Someone at work today asked me how my Easter was. I said “Oh, you know, it was Easter in the house of an atheist and a pagan. We ate beef.” They seemed really taken aback by that, I can’t imagine why.
In reality, it was a very lazy day. Rick hit golf balls in the morning, I…didn’t do homework. (Spring Break mentality is killing me, people. I am so behind on the homework, but there I sat watching Project Runway.) In the afternoon, he came home and cooked us beef tenderloin for dinner, and then we flipped back and forth between the Sox game and The Sound of Music. He’s a good boy, letting me not only watch musicals but sing along with them. Although I wonder how much of it he was actually paying attention to and how much he was making up scenes in his head. Like this one, which flew out of his mouth because he has no internal censor:
Maria (on TV): “Which brings me to another transgression, Reverend Mother. I was singing out there today.”
Reverend Mother (on TV): “Only in the abbey do we have rules about postulants singing.”
Maria (on TV): “I can’t stop wherever I am.” (Rick cuts in, as Maria) “In fact, I made up a new song today! Would you like to hear it? ‘Dominique-nique-nique….’”
Rick as Reverend Mother (severely annoyed): Maria! That’s enough!”
I almost pissed myself because I was laughing so hard.
Other than that, we had a very lazy day, as shown in this photo montage.
“Dude, what? I’m sleepin’ here.”
“See? I has a tired.”
“What the hell is the other one up to? Is he going to jump on me again?”
“No, I’m just stretchin’!”
“But I could kick your ass. I have thumbs, you know.”
“I hate my life.”
Actually, that shows that three of us had a lazy afternoon. Freddie looks harassed. Somewhere in cat heaven, Joe is looking down and laughing because now Freddie knows what it’s like. Karma exists, even on the feline level.

I don’t know why someone would be taken aback by your Easter. Since we went to Mass on Saturday for Easter vigil, we went the zoo and had a kick ass steak for dinner. See, you pagans and us Christians aren’t so different.
I got through about 3/4 of the Sound of Music before I couldn’t take it any more and turned on the Lord of the Rings. Slaying orcs beats singing Von Trapps any day.
Glad you had a comfy Easter. Now get back to work!
Take it easy Julie,you deserve to have a nice restful day.
