Happy Easter!

I had another early day today. After taking my Mom to work this morning, I decided not to go back to bed and went out for a run instead. After my morning jog, I got ready for the 9:30 AM mass (my sister and I agreed last night that we will attend the 9:30 mass today). At around 9:15 I was all set but everyone else in our house is still asleep (I wonder why?). A few minutes later, I saw my sister coming out of her room and she told me that we will just attend the 11:30 mass. I was upset at first because I could have gone back to bed and catch a couple more hours of sleep. Then I thought, instead of sulking, I'll just prepare lunch for Easter. :P

Easter is one of the few times that the church gets crammed, even the parking lot is full (the other two is Thanksgiving and Christmas). Since today is a special occasion, I wore a dress to church today. I hardly ever wear dresses; I am more of a t-shirt and jeans girl...haha. I have plenty of dresses and some of them even have tags on but all they do is collect dust from my closet...lol. I do love dresses but I find t-shirt and jeans more convenient (I know some girls out there can relate, right?).

After the mass, my sister and brother-in-law bought shrimp lo mein and beef fried rice from Ying's Chinese Takee Outee and chicken from Popeye's, which we ate for lunch.

The food that I prepared for lunch ended up as our dinner. I made fruit salad, baked chocolate chip bread and lasagna (I made the lasagna extra cheesy).

Oh no today is the end of lent that means my sister is allowed to eat chocolates again. She's on to her addiction now... she even bought an Easter bunny chocolate. I better hide the rest of the chocolates. ;)

Happy Easter to all and may God bless us always!
