Fashionably Late Easter Recipe 1

Happy Easter! For some it's today, and for me it was yesterday. I had a 'Marvelous in My Monday' city adventure with my guy. The day first started out with us on a hunt for Easter Eggs....AKA us walking ourselves to the grocery to buy some. Last year I had a jelly-bean egg and he had a pirate egg. Well, this year literally no grocery store was open...anywhere! So we went with it, adventuring all around the city people watching, exploring new shops and side streets and ended up at a bar. Talk about the 21 year old version of Easter huh? It was awesome though, good to just be out of the house trying something new. (with my boo - could not help it I love rhyming)

It's hard being this...in tune.

How was your Easter? What'd you do!

Hide eggs? Or go for the more "adult" whiskey-shot version?

(I should have asked if they could dye them....mint.)
