    rwbeagles-Apparently Easter is THIS WEEKEND

    I had no idea...none at all. I totally 100% thought it was the last weekend in March. So now I have to scramble to gather stuff for the kids baskets...*sigh*...followed by *pfft*

     And I need to go get me more Peeps, Peanut Butter Eggs and a Palmer Chocolate Bunny.  And maybe one more cream egg.  :D

    I heard somewhere (tv news maybe?) that Easter hasn't been this early in something like 92 years and it won't be this early again for another 207 years.  Something like that anyway!!

    Here is some trivia for you:  Easter is always on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of Spring.  Tomorrow the moon is full and today is the first day of Spring.

    I learned that in the 5th grade and have faithfully checked that every year since and it is true.  And it's been 30 years since I was in the 5th grade.

    Little more trivia:  The earliest day Easter could ever be is March 22nd.

    I am still trying to get over Saint Paddy's Day! LOL....big drinking holiday immediately followed by a big religious one seems wrong, somehow...

    I am always trying to figure out what holiday falls on what day....lol....also, I think it's a serious sign of getting older when holidays are getting closer in one's mind and are blending in together.....lol......I am buying candy today.........Stick out tongue

     Gina, the big St. Paddy's parade in Savannah had to be held last week because they are not allowed to have it during Holy Week.

    Easter crept up on my too quickly too. With the time changing earlier and now Easter also earlier than usual, I'm all out of sorts. It's not easy adjusting to these changes when you get older Tongue Tied

    I just got an Easter trivia email from a friend. The next time Easter will be this early (3/23) will be the year 2228. The next time it will be 3/22 (earliest date possible) will be 2285.

    I knew about the first Sunday, after the first full moon... When I told my boss she looked at me like I am a idiot because she never heard such a thing. Yet she will argue with me on something I am currently looking at on the internet.

     Uh.... because if its on the internet it MUST be true....

    LOL

    I need a Peanut Butter Eggy.....I don't do a whole lot of Easter stuff for Easter.  We hide some milk chocolate eggs, the kids each get a hollow chocolate character, then the rest of the stuff is normal spring/summer things.  Kale is getting some Crocs, a couple gameboy games, and a few other little gifts.  Kali is getting a few sundresses, some watersocks, and a Dora doll.  Oh and they are both getting a bunch of pool toys.

     LOL, I meant not a whole lot of Easter Themed stuff.  You know, the section right beside the tills in Wally?

    Actually, you don't have to worry about Easter Bunny stuff.  My old basenji killed the EB years ago.  Haven't had Easter around here since.
