I didn't get a spring break from school, really, but I took a personal day tomorrow, and that gives me five days off in a row. I am so happy, it's hard to describe what a difference a few days extra makes.
On a side note that truly is completely unrelated: I just got the hiccups, but I didn't HAVE the hiccups. What I've done for years is get on the floor, or slumped in my seat, as SOON as I realize the problem. It works. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but it's worked for me. I remember slinking down in my desk in class years ago when I suddenly started hiccupping, and then they were gone. I don't know what I'll do if my strategy suddenly stops working. I feel SO SO bad for the rare case where a person has had the hiccups for years. Honestly, I don't think I could handle that.
I'm going to see my parents tomorrow, and then Adam and I are going to Duluth/Two Harbors. I don't know where we're staying yet since we couldn't secure a reservation since we don't get paid until tomorrow (DAMN this suffering economy), but I know we'll have fun no matter where we end up staying. Then we're heading to the Cities to stay with Chris and Katie (Chris and Adam went to elementary/high school together), and then we'll go to the 311 concert (Yes! I got tickets). We'll stay with my brother Sunday night, and hopefully we'll get to meet his girlfriend at some point. We'll see my grandma in Foley Monday, and then Adam's sister in St. Cloud for lunch. It's a really busy weekend, and what's kind of hard is that we'll still not see everyone we'd like to see. We just have to keep it somewhat focused because we need to feel somewhat relaxed.
I talked with my friend Natasha last night about how blogs can get so self-absorbed and all about "Here's what I'm doing". Maybe that's not a bad thing, but lately I've been feeling like I don't want it to be just about me. I want to say something more, in some way. What's funny is that right now I really don't know how to tie my life into the "bigger picture". Maybe that's because I'm slightly intoxicated on some really cheap wine, so................ Maybe next time. :)
I hope all of you have a really nice Easter weekend, whatever you choose to do.

xox
whoo hoo! you're little brother has a girlfriend!
i hope you have the most wonderful vacation. it sounds like a lot of fun.
I, too, feel that blogs are "me me me". However I also LOVE reading about what other people are doing (on their blogs) and how they are, so I think it's a great way to keep in touch.--
Plus~ people have a choice whether they want to read a blog or not. Mine is quite boring, but it's just me... take it or leave it!
Sounds like you have a very busy, but FUN weekend ahead of you! Enjoy it.~
Happy Eater, Laura!
Hey Laura - have a great weekend. It sounds like a much needed break.
I like what you write about Blogs and I agree with April on this one. I love that I can read about other people and keep in touch. I think what I appreciate about blogs is when they are not about "me, me, me - I am great..." but instead provide some semblance of reality. I love that you document your highs and lows, and I try to do that as well. I see my blog as a journal, it's just an "in" to my life.
But, I see where Natasha is coming from. I have seen more than one (as I surfed the web one day) that made be feel "Blch! You MUST have a superiority complex!!!"
If people keep it real, then it's a great way to not feel so ALONE. I've learned a lot from you, Erin, some of the people on your blog roll --- and many more!
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!!!
*your*
I think the best blogs have a greater message than personal updates. I do love hearing about what's going on with you though and am happy to hear that you're getting some time off. Have a wonderful vacation!
