It totally feels like a Sunday morning. My body apparently has no idea I am about to drag it up to the shower in like 10 minutes. Poor thing.

But I do totally feel relaxed this morning. Richard has the cats out back with him while he enjoys his coffee in the sun. I had enough time to eat breakfast. Not a big breakfast, but toast is a luxury for a gay on the go. (Yes that means I skipped the gym again today. Shush up about it. I have committed to using the stairs at work and I have to change floors at least twice every ten minutes on the weekend. I am feelin it yo.)

Oh. And somebody brought home milk last night! So I have normal coffee today. *grin*

Anyway. I hope the weekend off people are having a swell time!

Easter Brunch is at my place this year. It has been hinted that the house should be “decorated for Easter”. Decorated for Easter? What? Huh?

Is there such a thing?

So today we ventured into the local Michael’s to look around. It turns out I was right. Not a lot of Easter decor. A lot of little things like for a table… So I am actually at a loss. What the hell do I do? I bought some fake red daisies for the table since I loved the real ones, but I can’t just keep buying fresh flowers. The cats might eat ‘em, plus maintaining them can get expensive. Those are kinda just for everyday tho. I also got some fake tulips. The tulips really say “spring” and they had red, so they totally match my decor. I put those into a glass pitcher on top of the bar. Now for the actual brunch I bought three traditional Easter baskets. I figure it’d be cute to do breakfast pastries and muffins in those.. The last thing I figured I’d get, and I don’t even know if it exists, is a large paper mache or plaster type rabbit. Something at least knee high for next to the fireplace. I think that will be impossible. But plan B would be fresh Easter lilies by the fireplace. We were going to get some anyways, it’d just be one or two more. We’d just have to put them outside right afterwards… I also think we should have hard boiled eggs on-hand and we could dye them, but that might be too over the top. No one in attendance is going to be age six. In fact, yeah, bad idea.

Anyhoo. I’ll have to remember to photograph the whole affair. If I pull off “decorated for Easter” I will want to record it for the internets..

UPDATE: Easter / SPRING decor attempts on Flickr.

Ow. My head…

One thing I have been doing to loose weight is avoid sugar. There is a lot of sugar in booze. So, I have been avoiding booze. Well last night I was in a celebratory mood (OMG iPhone!!) so I had Richard whomp me up some Appletinis. I had 4. Four doesn’t really sound like a lot. Well, it does… but I had 2 before dinner and feasted on tacos before I had the last 2. Apparently that was more than enough to render me useless this morning. I slept poorly. I am sure due to all the sugar my body isn’t used to. My head hurts. I am dehydrated. I probably smell.

Ew.

I am missing the big breakfast with ‘the group’. Luckily no one was really expecting me for that. Everyone knows I am NOT a morning person. So now I have an hour or 2 to rebuild myself and get cute. I AM expected for shopping.

Where’s mai Advil?

Isn’t it funny how you can go though life skipping breakfast almost everyday without a thought, but the one day you have no time for it.. it’s all you can think about. I am sooo hungry!

Bacon, eggs, toast, pancakes, cereal, french toast, syrup, omelets, orange juice…. mmmmm.

We are running low on milk this morning. Really low. I did have enough for my coffee and cereal at least. But it reminded me…

When my brother and I were young and we were running low on milk we’d still get cereal for breakfast. However we were not aloud to drink the milk at the end. We had to save it so my mother could put it in her coffee.

Is that weird? That seems weird to me. And a bit gross. Heh.

Okay, yeah. I am really missing my extra hour right now. Oh well.

One thing I never do is go out for breakfast. I mean I have before, but not in a really long time. This morning I was thinking about that. You know how the server comes by with two coffee pots (caf./decaf.) and offers to “warm up your coffee?” So you say “sure!” and then have to get all busy trying to get your milk and sugar balance right again. I want to go out for breakfast soon.

Mmm, french toast…
