Anyway, Ryan got a day off from school. Here are some pics from our Easter Monday activities. No parades, just a beautiful sunny day at the park with da Jones'. We're still getting over the sunburns.

Easter Monday
During my junior year in college, I went on spring break to the Bahamas. On Easter Sunday - nothing happened. We had a regular beach day and went out that night. But, on Easter Monday as they called it, the place went nuts celebrating the holiday. The shops were closed, there was music everywhere and a parade, and the beaches were packed with locals. I even let a woman named Babydoll braid my hair for $5 (yup, I know, Sucker.)

Easter Weekend
Saturday morning started with an Easter egg hunt put on by the city.
It turned out to be a gorgeous day, which for Ryan meant pretending it was summer and getting out the squirt guns. He definitely got the worst of it - he got the wettest and even ran so much he ran his skinny little body right out of his pants!

March Madness
It is time. Ever since my alma mater made it to the big dance in 1989 for the very first time, I've been hooked. When Siena got their first bid, a couple hundred of us hopped on some chartered buses and drove through the night to Greensboro, NC. None of my roomates were sports fans so I decided to go alone and make friends as I went. That day, Saint Patrick's Day in fact, Siena beat Stanford in one of most exciting games I've ever seen. Of course, it helps to have seats right on the floor under the basket. All 3 buses full of people now wanted to stay; and that's when I became a Duke fan. The Duke people were offering their homes, their condos, to share hotel costs - they were awesome. I called my parents with what little voice I had left to beg for money for a hotel room. Siena wound up losing a day or two later to Minnesota but it was an experience I'll always be thrilled I had. It was worth missing lacrosse practice and a statistics exam :)

Lindsey Tagged Me!
I've been tagged so here goes...
What I was doing ten years ago: I was living in NY, working for GE a gazillion hours a week, skiing every weekend, and playing at Lake George as much as possible.
5 Things on My To-Do List: The small picture stuff is boring (wash the car, mail a package, buy groceries etc) so I wanted to think bigger - Have another baby, build a dream house, take a trip to England/Ireland so we can hit Wimbledon, take a trip to Australia to see Chris and Penny and play down there a bit, and... oh, get Lasik eye surgery.
Things I would do if I became an insta-billionaire: After paying off absolutely everything, I would have my dream house built, well 3 of them - one in NY, one in Park City, and one in Florida. That way, all the best seasons are covered. While those were being built, we could pack up and spend a year or two traveling the world on a cruise ship. We could home school Ryan so that's no biggie. I promise I would give to charity and lots of folks who are needy too.
3 Bad Habits: First, I hide stuff. I hate clutter that I have to put stuff away - letters, bills, toys, food, clothing - I can't stand to see it out. Now, the part that makes this a bad habit, is that I usually can't remember where I put anything. I also split my nails and hate to get the mail.
Places I Have Lived: Rotterdam, NY; Germany for 6 weeks one summer; Bolton Landing, NY; Rochester, NY; Albany, NY; Orem, UT; Cedar Hills, UT
Jobs I Have Had: cleaning cabins, Dairy Queen, hostess, waitress, substitute teacher, stuffed animal salesperson (don't ask), Hershey Chocolate sales rep, car wash, corporate trainer, instructional designer, interior designer
Things You Might Not Know About Me: I can be paralyzingly shy. In kindergarten, my teacher notified my parents that she thought I was "retarded" (her word) because I wouldn't speak. Also, I hate Halloween. It's getting better now that I have Ryan but ever since preschool and having to dress up every year for a halloween parade, I hated it. I did NOT like the attention. You can't pay me to wear a costume!
OK, I tag: Julie!!
