Ha ha! See you CAN do it all. It's just that when you don't have to, why would you?
ReplyDeleteI think if you stop trying to "kill" the eggs, you'll enjoy it more. We "dye" eggs, which means to color or stain--not "die" which means to cease to live.
No Linda.... I meant to spell die.... because I'd rather die them than dye them. I was testing your administrative skills.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hate to tell you this--but there is ao much more to learn and do as a single woman! Just wait----juuuuuust wait!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing the differences we learn in different circumstances. Each certainly teaches us alot about ourselves. And I'm with you all the way about dying Easter Eggs, although this year was the funnest it's been for me in a long time. Keep smiling gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanx Heidi!
ReplyDeleteLynn... You mean there's more shit to do? What's next? Hedging and mowing> Oh wait that's why I live in an apartment.
It sounds like you are doing pretty well!
