Happy Easter my friends! What doing?
We're headed off to Kat and Chas's house for an Easter Potluck Feast. I have held off eating anything all day so that I can be famished once we get there. I have prepared a red bliss potato salad as my contribution to the bounty. Went over to visit Kathleen yesterday and she was preparing some heavenly sounding sweet potato/carrot cake thingy. Yummmm...can't wait.
Speaking of food, my friend Angela was here again this past week. She left on Thursday and when I came home that evening from work, she'd left me a couple of big containers of amazing chicken-vegetable soup and a heaping plate of brownies. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed these things. The soup she made was incredible; chock full of onions, garlic, ginger, carrots, chicken and big hearty noodles. It had a great spicy flavor that instantly cleared the sinuses and made the taste buds do a happy dance. Real chicken soup for the soul, that's for sure.
And those brownies...those brownies possibly saved the life of my boyfriend Rob during a serious bout of PMS. If not for the healing powers of those blissful, chocolatey treats, it might have been a total meltdown scenario on Thursday and Friday.
Thanks Angela! Few parting gifts could beat that one.

Just a quick hello. Home for a few days. Just got back from Provincetown where Neil and I had Easter dinner with several friends. Ham's not my favourite but it'll do.
Glad to know you're well and still here blogging!
Best to Rob.

Good to hear Maria. You're JOKING! Really?? Glad you had a great time. Yes, we're doing fine. Thanks for asking. Oh yes, the job's going well and spring's in the air I agree. You did what?? You sat out on your stoop yesterday and took in the sunshine? It's always so renewing, isn't it?
Helloooooooooo... echo, echo, echo....
;-)
(thought we straightened this away but I guess not..) you hold a grudge better than al qaeda)
Sandy tells me you thought I was 'Cosa' too. Honey I'm not. My grammar's better.
People skills doll. People skills. Why not simply angrily reply to the posters who challenge your threads like the one just below? That's the way. Well done!

I haven't had a great deal of time to blog lately, as you can see, and sometimes my responses to those who have commented come out sporadically. I would hope for more understanding from my real friends. There's nothing friendly about being guilted. And I'm not much for holding grudges, but I also don't forget once someone has shown me their true colors. I've seen yours and I'll never be able to pretend that I didn't. It's probably best not to expect that things will ever be as they once were. Cest la vie.

Posted by: Cupie at March 29, 2005 11:21 PMOh man..glad I came back and checked...I haven't been able to access your site for like 2 days...must have been a glitch on my end or something :) Good to see you still up.
Posted by: Sandy at March 31, 2005 06:44 AMforget to renew, Maria? a couple of people that I have linked have done that in the last week or so.
Posted by: girl at March 31, 2005 05:59 PMYeah I didn't get the emails. I knew it was going to happen soon though so it wasn't a big surprise. Anyway, glad to be back up! Even though I've been delinquent lately, I feel at a loss without my blog! Aaaah!
