Happy Easter to all my peeps. Get it? My "peeps" as in the grossest Easter candy in all the world (I know lousy joke, but whatever). Sorry, I don't like peeps, but all of you that do, have at it. I would never want to stop a peep lover from indulging in a marshmallow bird here and there. There are plenty of other things for me to eat on Easter . . . and the days leading up to Easter along with the days that follow Easter ;)
I hope you had an enjoyable Easter. Funny story about Easter, somehow my husband has volunteered me to make some sort of Bulgarian Easter Bread for future Easters. One of the questions that went along with our training asked how we planned to incorporate Bulgarian traditions into our lives, and Patrick promptly got on the internet to look up some traditions. He then grabbed the pen and wrote down that he
would have me make a bread that Bulgarians eat each Easter. Now,
not to brag or anything but I'm a pretty darn good cook, and I'm all for incorporating Bulgarian traditions into our lives, but my husband does not understand that there is a difference between cooking and baking. I love to cook, but I don't really love to bake. I'm not bad at baking, but I only get in a baking mood about once a year. And that time of year would be Christmas not Easter. So if my husband wants Bulgarian Easter bread, he's gonna have to eat it on Christmas. I'm not a springtime baker. Sorry.
So completely switching gears here. I went ahead and bought the quilt for our little girl's room. Now before you think I'm crazy, give me a second to explain. I saw this quilt at Pottery Barn Kids a few weeks ago, and I absolutely fell in love with it. The price, I was not so in love with. This past weekend, we were in a nearby town, which happens to have two of the greatest
and most crowded outlet malls in the world, and I thought to myself, "why don't we just swing in there and see what they have?" Amazingly, no one in the car objected (that like never happens), so off to the Pottery Barn Kids Outlet we headed. Now, I didn't expect them to have the quilt I liked, as they usually carry stuff that has either been out a while or has been discontinued, but I was hoping to find something similar. I walked in and started looking around, and suddenly BAM (I used to watch Emeril sometimes) there it was right in front of me for $65 less than the regular store. Being the trusting person that I am, I asked the sales girl what exactly was wrong with it. Of course, she gave me some vague response about how she didn't know, but it was probably damaged. I mean she only worked there, wouldn't want to expect too much out of her. So I proceeded to inspect that sucker, and I didn't find anything major or noticeable. On the end at the very bottom, there were some variations in the color, but you won't see them unless you lay on the floor and shine a really bright light on them. Uh, if you do that, I will ask you to leave my house because that is just weird. So I loaded that baby up and brought it home. Right now it's on the bed, but I'll take it off soon. I don't want it getting dirty.
Ain't it purty? (Sorry if birds freak you out) I still have to buy the shams and stuff, but at least I have the quilt. Yay!
Before I go, I wanted to ask you to please be in prayer throughout this week about the meeting between the adoption reps and the Minister of Justice in Bulgaria. I still don't know the exact date, but it is expected to happen this week. Hopefully, they can start processing adoptions much more quickly. That would be awesome for us! And if you will also continue to pray that my FBI fingerprints get cleared (at the speed of light) I would really appreciate it. Enjoy what's left of your Easter and have a great start to your week.
