like, you must tune in to Combat Cash tonight on The Discovery Channel at 10PM EST. As described in Channel Guide Magazine, “Combat Cash follows Bob Chatt and Owen Thornton as they use their knowledge, experience and money to pursue rare military artifacts. Also referred to militaria, these items include tanks, GI Joe figures, World War II flame throwers, Saddam Hussein propaganda banners and Vietnam war-era helicopters.”
I’ve seen a sneek preview of the show and it provides a balanced blend of historical facts and the good humor you would expect from reality television. I mean, what kind of collector buys tanks and flame throwers? Bob and Owen utilize their expertise to track down these wanted collectibles while Danielle Chatt manages the operations at their shop Vintage Productions.
For anybody who enjoys history, collectibles, or the military, this show is right up your alley, so tune in.
