Easter

Last week was busy. Work was busy since we were short on people (I didn't get to take a break for two days in a row; it could've been worse but I complain a lot). Monday, Sarah and I went to the CASA volunteer dinner and we chose shawls, which the bridesmaids will wear, at her wedding at David's Bridal. She bought us pearl earrings (faux) at Ann Taylor and another "surprise." Tuesday night was my night for bunco (a dice game). There are eight women in my bunco group: three of us work at SYB, three work at BB&T and two are siblings of my friends Steph and Lindsey. We have met once a month since November and play for money. I held bunco at Steph's, because my house is simply too small for the group. We had salad, Stouffer's chicken enchiladas, nachos and baked cheetos (I never ate cheetos as a child, but I love these!), and angel food cake with a strawberry glaze. I was happy with my food selection and I think everyone else liked it too. Steph and I split second place-- it's the third time I've won money and the fourth or fifth time for her. We both got $20; well, we each put in $10 so we won $10. Wednesday, I took a lovely walk and went over to Brian's and we went to the Granville to meet his friend Patrick. Finally, Thursday, I worked at Taste of Kentucky with Linda. She was kind of in a bad mood but not with me, with the store manager. Anyway, Friday was the typical long day at work (as all of us bankers know) and I had lunch with Eliot (my brother) at Chick-fil-a. Brian came over that night and we went to Yang Kee Noodle (this little faux Asian place in Oxmoor mall) and then we went to see "Inside Man" at Stonybrook. Great flick and the soundtrack was by none other than Terrance Blanchard, who we saw at the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis in January. And Clive Owen isn't so bad looking either, but I think my boyfriend is sexier, well, just because he is here and real. I'm not really one for celebrity crushes, not even when I was a teenybopper. I'm more into musicians myself.

I am truly obsessed with the Internet movie database website, aka imdb.com. I love it and when I go on there to check out a movie, I am generally on there for like an hour checking out biographies, sypnopses, user comments, etc. There are some movies I want to see really badly right now like "Match Point," "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," Hitchcock movies, "Blade Runner" for the second time.

Anyway, yesterday was busy too. I worked at the bank (oh, I have to love that overtime pay), baked a pineapple casserole and a quiche, worked at a Taste of Kentucky, and bowled two games at Ten Pin lanes with my friend Natalie from work and two of her friends. Not my finest hour of bowling, but I enjoy being out with people.

Today, I went to church with my Grandad and my two brothers and then I went out to my parent's house for Easter dinner with Brian and my brothers. We had a lovely meal and I am still stuffed. I am so jealous because Eliot and Graham are in such great shape. I mean, Graham does run marathons! I may go to the gym myself in a few minutes and watch "Just like Heaven." Or maybe I will go for a walk here. It made me happy that Brian's mom said hello to me while he was in the phone with her. I can't wait to meet his parents, even though it will probably be a few months. I'll charm the pants off of them, I am quite sure.

Oh, so I will be traveling to Ole Miss next weekend with Adam Chapman for Allison's recital. I am excited about seeing old friends, etc.
