Good Friday. I always thought that was kind of redundant - aren't all Fridays good? I suppose this one would be better if I had the day off, or even half the day off, but no! My (Catholic) employer doesn't recognize Good Friday for it's employees, but every single one of the "family" took today off.
This is actually kind of a funny story. My employer has a policy stating that sick time can only be taken in 4-hour increments and vacation can only be taken in 8-hour increments. Well, two years ago some YAHOO decided to complain that the only way they could take the entire day of Good Friday off was to take a full vacation day and that wasn't fair because everyone got paid for the half-day holiday. Can you see where this is going? That's right! My employer decided to make the day a full working day so that no one would "lose" a half-day vacation if they took it off. *grumble*

I've had an extra teen in my house most of this week (spring break). Cam's girlfriend - who lives about 50 miles from us - is visiting. She's splitting her time between our house and her cousin's (one of Cam's friends) house. I must say I think it's a bit odd that she spent her birthday (Wednesday) and will be spending Easter with us. I just can't imagine shipping my kid off - voluntarily - for their birthday and for a major holiday.
Not to worry, I made cupcakes (with candles) for her birthday and picked up an extra Easter basket for her ... but still ...

I'm going to be guest blogging over at
You Just Keep On Believing That on Tuesday. Doc is going on vacation and recruited a handful of us to
try to boost his stats entertain his readers while he is on vacation. I'll admit - I'm a wee bit nervous. The bar gets raised a bit when your words find their way to another blogger's home.

It was a mediocre week over at my
Project 365 blog. I think I underestimated the commitment of a picture a day when I took that on. I'm a quarter of the way through the year and I feel like my photos should be getting better but instead I find they are ... mehhhh ...
*shrugs* Oh well, I guess I should take some pride in the fact that I have held true to posting a picture a day, right??
