Happy Easter! Again! :) This time of year I am reminded of when the Russian and I first met. I came to Springfield, and it happened to be Orthodox Easter. Mama K had a HUGE dinner for all of their family and friends, there was so much food! She kept coming around with bowls of more stuff, and asking me if I wanted some. I learned quickly to just shake my head, because that would result in just one spoonful being plopped on my plate...otherwise you'd end up with a giant pile of whatever it was. She's a good Russian mama :)
We had a great day today. Carl and I assisted some other Helping Hands folk and moved a family in our church from one side of town to the middle. 2 20' U-Hauls and many sore muscles later, we were done. We had 7 helpers from church show up, and it went much faster (and easier!) than I had thought it would. Praise God we had no injuries and I think everyone had a good time helping someone else. It's a nice feeling knowing that tonight someone is going to sleep in a new house for the first time (with a dry basement). :) Now I just hope and pray we can all move tomorrow.
Tomorrow will once again bring a huge dinner at Carl's parents, complete with lamb and ham and every imaginable side dish (can you tell I'm hungry?). I'm planning on going to early church and then heading over to help Mama K get ready for everyone. If there's a problem with the message board it'll have to wait until we get home tomorrow evening, but I don't anticipate anything going wrong, then again, I never do ;)
I did see Jane's performing at the NME awards, I thought they all looked fabulous and sober, and if Stephen Perkins wasn't the happiest guy on the planet at the moment they received their award, I don't know who was. He looked positively giddy! Anyway, I think it was fairly obvious to anyone who watched that the magic is still there. I really, REALLY hope they can stand each other long enough to at least put together a set for Lolla. I was listening to Ethel yesterday and I think it was Kane who said that he'd be surprised if that doesn't happen. I'm just trying not to get my hopes into the stratosphere.
That is all, I'm still trying to decide if I want to go to midnight church tonight. The Russian is working, so I'm on my own. Do I go, knowing I won't get home until 4, knowing I have to get up at 7 to be at our church at 8?
