I am just not a social person. My parents had an Easter picnic and egg hunt today, and we went up there for that. It was kind of stressful, but fun, I guess. I was hiding eggs with my two closest-in-age female cousins (two and four years older than me) when I stopped and said, "When did WE have to stop hunting and start HIDING the stupid things anyway?" Easter is just not that much fun anymore.. it's rather my least favorite holiday. And of course, I said that earlier and my mom gave me the Look and said, "you mean, least favorite in the way that people celebrate it, not the reason for the holiday?" So, yes. If I need to clarify, consider it done.

I could write a whole lot just about that sentence, but I am so lacking the energy for it.

My cousin is moving to North Carolina on Monday with her boyfriend and her baby, who's five months old. :( I really hate thinking that the next time I see the baby, he'll be not-so-much a baby anymore. I didn't say that to the cousin, though, because everyone seems to be giving her a really rough time about leaving, and I don't think it's fair. (Which isn't to say that I think she should go, but it's not like public opinion is gonna change her mind at this point!) I get a hard time from the family about my move less than a hundred miles away, and we have the potential to move a whole heck of a lot farther from them than Rae is going. It sucks, anyway. We'll miss them.

I wanna hunt for easter eggs too! Course at least you have someone nearby who would actually set one up for you if you asked nicely, I have no doubt :)

I will hide eggs for you if we're ever together at easter! I made M's best friend participate in the Easter egg thing last time he was here. He thought I was crazy when I started boiling the eggs, but I think they both had a lot of fun in the end.

No, no, no, the eggs you hide are real eggs that have been colored, or possibly plastic ones that may have candy or money inside. :) At least, that's the way it is around here! :) I will hide chocolate eggs for you, though, I guess!

Why are they moving to NC? And..what part? Mountain, Central, or Coastal?

Coastal, I imagine, since she has taken great joy in letting us know that she will be two miles from the beach. UGH! :) And they're moving because the boyfriend's dad moved down there and he has a job waiting for him.

Hmm. What area? Wilmington, Jacksonville (I'd be seriously shocked if they were coming here), umm what else is that close to the ocean that's a sizeable town for a place to live? LOL. New Bern, Havelock, Topsail? Just weird to hear of someone from home moving here...voluntarily. The ocean here is icky, it's brown and is full of sharks, even little ones that swim within feet of the shoreline. I don't get in the water much, but I enjoy the sand. We're about 15 miles inland, takes about 20 minutes to get to the nearest beach because you have to go either on base or around the bases. I'm looking forward to the blue water in Japan, but I hear there is a lot of coral there, so it's probably not that great to swim in, either. At least you'd be able to see what you were up against!! I don't think I'd want to live within 2 miles of the ocean, hurricanes here and all; 15 miles in is pretty good, we don't usually get too much from them unless we get a direct hit, which isn't often.
