The Easter Bunny

Not so early last Sunday morning the whole family set out to visit Mike's Grandma who has been in the hospital for nearly two weeks. Along the way we made two pit stops. First at a bait shop then at a bakery.
Mike needed to stop at Musky Mike's bait shop in Okauchee to pick up a special lure that the walleyes think is irresistible lately and I needed to stop at a bakery because,  frankly,  this momma isn't happy until she eats breakfast (I can't be the only one, right?).
For one reason or another mike was pretty adamant that I needed to accompany him into the baitshop. And no, it's not because I like to help him pick out the prettiest lures. Apparently, fish don't care about pretty. I can't remember the exact reason he wanted me to come in but have since determined that it was fate.
Anyway, it didn't take long for us to locate the specific lure and we were just about to check out when mike asked me "did you see what's in the box?"
"What box?" I replied.
"The one down there. " he said while gesturing toward my feet.
I hadn't noticed the small box before then. As I knelt down to peer into the crate I felt unsure of what type of critter I would find I would find in a bait shop. I braced myself for a surprise, half expecting to find some sort of wild animal. Instead all I saw was a furry black butt.
"What is it?" I asked the store clerk.
"A rabbit." he replied, continuing to explain that a friend of his had dropped it off a few days prior. Someone else was supposed to come pick it up, but they has never shown up. So the rabbit needed a new home before the clerk decided to turn it into dinner.
The instant I heard the word "rabbit" I was excited. By the time the clerk finished explaining how he had acquired the animal, I was already cuddling the bunny in my lap.
"I'll take it!" I told him, ignoring mike who was in the backround, adamantly shaking his head "no!"
Pretty soon we had loaded the rabbit into the trunk, whom I'd already dubbed "Musky Mike" after the name of the bait shop, and continued on our way to get breakfast and visit Grandma (who is doing better, by the way).
  That's how the easter bunny arrived at our house. Since then, "Musky Mike" turned out to be a "Musky Michelle". She is a beautiful black Dutch rabbit who was on blue eye and one brown. She has settled in well at home. Layla fell in love with her new "Easter Bunny" immediately. She tries to pet and pick up Michelle or "Mischa" so much that we  have to put the rabbit back into her cage just so she can relax sometimes.
Overall our family feels a little more complete now that there's a bunny among us. She is the perfect pet for our family right now.

A Wasted Weekend

Am I the only one that thought today was Monday until a moment ago? Mike worked Saturday,  which made it feel like a Friday. Then I was miserably sick Sunday and Monday. So, instead of spending outdoors with the family, I spent lots of time in bed watching the History channel because I couldn't reach the remote. And by the way, the History channel should probably be renamed the "Paranoia" channel. It is definitely not the warm and fuzzy, pick me up that I needed while I was sick. Why wasn't Animal planet's "Too Cute" on when I needed it!? "Too Cute" has to be the most Therapeutic show on television. Wouldn't you agree?
So that was just the start of my sub-par weekend. To top all the sucky-ness off, one of my sugar gliders died. A sugar glider looks like a cute little flying squirrel except they are nocturnal marsupials. They're super sweet. Last week I rescued one named Stitch (like Lilo and Stitch) from a friend and had hoped I could rehabilitate it enough that it would be a good buddy for Shugs, the one Mike and I have had for a couple years. In the end it was sicker than anyone had imagined because it passed away last night. I cried despite only having it a week. Mike and Layla buried it in a pretty spot down by the river.
The only thing good about my weekend is I received my first Ipsy Glam bag in the mail yesterday. I actually thought I had canceled my subscription last month because I signed up at the end of December and never ever received a bag. Luckily I didn't because I was pleasantly surprised with what was in my bag. Sure alot of my bag was similar to items I already had like the shimmery neutral eye shadow and  versatile pink lipstick but overall it seemed alot more colorful than birchbox. The sizes were bigger however, Plus I love the bag itself. I'm picky about floral prints but this blue floral bag was perfect. Not sure how I'm gonna use it yet though.
So that sums up my weekend. Was yours better than mine was?
