How I spent my spring break, by Phats

Sadly spring break is over and it's back to work for yours truly tomorrow, BOO!! Why is it this week always goes so fast. When I was in HS I was always happy to go back, because it meant the end of school was nearing. Before I go into my spring break plans, did everyone have a nice Easter?

So, for my spring break I had planned on doing as little as possible, sleeping alot, reading, and visiting with my family. I did most of that. My aunt flew in from Georgia, and her Daughter, Son in law, and granddaughter all drove. If you ask me my Aunt got the best of that deal for sure. They were coming to see my Grandma, and since they were here they came to my nephews 4 year birthday party. My nephews are twins, and they turned 4 over spring break. They had their party at a BIG swingset place that rents out for parties. It was fun, I spent most of the night sitting on a swing with my grandma, but of course the kid in me came out and I had to go down one slide. It was funny because I about bit it. I think the twins were on overload from all their gifts, and all the cake they ate. In all I think it was a successful birthday and my sister is probably glad to have it over with for another year.

The first part of the week was spent mostly with my relatives who came into town. We played tons of cards, mostly hearts. I get too greedy in that game though and always feel like I can run them no matter what I have. Not a good strategy. We taught my grandma, and 2nd cousin how to play, my grandma kept confusing it with pinnacle. My grandma is so funny, she is convinced that because the wrapper says 45% less fat that 3 musketeers are good for her. I wish it worked that way. Spring Break also happened to be over my grandma's birthday and she at age 83 demanded a party. I think mostly because this has been a really shitty year for our family, and that was her way of picking things up. So, we had a party for her, with a cake and presents. She got a new dishwasher we all went in on that, and some small things as well. Then the Georgia relatives went home midweek.

I finally got to sleep in, and boy did I! I pretty much was a lazy bum, stayed on the couch watching tv the rest of my break. I had no choice really we got hit with an arctic blast. It has snowed twice this week but nothing that stuck. It's odd because we just had 80 degrees ho hum. On Friday I managed to get off the couch and meet my sister in Noblesville, and we headed to our favorite store, Barnes and Noble, where I proceeded to buy three more books. A Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and James Patterson book. It's been awhile since I read a King book and this one looked like the long walk, which is my favorite. I could probably spend hours in that store, and spend way too much money in there. I am currently reading "kill the messenger" by Tammy Hoag, it's really good. If any of you are into murder mystery check it out.

My break ended today by celebrating Easter with family. My mother, sister, brother in law, and nephews packed up and went to my brother in laws family and had a big feast there. Then we held the little ones captive in the basement while a few adults hid Easter eggs. It was funny we were talking and one of my sister's kids said SHHH the Easter Bunny will hear you, and LEAVE! He was really stressing out about this. After the celebration I came home and watched all my favorite Sunday night TV. I am still pissed that Trump fired Heidi, what an IDIOT. I had a major crush on her.

So, back to work for me tomorrow, and I am not looking forward to it at all. It's always hard to go back after being off for awhile. My tennis team has matches Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs, and Saturday. I am guessing they will get postponed, because the highs are going to be 40 degrees. Possibly play the invite Saturday because it's suppose to be 60, we'll see. WHERE ARE YOU SPRING?!

That's all I got for ya. Jef I am still searching for your reward, it might take awhile but I will find it, or my name isn't Phats.
