Screw Hallmark

So this is a desperate attempt to pretend that I'm all about bunnies, Easter baskets, pastel colors, and Hallmark Holidays. It's no secret...I'm Not!

However, this year I am going to be brave and just say it - I miss my family and i want to go home today. There I said it! I don't want the chocolate covered-something or another, the sugar coated sweet thing, kids crying because they are dressed up and uncomfortable and doped up on sugar.

I want a hour drive to the calm coast with my parents and my brother. We will take several hours walking on the sand, have lunch at Jaspers and find the best salt-water taffy in Morro Bay. I will spend half the day looking at God's creation through the view-finder and half way during the day my mom and dad will get close enough to hold hands as they walk along the beach. My brother will stroll silently as his wheels turn about something - I'm still trying to figure that man out. We will never be in a hurry to drive back home but we all know we never came to stay. It was the simplest day of my life and the impact of Easter 07' is stronger than i think my family knows.

Today is beautiful, to say the least. I'm torn between blogging all day, taking some photos along highway 99, working on my resume, or doing some Target work at home (seriously? have you realized that is becoming a pattern in my life?) Anyways . . .

I started my day off with a cowboy smile, gourmet coffee, bagel and cream cheese, my array of pillows with my heaven of a blanket. Today shouldn't be that bad, however, it will never compare . . .
