Northwood

This weekend Ben and I are going to Northwood. Nancy and Glenn (Ben's parents) have a house up there. It's on Harvey Lake in New Hampshire, and it's awesome. We went up a couple of times over the summer to swim in the lake and putput in the boat. Obviously, we're not doing that this weekend. It'll be nice to get away, though. We'll have a campfire and grill and do those sorts of things. Thank god for Sarah, who is watching the Duke while we're away.

For those of you who know me well, you know I always watch the Ten Commandments around this time. They usually air it on the Saturday before Easter because it coincides with Passover and people have the time off to watch it. I've been watching it since I was little, and it is one of the only good traditions Doug passed on to me. I don't have any emotional attachment to the story - I don't believe it's true, and I don't base my faith on it - but I LOVE the movie. It's a great great GREAT movie, and I was bummed I was going to be away and forced to be social so I couldn't watch it. WEEEELLLL, for Easter, Ben bought me the 50th Anniversary Edition of the film and I am PUMPED! I'm going to watch it on Monday when we get back to town. Clearly he loves me if he is going to provide me with hours of entertainment that he knows he'll be forced to witness. "So let it be written. So let it be done."

I have so much to do before we leave tonight, so I'm cutting this short.

Happy Easter everyone! I always think of our Easter celebration at the Shapusens. Stuffing potatoes and green bean casserole, an egg hunt, and GRINDHOUSE. Best Easter Ever.


SPOILER ALERT

I also wanted to say how excited I am that DESMOND is back on LOST. My favorite character, I've been missing him dreadfully. SOOO yummy.
