This Easter was a pretty good one for me. Oddly enough, it looks like the majority of the eggs got died by yours truly. Typically this is a tradition one of my two sisters dominates... and I dare say they're much better at it than I am, but things just turned out really busy this year. It's weird being a grown-up DAH!!!
I ended up playing flute for 4 masses, which had me taping and hole-punching sheet music clear from Holy Thursday to Easter morning. It all turned out well though. I only managed to lose one piece of music and I think the conductor forgave me. It's always interesting to watch the way different churches do the triduum ceremonies too. Admittedly though I do feel kind of awkward when they set me up too close to the altar on good Friday. All the priests coming out and plopping on their faces right in front of me makes me feel like a giant black and white dressed dork waving my very obvious light-reflecting silver dowel of "HEY LOOK AT ME!"
Speaking of Jesus, on good Friday I also had the delight of joining the Good Children Social Aid and Pleasure Club (a New Orleans' local neighborhood improvement society) for an enthusiastic bout of Jesus Christ Superstar karaoke. I even won a prize in the raffle following it which was held to benefit their annual Easter Parade (in which, sadly, I did not participate this year).
Easter itself was pretty fun too. My parents hid baskets for us at their house again, despite the fact that the three of us are now ranging from 23 to 29 years old. Then I got the chance to party with the whole Baudier clan at my aunt and uncle's in Luling, before heading back to my apartment in Baton Rouge.
Well guys and girls... welcome to the dry season of holidays. We'll have to invent our own reasons to give gifts and see eachother till December. 'Shouldn't be too hard.
