So, I've got everything done for Easter...
...just in case I don't make it to Costco tomorrow morning. We could use some more T(angerine)J, but I can pick some up at the local organic market if necessary. Already a holiday accident, I noticed, right at the main entrance off State Route 69 into the Prescott Gateway Mall. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I want to stay off the roads this weekend.
Yes, I've got Mom's HoneyBaked Ham. Yes, I got scones. Yes, I got pie. Cherry. Crumble crust. Tried to get Mrs. Smith's but there was a run on them pies so I got Marie Callendar's, frozen version. Yes I got plenty of lemons for Hollandaise sauce for the broccoli. Yes, I expect her to eat the broccoli, which will be (very) lightly steamed. Yes, flowers will be arriving today, Gerbera Daisies. I may even pick one of the daffodils for the house. Haven't decided. Yes, I know, it's going to rain this afternoon and this evening. Yes, we've got a good movie; two, in fact.
I'm feeling especially good about everything, including something you'd think I wouldn't feel so good bout, I'm not sure where our taxes are in the process of being done and how much we need to send to The Feds on Monday. I totally forgot about it. Until yesterday. Stupid day to decide to email MA, right!?! But, I figured it would be even more stupid to call. Anyway, I've got it covered. If I don't have an amount by Mondy AM I'll send in our first ES payments in the same amount as last year. I'll trust (and I mean this), even if I don't hear anything, that any overages we owe The Feds on last year will be filed electronically at the proper time, whether I hear to this effect. And if it isn't? Got it covered, emotionally, anyway. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?
So I guess it's obvious, we're spending Easter here. No one's called with an invitation. I haven't attempted to scrounge invitations. So, this is nice. Especially with today's weather.
I'm not sure whether I'm letting Mom sleep in. Maybe. We'll see.
I'll probably check in again...
...later.
