It's raining which pretty much means I will stay in my jammies all day and pretend like there is no outside world. That's what rainy days do to me when I don't have any need to leave the house. The kid is currently at an indoor egg hunt at a friends house and I am having an early glass of wine while listening to Silence of the Lambs on the television in the background and I think it's kind of perfect.
My silly boy totally thought that I would let this holiday go by without giving him a basket full of candy and so he was very pleasantly surprised to find one this morning and has been a lovely child all day long. I did wake up early to whip up some chocolate chip pancakes for him for breakfast, but since then napping has occupied much of my day. I always feel weird celebrating holidays like this. Growing up, my family was sort of half-non-practicing-non-church-going-catholic, but I'm straight up atheist so it just makes me uncomfortable, especially now that my mom runs away to Mexico for every holiday and my grandparents are all dead. But dude, my kid wants chocolate bunnies too! So I play along, grudgingly.
I need to finish reading a book called Prison Religion and write a short paper about it for Tuesday. And a billion other things to read. And I have to come up with three more poems to enter for this scholarship that I probably won't get, but am going to try for anyway. And I have to figure out my life.
Tonight, if I can get any reading done at all, I will watch Capitalism, a Love Story.
Tomorrow I might go apply for a job at the local brewery. I could be the hostess with the mostest and that would be better than nothing I suppose.
Happy zombie day kids, I'm going to try to get some shit done. Even though it's raining.

I think you are off to a fabulous start with the poem entries. GO FOR IT! You never know how the cards could unfold this time. I'd definitely come in for a beer if you were a hostess =).
