This morning I sorted my laundry only to realize, "Holy crap, I have no clean clothes and I will be doing laundry all day." The nice thing about laundry is that I'm doing it right now. RIGHT NOW. I can blog while my clothes get clean. And then I can fold them while I watch TV. And I can clean the bathroom or get rid of those leaves outside that are probably really ticking off my neighbor while the next load gets clean. Oh, most importantly, I can drink my coffee while I do my laundry.
Last weekend was Easter weekend. Now, I'm not much of a church-goer these days and Easter kind of snuck up on me. Candidates and coworkers kept talking about the holiday. Everyone was on PTO last Friday and Monday. Huh? Oh, right. Easter! Always the joiner, (never the rebel or difficult one don't cha know,) I made the weekend a holiday and went to visit my parents. We had a lovely weekend of chatting, shopping, and dinner out with some friends.
Friday night I drove up to Blacksburg and met Mom and Dad after they went to Good Friday church. They were dressed somberly in black for the occasion but I couldn't help and chuckle at Dad's "dress Carhartts." I think it made me laugh because when I was in high school I insisted my black, zipper sweatshirt from Old Navy was dressy enough for church. Years later I saw pictures of myself in my "dress sweatshirt" and cringed. (AJEM, you were right ok??) The dress Carhartts don't make me cringe, they make me smile!
You know I have been educated well when I get excited about the presence of an AED. This was also at the mall and I was impressed to see it there. (They save lives people. Don't be afraid to use one, just don't forget to "clear!") 
At the mall in Christiansburg there is a huge mural with animals and sporting goods painted on the wall. I don't really understand it but insisted on taking pictures. Here is Mom with a buffalo (and a basketball? Wha?)
Dad being attacked by a bear. It was a wild weekend.
Now this I just took a picture of because I didn't understand it and frankly, I was a little frightened.
Um, we went to Dairy Queen ok? It was a special family outing. You can tell by the sign that it is indeed Easter weekend. I snapped a photo because I was surprised to see this on a Dairy Queen sign. What happened to the separation of church and ice cream?
This is horribly inappropriate...but I took a picture of it anyway...because it made me chuckle. I know this is shocking, but a teenager was driving this car.
I bought some birthday whiskey for a friend and the bottle was so dang pretty I had to take a picture.
Post church. Oh we're so cute.
