~ Happy Easter ~

by Tina~in_ut



I love this song!  It's Easter to me.....maybe not this version, but I like it~ I couldn't find one with Ricky Martin singing it!  I tried~  I think I'll send this link to my mother......she'll just die!~ lol~

  1. OK....I think thats the best version of that song that I have ever heard....

    after all those god awful Sugarland videos...has Tina finally got her funk on??

    Oh...and I think I saw the easter bunny....its hiding inside the lead singers trousers to the right of his zipper....

    *I hope everyone has a wonderful day on this easter sunday!!

  3. Hello everyone and Happy Easter!

    We have already had a full morning of the Easter Bunny, gifts, and church. In another hour we are off to my ma's house for lunch/dinner, can't wait!!

  5. No Maureen...I wish! ....those darlings will be at church then at their Dallas grandparents...their dads parents...that small section of my family...the kids and their mom and dad are the only tolerable people in my family...and fortunately they are very tolerable....very cool....Alicia is a little on the jesus-ie side but after a couple of martinis she shuts up...lol

    They live in Dallas....My Belle has a hair appt today....I KNOW!! ...on Easter! Crazy....but it is essential...

    I am going to Hearne Tx about 20 minutes north to see friends that have 2 granddaughters that think I hung the moon.....THAT is the neatest feeling knowing that the little dodgers are excited about your visit....and we shall hide and hunt eggs....I shall teach them the stylish way....lol...I think they are the giggling-est 2 little girls I know!!
    And now its doubly important because they're Mom is working today and Grandmas best friends daughter has been killed in a car accident early this morning.....so I can stay with the girls and keep the Easter in full swing and the grandparents can go do what they need to do....this way the kids don't even have to hear about it and can be kids today instead of the alternative of having to go with the grampsies....kwim?

    And they are catholic so there was nothing easter bunny related for them at church.....

    it will be a good day... Abigail and Gabrielle are always great...

    and I do hope its good for you all....

  6. TINA: I love the happiness in the voices of all those singing and the joy on their faces. Great video!!

    Hello to TINKA,ITEACH and ZONA.

    ReplyDelete
  8. MICHAEL...it sounds like you love children. Have you ever thought of adopting?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Michael Congrats on first. You look especially nice today.....probably because you zeroed in on where the Easter bunny was hiding. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  10. Tina Enjoyed the vid even if it isn't my favorite version. It was upbeat and uplifting. Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  11. iteach Sounds like you have a busy day. I bet you will enjoy your mom's cooking. That's always the best, right?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Tinka Enjoy your nice, relaxing day. How's your buns?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Zona I envy your spic and span house. Rarely can I make that claim.

    ReplyDelete
  14. MO Is there only one of you today?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Sugarsangel~ You made me spit out my frosted flakes~ :D

    Michael~ congrats on first....and you were prayed for....so take that!!~

    Mo~ Glad to see one of you here today~

    Iteach~ have fun at ma's~

    Tinka~ Enjoy your chocolate~

    Zona~ what does spic and span mean? :)~

    J/L~ I loved the song....it just jumped out at me when I was looking for one for today....way better than the mormon tab choir~

    Jodi~ VERY happy easter to you....best day ever for your dad!~ muah~

    ReplyDelete
  16. Praise Jesus! The oldest just called from Oregon.....HE WENT TO MASS!!!! And he just called to wish us a happy Easter~! (i'm in shock!) :D

    ReplyDelete
  17. Tina Congrats on raising a good boy. Now he won't feel guilty when he spends the rest of the day drinking cheap beer with his friends. LOL Just kidding....maybe. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  18. HOdi Holding you close in my thoughts and prayers.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Jodi - I let another candle at church today and prayed that your dad would not suffer. I am thinking of you.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I just got up from my nap. This is the laziest Easter Sunday I can remember. With half of the family in Hawaii and the Accountant busy in Vancouver, Jack and I are all alone. It's very different but we kind of like it. It is so quiet in the house. All the "fur babies" are sleeping.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Tina - I had my first piece of chocolate "an O'Henry bar". It was good but once you get away from sweet you really don't miss it.

    ReplyDelete
  22. 25 Just-Lin - We are enjoying our buns today. I will send some more to the nest.

    ReplyDelete
  23. J/L~ i hate you~

    Tink~ I'm so glad Jack is enjoying ur buns today~ :)~

    ReplyDelete
  24. JUST LIN and TINA...Yes, just one of me today. I sent the other 2 off to hunt for Easter eggs and look for the Matzah that has been hidden all week. Should keep them busy for days.

    TINA...glad the boy called.

    SUGARSANGEL...LOL! You just created that profile, so who are ya???!!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Happy Easter Owls.

    Jodi, Thinking of you. ♥

    Went to brunch with the family after Church and now it's time for a nap.

    Tina, Thanks for the uplifting song. It was a perfect choice for today. BTW, having a little experience with college kids, I agree with J/L's assessment!

    Mo, good to see your single self here today. Wait...that assumes that I wasn't glad to see your multiple selves and that's not true...glad to see any of your selves, anytime!

    Michael, My Catholic Church had Easter Bunny related activities today for the children and they do every year.

    Zona, I know what spic and span means, but it hardly ever applies to my house, unfortunately.

    Sugarsangel, Lurker no more...or are you? Welcome.

    Waving a wing to all the other Owls and hoping you are having a good day.

    ReplyDelete
  26. J/L & Sackie~ Please let this mother pretend! The twins looked at me over dinner last night and asked me if I really believed he went to "visit friends!" ugh! I know what he's doing......but I don't know what he's "doing"~ kwim?~

    ReplyDelete
  27. Barb..

    I didn't know if it was a Catholic thing or not...they just didn't have anything at their church...its a small town and I think the clergy there is on a visiting rotation of sorts....

    But we had fun...they wore me out...lol

    sugarsangel...I didn't think anyone noticed that I am anti GOP...lol....the dragulator was fun!! The black thing is interesting....when I lived in Denver one of my best friends who taught school up there was black and he had a lot of family in Denver....I refer to the time period as "when I was black for a year"...spending a great deal of time with them I was astonished at the racism that they tolerated on a daily basis.....at times it was actually scary...I had never seen it in action before....it was an eye opener...

    Tina....thanks for the prayers....it can't hurt....

    Maureen...I have never considered adopting kids...although I do love them...I raised a son and feel that I was successful with that...and I don't want to push my luck...

  28. Nighty night Owls! It's been a longass emotional day. I'm going to bed. My throat is no longer about to explode, but my voice is horse and I have a runny drippy nose.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I wasn't crazy about the song Tina. Sorry. But I'm sure you aren't surprised by that.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Sending Jodi a big Nova Scotia hug. Take care my friend!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Happy Easter Peeps!

    Now that the niceties are out of the way.

    Was I surprised Michael-DeeDee was a man? No! Nor do I care. DeeDee was always kind to me and entertaining to boot. Do I think Deedee went over the top with some people yes. But I figured out she was a big girl and would have to take the repercussions.

    Now what I do resent is being told to accept Deedee and that Deedee was fun and harmless and well intentioned until it seems that Deedee-Michael and Tina had a dust up and then I was supposed to shun and delete DeeDee-Michael. Took me right back to Jr. High that did. What happened to taking care of your conflicts outside of the nest.

    Hey this is the internet world and many people are not what they seem. Which brings me to bonacici just who the hell are you and where do you get off? You have verbally bitch slapped several of the owls and we still put up with your posts. I literally mean who the hell are you? I have tried several times to figure it out from your outlandish descriptions but I'm stumped I take anything you post with a sack of salt and more.

    Now if some you would pause and think you would figure out who sugarsangel is.

    I am off going to take my meds and try to forget this crappy weekend happend.

    Kick me out shun me whatever!!!! It will just be something to talk the the therapist and psychiatrist about this week.

    Michael kudos to you for trying to make amends!

    ReplyDelete
  32. bonachichi you are the sick one and you are crossing the line. You are accusing someone of something you have no knowledge of. Whose underage children does he have access to?

    I am going to be the first person to ask you to leave the blog. If she does not stop this nonsense I am done.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Michael I hope you are not offended, but I like Michael better than DeeDee. For whatever reason, I connect to you so much better then I did to DeeDee. I always thought of DeeDee as a fictional character. I wished that you had came out a lot sooner.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Not pretending is a good thing,no doubt, but being sensitive to people goes a long ways too. It is something for all of us to remember.

    ReplyDelete
  35. LYNN...I love you sistah!

    ITEACH...Fictional charater is a good description!

    CHI CHI...as someone that has been in your cross-hairs more then once, where is YOUR apology to the nest? ija

    ReplyDelete
  36. Well, I've had a couple of days to think about it and I've decided that I don't have a problem with anyone. It's a new day, a new reality, and that's okay with me.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Well...today and Easter an important day to most of us and JODI lost her father today. I guess I am just stating what is important to me today. I am not disagreeing with the comments just stating a fact for myself so please no one take offense.

    Happy Easter to all of you and JODI, you are and your family are in my prayers. xxoo

    ReplyDelete
  38. Michael I know you're a guy so maybe you don't get this (most men don't) but it may be that someone would appreciate a personal apology. Just a suggestion.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I am so saddened by today's blog. It is Easter Sunday, a day to rejoice and have fun. This blog has been so happy all week. I just loved writing on it but on this Holy Day it sounds like the script from "Mean Girls". I guess I will just forget about the blog today and turn on the movie "Easter Parade".

    Good Night All.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Dianne Yes. That is what is most important today.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Dianne - I think you and I are on the same wave length tonight. I had a wonderful Easter and I hope you did too. My heart and thoughts are with Jodi tonight.
    God bless us all and keep us safe.

    ReplyDelete
  42. DIANNE...you're right. This is most disrespectful to JODI and I apologize to her and everyone here.

    And I am sorry to have disrespected such a holy and joyous day to you and the others.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hugs to Jodi if she checks in today!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Tracy is too strung out over this....there is something more behind her anger...I don't know what and I don't care.

    Jodi was my first internet friend...she even took over writing my morning note from Tina with a hilarious cussing insult when Tina gave up cussing for lent...

    I am sorry to those here that I care about. If I hurt you or let you down I am begging for your forgiveness....

    This is hard for me...I could just move along and be done with the whole experience....and I hope the fact that I am doing this speaks to you and that it makes you know that I love you all....and if Tracy persists in her evil posts and/or there cannot be peace here and I have to go...it couldn't be without having said that...

  45. From A51: (I was at an Easter Egg decorating party yesterday afternoon and ate too many jello shots to go back on the computer last night):

    'weenie and Tink: I LOVE LOVE LOVE Yorkshire pudding, and it goes great with traditional Roast Beef dinners! It's something I miss about living in the USA, where Yorkshire Pudding, like vinegar on french fries, is not part of the culture!

    Michael: I don't remember DeeDee ever sharing information that she'd lost an eye; I wonder if you remember my discussions about my sister, who had one of her eyes removed last winter due to overwhelming eye pain, the product of far too many surgeries to try and save her vision. I'm happy to report that, one year later, the pain is 99% gone and she's basically got her former quality of life back. All I can say is, it's a good thing we're designed with a pair of these sense organs!

    Tina: My Mom, Tampa Granny, and Karen from Canada pray for me, too!

    I love you all!

    ReplyDelete
  46. and its especially hard today...not being able to reach out to Jodi....


    Tinka...I was feeling pretty good about todays blog until the WW of the W flew in....

    ReplyDelete
  47. Jodi, I'm thinking about you and giving you a great big (((HUG))). I hope you can feel it.

    ReplyDelete
  48. yes Robert!!

    Thats great news about your sister....I don't think I talked about it as much as Tina did...she teased me about it a lot...it was all in fun...but it was a little tough at times...just overkill...same as me talking about fabric blends...I am sure she got tired of that...

    Yes I am so thankful for everything I still have 2 of....I don't worry so much about those thing as I do my heart and liver for example....lol

    I am happy for your sister because I know that when you finally reach the end of treatment options and go on and do it....when you recover it is so fantastic to have it all over with and feel good again that you wish you had just done it in the first place....

    Cheers for "TWO'S"....

    ReplyDelete
  49. Tina, When it came to what happened with the kids in college I am FIRM believer of "What I don't know doesn't hurt me or the kid"

    ReplyDelete
  50. Ok guys, lets all calm down and take a deep breath..

    We have been thru so very much these last couple of years, and we have come thru all of them...

    We are certainly a team, even me, with my break, I came back as if I have been in all along, and you all welcomed be back, with open wings, no questions asked, and why cause that is what friends do, and we are friends...

    I am glad that Michael has come out to who he is, perhaps not by choice, but he has and owned up to it. I personally don't feel deceived as I had a feeling all along..as Lynnd said this is the internet world, and these things happen.. so be it..

    Any issues between people should be taken up in a private e-mail, they don't belong here. I will delete any comments I see that don't seem fit...

    We will get thru this we always do..

    ReplyDelete
  51. Michael,

    Why don't you take the DeeDee out of you name, so we can all start anew, there is no reason to keep up your persona, as we all know now..

    Everyone deserves a fresh start, so Michael, just your name will be fine.

    and hopefully the transition will go easy. I have no questions for you as I a am sure there was reason behind the persona, I am in hopes tho, from here in in, Michael will be Michael.. I know you have gotten very attached to many here, so lets get that trust back, and go forward..

    ReplyDelete
  52. Now, for our dear Jodi..

    What a friend she has been to all of us, she is the one to make the call, the one to give up cheers with her spotted cow.. she is truly a wonderful person.. and Heidi, dear Heidi, what a friendship those to have, I am in awe...

    Jodi,

    My heart goes out to at the most difficult time. My thoughts are with you and your family. The bright star in all of the sadness and is your dad is dancing with you mom once again, and spending time with your brother..

    Keep strong, and hold the memories tight in your heart, and they will certainly last a lifetime..

    ReplyDelete
  53. thank you Carol....and Lynn...checks in the mail! lol!!

    honestly Lynn...TY from the bottom of my heart...u r the only one to defend me against Tracys delusions...and I appreciate it more than you know...

    It was like Superwoman flew in here and raised me up again...

    ReplyDelete
  54. CAROL...what a beautiful post to JODI.

    And the true and real friendship between JODI and HEIDI is a testimonial to the friendships that blossomed out of this thing we call the internet.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I had a wonderful Easter, it started off early, as I had to go to get the bread, breakfast at MickeyD's, and good ole DDunkins.. and then on to the preparation, food, dessert.. and so one..

    I am one stuffed bunny.. but it was all delish, and I love my family dearly..

    I did get a bit chocked up, when IS#2 left to go "home", he said to his mom, "we are gong to go home now" she looked at me and I looked at her... and say Oh Boy, he is gong home..

    Things change, Time moves on, Live continues..

    and so very fast..

    ReplyDelete
  56. Michael,

    People get angry and let things out out of angry, whether right or wrong, we must let it go.. now I still see the Deedee...

  76. Carol, I loved hearing about your Easter. I got all nostalgic reading about it. I bet you had Italian cheesecake. My mother always made that for Easter and I haven't had it since she has been gone.

  77. I am going to the wedding reception for the Royal couple. I am soooo excited. No I am not going to London. A friend of mine is having a reception and we are all going to watch it at her house. We are getting all dressed up and she is making wedding reception fare including a wedding cake and we will all watch it on the telly. It will be soooo much fun, even if it does start at 1am. I will definitely be taking a nap earlier that day.

    ReplyDelete
  78. SacBarb That sounds like a lot of fun. I am supposed to watch it with a couple of friends, too, but we are going to be dressed comfy and just have snacks and probably champagne. No wedding cake.

    ReplyDelete
  79. MICHAEL - Thank you. I have always enjoyed you...and your tales ;) I hope we can start anew....Hi..my name is JODI.

  82. HEIDI....from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU ♥ You have truly become my sister, and for that I am thankful. You took the time to hold me on Saturday....and the Spotted Cow was definitely appreciated. I'm glad you got to meet my Dad...I know he is thankful that I have you in my life. My conversation with Inge yesterday morning was priceless ♥
