How to get a solid chocolate bunny...

I've never been a big fan of hollow easter bunnies. I always felt so cheated. Presented with what looks like a pretty decent sized hunk of chocolate, it was always disappointing to bite off an ear and discover nothing but empty space inside. This year I took matters into my own hands and created my own solid (white) chocolate bunny for 96 cents.

This is the result of making the bunny run errands on Easter when it's 90 degrees.

In which Ana's team loses yet again...

Scene 1: in which Ana's team dutifully sets up the defense for the incoming corner kick. (Ana is closest to us wearing #5 in orange.)

Scene 2: in which Ana's teams stares in amazement as the ball ricochets off the goalies hands and into the net whilst no one actually moves!

back in the car but not my car...my car has a dead battery and won't start. this is not new. it happens every 4-7 months. i guess now is the time. tomorrow it goes to the shop for a new battery. i don't want to be without a car for the day, so i rented one. less than 20 bucks to ease my stress-better than a manicure!
