Here are two recipes for the same Easter Cookies....
The first one, The Brutal Death of Our Savior Cookies, has quite a bit of additional commentary.
The second one, Easter Story Cookies, has none of the commentary of the first one, but is otherwise the same recipe.
Enjoy the read!

Thoughts spewing forth...
So, I have decided to have separate blogs for various topics...
Kini's Quest is for my neverending quest to find a fitness and diet plan that works for me...and sticking to it.
Kini's Place is about all the little things that happen at home.
Kini's World is still here, THIS world, for my endless thoughts about a myriad of topics.
Join me, if you wish! I would love to see your place on the net too! Leave me a comment with your address.

Flowers
This year, I've decided to try purchasing my bulb flowers (tulips, daffodils, etc) as flowering plants. Then, when the weather is nicer (aka, the cold and snow FINALLY is gone) I will plant them outside.
Previously, I've planted bulbs in the fall, but rarely ever get plants in the spring. I know I have moles...OMG do we have moles. And groundhogs! Three, I think. I've heard of bulb cages that you put in the ground to keep the critters from eating the bulbs, but I wonder if they are worth it?

Good Riddance Winter!
What is with all the cold weather? SNOW? Temps in the low 20s?
I think winter needs to get on with it and go on vacation... Isn't the southern hemisphere expecting winter to show up there soon?
Today, April 6th, at 11:30 am edt, I was out galavanting around (ok, I was shopping) and it was only 26 degrees out! And, snowing! Ugh...

Geez Woman!
Geez Woman! Get with it already!
Sometimes that addage: Out of Sight, Out of Mind severely applies to me. The problem is that even in full sight, I can easily ignore things. Argh!
So, pretty much everything has fallen by the wayside for three months now. I'm losing any progress I had made between September and January. January, I maintained, but I really think I had myself fooled that I was maintaining. Besides, maintenance is so far from what I need (and want) to be doing now.
This morning when I got up, I felt different. I know it is all in my head...where it should be. I realized that for the last three months, I have been hiding in the baggy (albeit very WARM) clothing. I can fit into my jeans still, though barely. I'm sure it looks terrible, but I can still breathe in them.
This likely means that I took a mental vacation from my health pursuits... a three month vacation. And, the worst part, it is so not worth it. I had signed up for all sorts of challenges and such hoping -- praying -- that they would help me get back on track. None of it did. The things that were helping me before my vacation had stopping helping me back in January. Maybe earlier.
Why today? What happened yesterday, last night, or while I slept? Honestly, I have not the faintest of clues.
I need to make this feeling stay. And when it wanes, I need to plow through. I have goals damnit.
I've also moved my health & diet blog (this one) over to its new site: Kini's Quest! Please feel free to join me, I could totally use the feedback. Leave a comment with your site too, I would love to see it!

Birthdays Galore!
This month has a lot of birthdays for celebrating! My Dad's, Hubby's Dad, Both nieces, and Two cousins!
The oddity of it all? Hubby's Dad and one of my niece's have the same birthday. Also, both the cousins and my other niece have the same birthday! In fact, both the cousins (a brother and sister no less) share the same birthday, just five years apart (I think it's five). How would you like to have the same birthday as YOUR brother or sister? Not me. Uh-uh, no way!
I hope they all have a wonderful birthday!
