It's that time of the year again

I went to the store on Monday to get groceries. You'd think the Valentine Candy aisle would still look like a hurricane came through from all the last minute shoppers trying to get the best deal before Valentine's Day is over. Not so, actually the opposite. The Valentine aisle (now Easter aisle) was the neatest aisle in the whole store and jam packed with yummy little bunnies, chocolate eggs, jelly beans, and a whole variety of cavity inducing indulgences that would put Willy Wonka's factory to shame. Anyone ever think it funny that the second one holiday is over the aisles magically changes to the next upcoming holiday?

Well, I happen to love Easter for many reasons. One is, obviously, the reason we celebrate it in the first place, to commemorate the wonderful and best gift anyone in this world can receive, the blessings of the Atonement and the Ressurection. Another is that the snow is usually melting and it means the colorful blossoms of Spring will soon be here, including the wonderful and perfect warmth. The third reason I love this time of year is because of these:



Sweet, melt in your mouth, irresistible, eat a whole bag in one day (sadly, but seriously true) Mini Eggs. I try to just limit myself to one bag per year, but how can you when they come up at 12:01am on February 15 and last until sometime in April? That's two whole months of amazing self control, of which I have none. So until I have found my Genie in a bottle and can wish for that kind of self control, I shall buy a bag today, and maybe eat the whole thing. Why? Because I deserve it!
