Stock up! The End is Near!

When I opened the paper today there was an ad in there to "Stock up for Easter". I didn't realize this was a holiday that we needed to stock up for. What would you stock up with, besides eggs, for Easter? The main focus of the ad was wine. So you should stock up on Alcohol for Easter? Which I get, I guess, if you spend a lot of time with extended family for Easter. Most people *I* know head to church on Easter - even if it's one of the two days a year they go to church. Dunno if taking a bottle of wine into the sanctuary is something I'd recommend. Go on - someone is going to make the "Water to Wine" comment, I'm sure of it.

Oh - that reminds me - we're not Catholic. Well, I mean, I KNEW that we weren't catholic but it's important to this story that I was reminded of by "Water to Wine". So sis went to serve lunch at church with a friend of hers. While she was eating and chatting with one of the elderly ladies, she ended up wearing half the ladies lunch because she just kept talking and spitting her food all over. And my daughter - ugh - she says, "I think I need to go wash my face in Holy Water." to the dad of this friend she went with. HORROR! Insolent, disrespectful child. I have no idea where she gets it.

So, stock up on Alcohol for Easter to celebrate the resurrection of Christ while eating Deviled Eggs then wash your face in Holy Water.

I might actually enjoy church if I could sip on some vino during the service. I find it a little too boring to just sit there.

I do, however, love deviled eggs :)

I'm sure there are plenty of Catholics out there who gave up alcohol for Lent and plan to drink the hell out of it come Easter Sunday.

There's a billboard in my town that says the end of the world is May 21. (rolls eyes) So stock up on wine for Easter, and get blasted every night until May 21. I'm kinda hoping it is on May 21. My 50th birthday is the 22. I'm not thrilled to turn 50.
