I can't believe its evening, I just woke up from a nap!! I never sleep during the day.
Our kids had their boyfriend or girlfriend over and the boyfriends dad came too.

we had shrimp, bacon onion tarts, and asparagus phyllo wraps
prime rib, ham, yeast rolls, potatoes & gravy, creamed corn, salad, fresh fruit, sauteed mushrooms, homemade lemon cake with raspberry coulis and coconut cake
This morning I went to the garage fridge to get the blue cheese so I could make the salad dressing , the cat ran out and I went to scoop him up lost my balance cracked my head on my husbands car and hit my whole left side on the concrete. Think tomorrow I may not be able to get out of bed. My husband said he heard me shreik, and came out as I was getting up. with cat clutched in my hand.


Oh my!!! I did you hit your head hard?? It might be why you slept, you shouldn't sleep after any head truama. Please take it easy.
 
We have had such a busy weekend - all of the foods we ate were ones I was able to make ahead.For breakfast - Homemade Cinnamon Rolls that were in the refrigerator over night - got up at 4:30 (:eek:) to pull them out, so they could finish rising and go in the oven.Lunch - Breakfast Casserole & Fruit Salad w/ Apricot Nectar dressing.Snack - Eclair Dessert :chef: yummy!Supper - Pickled Eggs & leftover fruit salad
 
HMMMM, never thought of that . I was very sleepy in church and DH kept elbowing me. I just thought it was from baking & get everything else ready all day yesterday.
 
Went to brunch after church with kids and grand kid.

Very disappointing. First, let me say, that generally, I hate buffets. To many choices, to much room for pigging out, and coming from a food service history, I always question quality and safety. That being said, this was a very nice restaurant who obviously should not do brunch. Nothing was warm enough, ceasar salad was way over dressed and the other salads swimming in dressing, the only reason the eggs benedict was ok was that I was there when they brought out a fresh hotel pan from the kitchen, pasta dishes lukewarm and gummy, and don't even start me on desserts. How can you do Easter without lemon something and some fruit????

This was not a cheap brunch ($22.95/person) and should have been done better. Gratuity of 18% was included and all she brought us were the overpriced drinks and coffee, and not too quickly for that.

Had it just been John and me, I would have spoken to mgr. I am writing a note later tonight.

Besides that, it was great spending time with family. Came home, took a nap and I think popcorn is on the menu for dinner!

Everyone.. Happy Easter.

I thought that's why you slept so much, today. I think it's okay to sleep. A nurse I know (mil of ds) said it's fine to sleep. You may be extra crabby and tired, so give your family a warning.
 
Jae I'm just worried that Teresa has a concussion and she will need to be watched. If a concussion is bad enough then the person shouldn't fall asleep. If there is no blood in the ears or nose bleeds then it should be ok to snooze.
 
guess the 3 nurses in Sunday school would have noticed my eyes today if
I'd hyad a concussion since we only had a social hour,
I think I'm just overly tired
1 is a trauma nurse for care flite and she's always "diagnosing" us twice she's told new moms to be they were pregnant before they even "suspected" she is like my grandmother she could always see it in their eyes.....
 
PC hot pizza dip for lunch while dinner cooked.

Cathy - Richmond, Virginia? If so, you were right up the road from me :)[/ot]
 
We were on the road yesterday after a Lads to Leaders Convention.

No breakfast...shame on us.
Taco Bell lunch
Dominos dinner
 
My sister hosted, we had Smoked Ham, sweet potato casserole, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, asparagus, carrots. Dessert was on me, I made brownies, fruit salad and the strawberry creme trifle from the s/s sb! (thanks to all who recommended it!) I had a very "Martha" moment!!
 
I made Ham, raisin gravy, mashed potatoes with sour cream, Hawaiin Salad, carrots and rolls. I was going to try the Pina Colada Upside down cake, but did not find the coconut milk. Then I thought about just using the pineapple cake mix, and then thought, it would only be my mother and I eating the cake, and got lazy and had no dessert!
