Easysticks – by Annie Jo Cain

As per usual, I’ve selected a number of pictures featuring me, me & me.  And some other people.

Take a look at many, many more pictures

Katie and I strategize for the big day.

Looking our best.

Brother, mom and me preparing for our entrance.

Cousin Nate plays a tune.

Moms and champagne.

Chatting it up with Katie’s mom.

Hugs from Oliver!

Eating sliders with Evan and Lana.

Eating cake.

Mom gives the whole thing a thumbs up. Marika and Chelsey heartily agree.

Many, many more pictures.

Before heading into the zoo, sandwiches!

First up were some zebras.

Followed by elephants.

They hadn’t had their lunch yet.

UPDATE – Mom asks and she receives. Supposedly her favorite animal, I present the giraffe. Who knew they could bend down like that?

While we wait for the real deal photos, here’s just a little taste of the big day.

Making my entrance.

Me and Katie during the ceremony.

My dear mom and me, having a laugh.

Ben and Oliver take care of throwing rocks into the lake.

Katie and I enjoy some cake. I was stuffed by the end of the night.

Thanks to those whose photos I nabbed. More to come!

Cayman. Loved it.

Katie loved it too.

Sunset sail (thanks Hadley!).

We sat on the cargo net.

They’re so cute, I think we’ll find room for them all.

Thanks Ben, Marika and Oliver! See you soon!

I just finished season one of Spartacus: Blood and Sand. If you can stomach loads of blood and guts and all things unsettling, I highly recommend watching this bad boy.  Plus, it’s streaming on Netflix right now.  So no excuses.  Watch it.

I would not, however, watch it on an airplane.  I was too hooked to put it away, but the embarrassment factor was high.

If you have a Wii, make sure you get your free instant streaming disc so you can watch on your TV.

Corn pancakes and a Cadbury egg for breakfast. A little yellow chicken on the loose. Easter Sunday!

Well, okay, she’s just a baby. She can’t just drive over and ring the doorbell herself. So I guess I should say Alayne and Jason swung by for a visit with their baby. Katie jiggled her around a little.

Then I jiggled her around a little.

Myth or urban legend or whatever, a highly unscientific experiment proved that it is definitely easier to balance an egg on the spring equinox. Yesterday, the egg wouldn’t balance. Today, here ya go.

Coincidence? Luck? Either way, it has been an absolutely fantastic sunshiny day today.  Thank you spring!

Sunshine! (relative) Warmth! I know this could all be an evil trick, a little teaser before a giant March blizzard, but I don’t care. It’s sunny and warm and I gotta say I am really into it.

I saw loads of people along the river, squinting like bears coming out of hibernation. Pale faces exposed to the sun. Anybody doing anything exciting on a sunny Sunday?
