Rain and Rain and what omg MORE RAIN are you kidding? ugh. I got into my car and seat belted up with a look of dread that could melt a steel bridge. A 2 and a half hour drive began on friday night to the town of Eugene.( My sister and I think Eugene has an odd smell to it ) I drove down the three lane highway of Oregon, other wise know as the I-5. The road this weekend was covered in water. There was so much water I felt like my dear old honda was literally floating down the highway at about a good 70 miles per hour at times. Not to mention that it was very difficult to see due to all the water on my windshield and back water from the road drifting on to my car from other cars. Moral of the story- I am lucky to be alive because I literally was fearing for my life to get to Eugene - I may be slightly over dramatic but it is my artistic right.
After this little adventure I arrived at my grandparents house. Which mind you doesn't smell of cats nor old people. YOu know what I"m talking about - that putrid smell that old ladies sometimes pass when you walk by them in the pet food section at pets mart. Its like nasty mixed with wrinkles. It hurts your nose pretty bad but its almost as if you cant say a word because it would just be so hurtful that the old lady may cry.
Anyway. I had dinner and went to bed.
The next day - consisted of getting ready for " Easter!" woo. Yeah I get it, Easter is great. I like it just about as much as the person who wears the rabbit suit at the mall. You know what else I like, is the Pastel colored candy. Every other holiday it seems uses the solid colors that are uber bright. It makes me think that perhaps all marketing people think that the average American won't see something unless it is bright Red, Blue or Yellow. Hello people we can see all the colors of the rainbow thank you. Easter as well brings the weird tradition of hiding eggs, something I must say did not happen this year. Which is one thing I'm happy about because well I dont really like dyeing eggs or hiding them for that matter.
Another plus about Easter is I like candy and getting a easter presents from the parental units, I'm not one to complain. Yet this year I feel like Easter was just not as magical. Last year I had the pleasure of going to an authentic Easter service that was in a super old church in Germany. It was amazing to say the least. This year, was good I got to to see family and eat a bunch of food. Which was rad. However my parents thought the perfect easter gift was a Chia pet. Whatever possessed them to purchase this odd thing as a gift is literally beyond me. I cant grow things. Maybe it will enlighten me, and teach me how to grow. Doubtful but yeah I will try it. Easter also brought family eating time- an event to be described as well my father being annoying- My grandmother making so much food we could probably feed at least 30 people and my cousins being crazy.
All in all not a bad weekend. I'm really glad I got to see the family and eat some great food. Minus though the drive from hell.
