Why is it that long weekend always go by so quickly? I had a good time though. On Thursday evening, I went to Red Lobster with my mom for LobsterFest. It was soooo good! I had a meal that had 2 different types of shrimp, crab legs, and lobster. Yum!!!
On Friday was the family Easter dinner thingy at my house. It went pretty well. (I’m always a little worried about how my grandmother will act). But, she behaved herself pretty well, which was good. There was one part where she was asking Carlos a lot of questions and putting him on the spot, and my brother’s girlfriend leaned over to him and said “Welcome to the family”. I guess she has been put on the spot by Oma before.
Saturday, I went shopping for a bit with my mom and then I headed out to Carlos’ place. It was funny, when I was going to leave, this is the conversation I had with my mom.
Me: Well, I’m off. Wish me luck meeting Carlos’ father.
Mom: But I thought that was tomorrow.
Me: It is.
Mom: And you’re going to Carlos’ now? When will you be back?
Me: I’ll be back tomorrow evening.
Mom: Where are you staying tonight?
Me: At Carlos’.
Mom: Oh really? (with that look on her face).
Me: Yup. Well, see ya later!
I got in my car and I just had to laugh. I’m 25 years old, so it’s not like she could forbid me from staying at his place or anything, but I don’t think she was too happy about it. Little does she know that when I move to my house Carlos will likely be staying over quite frequently. Hah! And there is nothing she can do about it!
Yesterday was the family dinner at Carlos’ place. I had met his mom before, but it was the first time I met his dad and sister. It went well, I think they liked me. I brought a dessert that I had made and when his sister tried some she said “Wow, this is really good. She can bake; she’s a keeper!”. I said “that’s a short list of criteria!”. I think his family really liked me, so I was happy about that. They are really nice people.
On my way home on Sunday, I stopped by a friend of mine’s for a little visit. She lives in Toronto, but was at her parent’s place for the weekend, so I got to spend some time there hanging out. I hadn’t seen her since January, so it was nice to see her again. I got home around 10pm last night, so it was a busy weekend! But very good.
And back to work today. It’s a ghost-town around the office, I guess a lot of people took today off. I would have, except that I am taking 2 weeks off coming up, so I figured I would work today and take advantage of the quiet office.
Happy Easter Monday everyone!

LOL, that's a funny conversation. I just kept thinking after I read it, "Big Gulps eh? Well, see you later!" ;)
I had a similar convo with my mom about blogs. I told her that I was able to keep up with you guys by reading your online journals, and she says "They write about their dates and stuff?"
Me: "Yeah, its only us that read them and no one mentions any names or anything..."
Mom (rolls eyes): "You don't write about that kind of thing do you?!"
Me: "Of course not." ;)
Mom: "What *do* you write about then?"
Me: "Oh just funny stuff that happens to me... or jokes..." (trying to think of other things people blog about...)
Mom: "Oh. I just don't get this "Blogging" thing..."
No kidding.
