1-800-Got-Junk is expensive. $165 just to get them to the door (at least here). They don't reduce the price based on whether something can be resold or recycled, that's just to reassure the customer that everything is not just going to the landfill. But they are fast and easily available.

Happy Easter, peeps!

I've used 1-800-GOT-JUNK a couple times when I had big things to dispose of that I couldn't sell or just couldn't deal with. Kind of expensive, but worth it. Make a phone call and it's gone.

I used to do Easter baskets for the whole family, even after the kids were teenagers, and then including their current gfs (little token baskets, a bunny, some jellybeans, etc.). When my dad was diagnosed diabetic, I put him together a basket with pretty carrots with the tops on, celery sticks in ziplock bags to stay fresh, boxes of raisins (oy, what I didn't know then about sugar!) and white grapes as "jellybeans."

What I've found for me is white grapes skyrocket my blood sugar *worse* than eating sugar cubes out of hand. I don't know if it's the same for anybody else, including Dad, but they're absolutely the *worst* thing I can eat. He seemed appreciative of the effort, but never appeared to care very much, and the kids moved out, so, no more baskets.

I skipped church, that was planned - I needed one day to sleep in after getting up before my normal up time the last three days. Met the parents for brunch at a very night new place.

Now I am home and I really need to start in on work, but I just want to nap.

I made a pot of decaf coffee so maybe drinking that will jumpstart my brain into thinking it should be awake. Maybe should turn on the tv too, I won't work as fast, but it will keep me awake.

Both of my parents are worried out of their minds about mac. "What is he going to do after graduation?" And I have no answer for them. Literally no idea what he is going to do. It's like a race to the nervous breakdown. Will it be me or him?

Timelies all!

We made eggplant matza lasagna for dinner. Came out well.

Mr. S has been terrible all weekend. Dunno if its because of my folks being here, his slightly messed up sleep schedule (he has gone to bed later than normal the last few days. ) or what, but it has been a trial dealing with him.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate, and chag sameach to those who celebrate.

I am contemplating roasting peeps over an outdoor firepit, so that's probably a separate post.

Toasted peeps sound very good to me right now!

I went to visit my cousins who have an infant in the children's hospital right now. They took off the day from going to Miami to visit so they could spend some time with their 4 little ones at home. They are just exhausted. It is a long haul for them to Miami. Baby is doing better but she will still be there a while.

Their 3 year old spent about 20 minutes gently brushing my hair, then her 5 year old sister decided she was going to curl my hair with the brush, and yeah, huge tangled mess. Bobby and Tate tried for about 40 minutes to get the brush out without success, so I ended up driving to my SIL's about an hour away because I knew she could do it. And she did! She put some coconut oil around the tangled mess and somehow worked her magic. So, still have long hair.

Did you do it? How did it turn out? (I keep thinking the sugar crystals would burn too quickly.)

I am SO FULL, you guys. We had a nice few family members over -- two aunts and one cousin+husband+daughter, but crikey. I should have stopped eating after the two cheese appetizers.

Honestly, the basement is so full of crap that I'm happy to throw money at the problem to make it go away.
