Happy Freakin' Easter

This is a different kind of posting.  I didn't go anywhere exceptional for dinner tonight, I didn't order anything amazing. I am not even having a cocktail.  (Shocking, but true)

Tonight I made my first dinner in my new apartment. Now I've eaten in the apartment but it's been take out. But tonight I cooked (kind of...).  I made myself a little quesadilla and then heated up leftover yummy eggbake goodness from my friend Liz's Easter Brunch.    This wasn't a life changing meal and required a very little prep.   I pulled out my pan and grabbed my utensils and my plates that I have hardly seen since Fall 2007 and was excited to see all my things.  Finally, after living "temporarily" in someone else's space for the last two years I had my stuff around me.  I know it's just "stuff" and "stuff" isn't important in the grand scheme of things (I'll take my Birch D girls any day over my dishes) but there is something comforting about the familiar.   These are the things that helped make my home mine. I don't know how to explain it. It sounds dumb and frivolous.  All I can say is that when I served my little meal on my plate and sat on my couch a stupid little smile spread across my face.

Happy Freakin' Easter, Everyone.
