Bah humbug...

Man, I just checked the site to make sure everything posted properly from yesterday and quite frankly it makes you feel for the poor, mopey, little boy. If I didn't live with him and know his personality and I was just passing by, after looking at the Easter post I'd have to say, "Someone give that poor boy a big hug and something sweet to eat!"

So today is Good Friday, the end of Lent. I hope all of you out there did better than I did. In fact, I'd have to say Satan really had a hold this year, but in the last couple of weeks I kicked him off and found my strength and dedication again and have been completely disciplined and going strong.

Fen is down for a nap now after a big morning visiting YiaYia and then running around with WaiWai and me. I'm about to go start trying to make the Tsouréki (Greek Sweet Bread for Easter) and see if I can't get the red resurrection eggs (another Greek tradition) finished while the bread is rising (yep it involves yeast and lots of time). I figure now that we have a kiddo, we need to step up some of the traditions. Fen is only 1/8 Greek now, but I grew up with those Greek family gatherings and I want him to have a feel for some of it. And after all, we still have full blood Greeks around with WaiWai and cousin Marie...and my mom (Fen's Granmama), while only half Greek, is very much as Greek as they come. This year, just bread and eggs, but maybe next year I'll plan early enough to have Easter at our house with ham, and lamb, cheeses, salads, and lots of olives, of course!!! Kalamata olives are THE BEST! So...Kaló Pás'ha everyone! (Happy Greek Easter).
