Pagan chocolate bunnies

Easter was here last weekend. Since I’ve never really celebrated Easter I was unsure as to how the Easter bunny works. I texted my brother Easter morning to ask him if the bunny left my basket at his home. His answer was no, waa waa. I asked George (my lovah) if he was going to his moms to pick up my basket… his answer was no! I went over to my parents house and asked if the damn bunny had dropped my basket off there… their reply was no.  What the hell? Where was my basket? After much thought on this subject I decided to ask George where this “Easter bunny” came from. He did not know, after thinking about how an Easter bunny has nothing to do with Jesus or his resurrection I came to the conclusion that the Easter bunny must be some sort of pagan kind of tradition…. So I’ve got to buy my own solid chocolate covered bunny… the day after Easter!!!! I went to target got my bunny at 50% off and ate him up!!!! Mmmmm… so that’s what Easter tastes like, except of course better because of the 50% off. Anyway this whole bunny ordeal has me thinking a lot about whether people should really be celebrating about a bunny, or teaching their kids about the real meaning of Easter. Sigh…. I’ll be getting chocolate wasted over this matter for a while…. It’s not easy being a solid chocolate bunny lovah.
I've no idea how he got this way...

What!? I was just whispering sweet nothings into his ear...

Yummy in my Tummy

This past weekend was my 4 yr anniversary, with my boyfriend (where's my ring!?), and we decided to try the restaurant Fogo de Chao. At first I was skeptical, considering it costs $50/per person not including drinks. Thoughts in my head included but not limited to: couldn't you just buy me a ring for this price (+ a few more hundred $$), we could buy a ton of groceries with this money and eat for like a whole week, and also do I really want you to pay $100 to have some pretentious waiters try to rush us through our dinner? In the end we decided to try it and I was very glad to do so. Not only were the waiters unpretentious but the food was really yummy. It was very surprising to me that i would enjoy so much meat.( Forgot to mention this restaurant is a Brazilian steak house where they feed you meat till you get a heart attack) Usually I eat very little meat, but was very surprised at how elated I was every time one of those waiters passed by with a new spear of meat! When we were all done they offered us dessert, which we said ok to cause frankly once you've eaten that much a little more cant possibly hurt. As it turns out, we got our dessert for free cause it was our anniversary!!! So with our tummies full, and our hearts happy we merrily rode off into the highway and on to our happy home. This was one time it was easy being Dora, except it wasn't so  easy to waddle over to the car.
