So hey, tomorrow is Easter - and if you celebrate, have a good one!

Easter is one of those odd holidays for the wife and me - not really enough time to travel home, but there's also not a whole lot going on at our apartment either (and stuff is closed etc). But we're going to go ahead and cook up a ham, along with some asparagus, beans, and mashed sweet potatoes to go with it. So it should be all right.

Today, we did some work, hit up Trader Joe's, and saw Meet the Robinsons. What can I say - I totally wanted to check out the digital 3D. And it was totally sweet. The movie was actually really cute too.

In other good news, I chatted with my mom last night, which was a huge relief. Earlier in the week, we had this chat and I clearly pissed her off/upset her. It was over a thing that was kinda important, but probably got blown out of proportion. I'm not sure I was wrong exactly, but I may have been out of line. Since then, I was both angry and, because I'm notoriously bad at conflict, I was guilty and anxious about what would happen next. Anymore, if she's mad at me, she'll often send me an email to set me straight. But she didn't, and I didn't know if that meant we were cool or not. I was then afraid to send a "confrontation" email then, for fear of stirring up the pot. I was also afraid to send a "regular" email in case she reacted badly to that, like I was just ignoring the situation.

But we talked Friday night, and it started off awkward, but the fight never came up and we had a nice chat and there's been no word since ... So I think we're good.

I love my mother dearly. But she's a tough lady - real passionate, plenty stubborn, filled with opinions & never afraid to voice them, kinda bossy, totally giving, smart as a whip, and a natural worrier. She's a hard worker, and a total character - an all around good lady who has nursed a grudge or two in her day. But its this kind of combo leads to all kinds of great experiences, but more than a few conflicts, tensions, and others frictions. And, like I said, I'm bad at conflict - both wanting to avoid it but then maybe getting it a bit to into it once it starts .... So yeah, on occasion we throw down, I get angry, then feel bad, then worry about fixing it. It's a terrible vicious cycle. But I think we're good now.

Enjoy the long weekend if you get it. Me? I'm swamped with courses, writing, and a conference next weekend (luckily, it's local).

Indeed. Or as I say, I drink the KoolAid.

That reminds me of a certain webcomic featuring zombies and vampires.
