I woke up at 11:30 a.m. this morning. I was dead asleep from the time I went to bed until 11:30- none of this wake up and decide to go back to sleep stuff.

Sleeping over 12 hours was truly delicious and I don't feel even a little bit guilty about it, because I woke up refreshed and ready to conquer the world.

It's not in my plans to conquer the world today, mind you, but if I had planned it- I'm ready for it.

Yesterday was lovely. Dinner turned out fab and the company was great. Of course, having Riley here is always a treat for me. The bearded eye-roller tells everyone that Riley could sneeze and I'd think it was the cutest thing in the world.

It was fun playing Easter Bunny to my real kids Casey, Jessica, and Riley) and my Internet kids. I have collected so many Internet kids that I think I've lost count. I've never had one live close enough to actually invite to family gatherings- so having Angela (and her tag-along, Colby.. tee hee) here is wonderful.

BTW, Angela? You're never allowed to move away. OK, one caveat, you are allowed to move back to your REAL mother's vicinity, since I know she's kind enough to share.

We ended up watching Michael Clayton (with George Clooney) and my comment once the movie was done was, "I want last two hours of my life back". Can you believe that I had two full hours of George Clooney and didn't savor every minute? Well, that just goes to show you how much I did NOT like that movie.

I experimented a bit with the asparagus and it turned out really well. I used a turkey baster to take the drippings out of the prime rib pan and poured them into a sauce pan. Added to that, 1/2 cube of butter (everything is better with butter, dontcha think?), 3 beef bullion cubes, sliced mushrooms, sliced green onion, garlic and salt. I let that cook for a couple of hours until it was reduced to a thick sauce. I laid the asparagus on to a serving dish and a poured the sauce over the top of the asparagus. It made for a lovely presentation and it was really yummy.

Anyhoo- now I have to decide whether I want to conquer the garden, or just reeeeeeelllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxxxxxxx today.

::kid in the back raises hand:: Hey RisibleGirl, why don't you just relax today?

Good idea, kid in the back! I think I'll do that!
