In Conclusion.....

Posted 8:44 PM by Dezi Rollins, LSSP

This month has definitely been action packed! First, we had the crazy days of snow during the first week! Then the next weekend, some of my female family members and I piled in two cars to drive out to Jackson, Mississippi, home of the Mal's St. Paddy's Day parade. We attended in honor of the Sweet Potato Queens, and had some great costumes that Mom put together!

Mom had the idea for all of us to give a gift to all the other queens, which was definitely a hit! Some of the gifts include: lip gloss, bubbles, necklaces, as well as other girly things! We enjoyed playing games, and watching everyone try out Aunt Carol's Wii. The parade was a lot of fun, we all got lotsa beads as well as various other trinkets. Pictures of the festivities can be viewed here.

The day after we returned back home, I got to experience my first mammogram. I won't go into details about that, but it was not nearly as bad as I imagined in my head. I'm all clear until next year! The best part is that afterwards, Mom and I went to eat cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory!

On Good Friday, David and I went to Lovers Lane UMC to attend their service. Their choir was performing the same music as Grace Avenue, however Becky was one of the soloists at Lovers Lane, (and I hadn't been to choir rehearsals this sememster due to my Wednesday night class), so that's where we went. After the service, Becky, her fiance Eric, her parents, along with David & I went to dinner at Macaroni Grille. Since we were a little late for the dinner crowd, we were seated fairly quickly. The food was great and the company was superb! We had a fabulous time!

Saturday was spent getting stuff ready for Easter. I got creative this year and had some fun with Easter eggs. I dyed some, then tried different decorating styles for each one: painting flowers with a q-tip, making dots with an eraser, painting with a toothbrush, gluing rick rack to an egg, decoupage with tissue paper (wound up looking like duct tape since I used silver paper), as well as attempting to paint stripes. They came out looking pretty cute, although there's no way I'm putting Martha Stewart out of a job!

After Easter service, we decided to go have brunch. The entire city of Frisco decided to go to the same restaurant as us. Once we were seated, our breakfast was wonderful. After finishing, we headed back to the house for a bit before heading out to DeSoto. It was good to see the family and watch the kids in the egg hunt.

This past week was spent getting things ready for my class presentation on Wednesday. I was rather stressed about it, but it went really well. Friday night, I went for my weekly torture session of yoga, having missed a couple weeks due to travel/Good Friday. It was definitely tough, but I left with a big grin on my face!

Yesterday was the first annual Rover Rally, put on by the Frisco Dog Park, Inc. I showed up early to help with set-up, although there wasn't a whole lot to set up at my booth. I had been assigned to work the Bobbing for Weenies booth, which was an absolute hoot to watch! The dogs were to try to get a vienna sausage from a bucket, it was so funny to watch! Most of the dogs weren't quite sure what to do, several of them (Roxie included), we had to hand them a weenie instead of them bobbing for it. Oh well.

I had entered Roxie into the dog contest, in the best tail wagging category. At home, her tail is almost constantly going, but when it came time to go before the judges, she got performance anxiety! She wagged a little bit when I talked to her on stage, but not enough to win. Oh well, maybe I'll teach her a trick for next year's contest. Here are the pics.

All in all, March was an eventful month, and April is looking to be packed as well!
