Abby could not look happier about her visit from the Easter Bunny!! The bunny must have missed me...

Sounds like you had an amazing weekend. Since you started talking about Facebook I've toyed with the idea of checking it out but then have thought better of it. I don't need any more addictions at this point!

Sass, I don't think so. She was on a happy high for three days straight. So today we had a lazy jammie day to balance it out.

Karen, it was a great weekend, if a little too busy. Yes it is an addiction, the internet equivalent to crystal meth. You're hooked instantly. One of my brother's friends said it's like going to a high school reunion, but nobody can see how old/fat/bald you're looking. I've been in touch with people I haven't spoken to in years. It's been fun.
