he bring of the chocolate

i completely forgot to mention that the rabbit of easter came by last weekend. he brought of the chocolate and the jelly beans, and he also brought a little cactus, and then he stayed awake all night worrying that it was a terrible idea to leave a cactus on the floor, and imagining isaac waking up and stepping on it in his bare feet.*

he also brought a handsome old-fashioned wax mustache.

*he didn't.

happy easter, scaredy cats!

for more easter fun, go here (thanks, david!).

speaking of david, i've told you the story of the time the easter bunny pinched my brother's butt, right?

the way it's done

this is how easter goes, chez moi. first of all, the easter bunny changes into his white jeans in honor of spring.

























candy, silly putty eggs, and arabica gift cards on pretty liberty of london for target plates. so they're kind of 'easter plates,' rather than easter baskets.
























after a candy breakfast, bean, m, and i went to willard beach with a very happy dog.
























.m finally found a sand dollar, as well as nicely shaped shards of pottery.
























in the afternoon, i hiked on the cliff walk with m and the dancer.
























i went sockless.
























happy springtime from me and my rabbit friend!

easter, cont.

fueled by bags and bags of candy and chocolate, a big plate of rice and beans, a thrilling game of monopoly, and the presence of our friend enoch, boo put on this huge coat and staggered around like a blind zombie for about half an hour last night.

happy eastery-springtime to you! i was just thinking of some things i like about easter, and i thought i'd share them with you.

1) swedish fish.

2) zombie-themed graphic novels. a tradition in our household, but why? if you think about it long enough, it starts to make perfect sense.

3) even though every year i NEED to buy something at the grocery store, which is mystifyingly closed on easter sunday, i still love driving around town and seeing so many empty parking lots and not-open places of business. i love that about thanksgiving, too.

4) i bought some coffee beans from starbucks (that's what i NEEDED, otherwise how would monday morning ever happen?). i know, i know - but they were open. and everyone working there was so incredibly cheerful ("time and a half?" suggested m) it made me even happier to be alive.

5) spring sunshine, although it was deceptive. the wind on the beach was bone chilling.

6) a big pot of rice and beans for dinner, and the company of our friend enoch.
