You know you live in New York when...

You call to have a $5 appetizer delivered because it's raining out...and they do it! Yes today I did this. I brought a salad for my lunch, a substantial one, but it left me still hungry. And I was craving this potato garlic dip with pita from Uncle Nick's that Natascha got last week. So I called, and they have no minimum delivery charge. I get my bread and dip and I don't have to go out in the rain. Lazy? Maybe. Would you consider it? Probably. Worth it? Definitely.

Easter Monday

Wow, time is still flying by. I can't believe Easter was this weekend. We had our own personal Easter Bunny visit by the name of Theodore Monkey. Thanks Mom for the candy. And we had some pretty eggs that we decorated.

I made cupcakes for church last night. I tried a new recipe from Martha. Thank you Michelle for turning me on to marthastewart.com (http://www.marthastewart.com - search Billy's Vanilly Cupcakes) This particular recipe is from Billy's Bakery. (A very good cupcake maker that Shannon just got us cupcakes from last week.) I was excited to try a semi-famous recipe, and it seemed to work well.

The last two weeks at work have been busy with testing and report writing. The schedule is still changing constantly, but we are starting to get the hang of begin flexible. This morning we went to a preschool for a viewing / training session for our intern and a freelancer. This was an easy morning for me because I got to sit back and watch...and chase the kids who kept trying to escape and leave the room...and stop the kids who were trying to play with the toys...and keep them out of our stuff (purses, equipment, etc...) so on second thought, it's still a lot of work. They sure were cute though. Next time I need to remember that 8 three-year0old boys is never a good idea, even when there are three adults.
I am also in training myself, because when Natascha goes on maternity leave next month I'm going to have to take over drafting the reports and giving research notes on animatics. Exciting and terrifying at the same time.

That's it for now. Some pictures soon. I have been painting and decorating (Rob's apartment) like crazy.
