Bleh!
I made the Easter baskets tonight and now I feel like a stuffed pig. It’s really my first nibbles at the Easter Candy. Thankfully I only bought one bag of jelly beans (which I don’t even like) and one bag of chocolate eggs. That’s it.  The rest of the basket [...]

Said in the voice of one of my favorite movies of all time Office Space. (For some reason when I said it to myself I couldn’t get this scene out of my head)
