Yes, we watch old sporting events (but I don't really like sports so I only watch them in the context of family events where everyone else likes them). To be fair old dad got fairly toasty on beer and wine while I only had four beer in 4.66 hours. I ended up driving everyone the 1.5 miles to my dad's house and his girlfriend's mood was not improved by his toasty state.

Still, it is a holiday so I honestly think people should get a free pass as long as they're safe (with a sober driver, etc...) and it is hard to find a sober Scotsmen.

I got drunk last night and slept in past noon today. Then teh rest of my day was like any other Sunday.

[padlabtard]

Wait, did Oerdin say "tape?"

Did you listen to some 8-tracks, too?

[Cydayshosse]

Yes, I have a DVD player but no I don't have a DVD-R. So VHS it is for taping things.

[Rqqneujr]

Naw I canceled cable because the bastards wanted $100 a month.

Easter is today right?

[PNCarl]

I only got one chocolate egg from a housemate. Only one! I'm the freeking Starchild, everyone I know should have given me chocolate eggs.

I spent all of yesterday playing CIV and didn't see another human all day

Awesome

[tigoCeree]

I celebrated easter mostly alone, so it's pretty much like any other day...

[Anckzxik]

Had they adopted some chickens and easter bunnies?

I have something to say about the "traditional patriarchal" Easter situation. Yesterday I got up at 6:30am to prepare a leg of lamb, I then got ready for church, put the lamb in the oven and went to church. 3 hours later I came home, took the lamb out, and continued cooking for the next hour until the meal was finally ready. Then, after 20 minutes, I got up from the table and cleaned the kitchen (no small task) and proceeded to make a cake. A couple hours later, I took said cake to my parents where my mother had just finished cooking dinner and after dinner I cleaned her kitchen which was 100 times harder than mine.

I freakin' worked all day! Next holiday I am taking a vacation!

In response to the OP, it's no wonder your dad's girlfriend was pissed.

Maybe turn this around a bit.

You have a family that's there with you on Easter. You have a mother and father that you obviously get along with well enough to have dinner and also share Easter.

Not everyone has that Cartimandia. If you don't like it why bother?

Sorry, I didn't really mean to sound so devastated and upset. It really wasn't an awful day at all. I was just very tired at the end of the day.

I did volunteer to do all that work, and yes, my family gets along very well. They did thank me and I wasn't upset about it. Easter is a very special time in my family, and we love getting together. It's one of the only times when we are all together and able to enjoy each other's company. I am lucky to be a good cook, so a lot is expected from me at our get togethers, but I enjoy it.

Plus, I had a solid milk chocolate Cadbury bunny to gnaw on. I ate it's tail first.

[parishilton]

My family usually got along well this was the first time I saw him and his new girlfriend get into a fight.
