It's the Friday before Easter, I believe this is called "Good Friday" but for those of us who go to work or school 5 days a week, I think it's pretty safe to say that all Fridays are good. Am I right?
Springtime is stretching out its muscles these days and while the economy is crumbling, the grass is poking out in bright green blades, toes and shoulders are getting some sun for the first time in months, and love is in the air. I've got a plan this spring to carry around wildflower seeds and sprinkle them on sidewalk cracks and bare dirt patches on my daily walking commute. I'm so excited by the idea of pretty flowers popping up in the gritty sidewalks of Oakland!
While I do my seed sprinkling, I like to listen to happy music, and I am finding that this one song, You and I by Ingrid Michaelson, is coming up on repeat an and awful lot. While it features Jason Mraz whom I'm not really a fan of, the sentiment of the song is downright adorable. Its got the ukulele going on, and it breaks down into a sing-a-long, which is almost always a winner in my book.
There is a lyric in this song that always sticks out at me.
"maybe I think you're cute and funny,
maybe I wanna do what bunnies do with you,
if you know what I mean"
These lyrics are relevant to me for a couple reasons. 1) It's almost Easter, which is as we all know, is a holiday honoring bunnies and chocolate. 2) I have a couple of pet bunnies and I know for a fact that what they do is UTTERLY ADORABLE.
For those of you who don't have the honor of having bunnies, you might want to check out this live bunny cam to get a feel for what I'm talking about.
In case you were wondering, all of the bunnies featured on this cam are 100% adoptable from PetSave Foundation and their Rabbitat in San Pedro CA. You know, just in case you want or need to experience the joy and adorableness up close. What this cam doesn't show is how ridiculously soft and petable these guys are. Forrealz.
And with that friends, I wish you; a happy Easter, Passover, spring, weekend, and whatever else you might be up to. Just be happy, okay?
