Easter Sunday

How many people can say they went to Church on Easter Sunday?
Lots, which is great

BUT

How many people can say they made out with an egg on Easter Sunday?
I know of three and yes one of them was ME!

OK, I didn't really make out with an egg. Katie, Julann, and I did what is called "egg blowing." Its where you puncture a small hole on both ends of an egg, blow into one end of the egg so that the guts come out the other. The purpose is to create a lighter egg that you can decorate and then hang. We ended up painting all of them instead of, the more traditional, dying. They turned out beautiful and it was a lot of FUN!

Car Rental

I have never rented a car before. To rent a car one must have a credit card and that person will be the primary driver. Of the four of us going to Hawaii, only the two girls have a credit card and both do NOT want to drive over in Hawaii. Yes, we could just pay the $12 a day extra to have a second driver but that is just too much money. Our solution: I am finally adding Peter to my credit card after being married for 10 months. It has taken this long to add him only because I have never had a previous reason to add him and I am just lazy. Another area I am lazy in, changing my last name. Changing my last name will be confusing, costs money and time, and I have been warned that it is very frustrating.

Memory

One day I called my Mom on her cell phone.
She answered and I said, "hi."
She immediately said, "Shhh, Stop Yelling!"
I said in a whisper, "But, I'm not yelling."
Her response, "Whitney, you are yelling and everyone in this waiting room is staring at me!"
Then it dawned on me, "Mom, is your speaker phone on?"
Mom- "What is a speaker phone and how do I turn it off?"

I love my Mom!
