eggs. not just easter eggs. although that came to mind since the holiday is fast approaching this weekend. i like cadburry eggs for easter time. but for all year long. i enjoy german soft boiled eggs. the kind you get to eat with mini spoons. out of special egg cups. the most fun is cutting off the top. you just never know what the egg will be like when you open it. the hopes is that it will be runny. not under cooked. definitely not over cooked. but perfect.



easter. although i am not the most religious of folks. i enjoy decorating for every holiday. just like all the other senior citizens in my complex. a friend once said i was about a week away from getting a house full of cats. (ick. just ick.) and then i really would be an old. cat lady. but back to easter. it is my most favorite to decorate for. i love the pastel colors. robin eggs. chicks. light blues. the fun designs. simply fabulous. my home will remain in easter flair until i decide it has to go back to normal. since there are no other holidays to look forward to until halloween. it might be a while.

europe. my heritage. they all come from europe. i lived in germany as a small child. providing me many memories. our last spring there we traveled across europe like the griswolds. in true style. we had the family truckster. oldsmobile. blue. cutlass classic. station wagon. sans the wooden paneling. it was my grandparents visiting from nebr. plus the four of us. i sat up front between my dad and bruno. brother was in the back between his ladies. we drove across england. ireland. whales. only making stops during the day for the hot spots. and whippies. soft served ice cream cones. i later found out, this was my father's nickname for them. spent a night on a ferry. back to the deutschland. brother fell off the top bunk in the middle of the night. i laughed hysterically. served him right for poking fun at me for fearing my life. to have some old man hold me while kissing the blarney stone. so i didnt kiss it. we never made it south of austria. i want to go back. experience the southern half. well. and maybe go back to the north to see the countries as an adult.

GF08: ran 3 miles again last night. can we say stellar move jg. hope to make it another victory tomorrow night. this evening i did a nice jog/walk outdoors with the gal pals. we then ate our way through a feast of sushi. how devine.
