The Good Friday service was very meditative and meaningful.Â? (I have a problem talking about the “excellence” of a service where we crucify a guy just for being nice.Â? Oh yeah… there’s that realization of Him dying for my sins and well… “good” doesn’t describe the service adequately.)

Jon had an Eagle Court to attend on Saturday so I went into SBY and had lunch and then curled up at my favorite coffeeshop/boutique and read my copy of “Real Simple”.Â? We don’t do Easter vigil so I had a quiet night.

I skipped the sunrise service on Sunday morning — my neck was really achey and I didn’t fall asleep until 1 so I decided to sleep in until the more reasonable hour of 7 a.m.Â? I did the second and third services at church which was great — traditional hymns where I could sing harmony and enjoy myself.

We had Easter dinner (noon meal) with a family at Church #3.Â? I work with the wife (she’s a nurse) and they ended up having all their kids home for the first time in ages.Â? Jon went and shot at things with their sons and daughter after dinner while their daughter-in-law and I took a walk.

Before dinner, their daughter, daughter-in-law, and I dyed Easter eggs.Â? Dude… I can’t wait to see the pictures of the three of us.Â? Their daughter and I colored our fingers all sorts of colors in the process and had a great time of it.Â? :)Â? I think it was the first time in maybe 9 years (?) that I colored eggs and I had forgotten how much fun it is.

Other than the sheer disappointment at no Grey’s Anatomy last night (!!!!!!!!!!!!!), it was actually a good holiday weekend.Â? If only I had gotten this morning to sleep in…

(Actually, I got up easily and willingly this morning — I love my job that much.)
