happy easter weekend!

I am pretty excited for this easter weekend, mainly because I haven't been home and able to celebrate easter with my family in a really long time. I also get to spend some time with friends in Atlanta, and it'll generally be a nice weekend.

Now, I am not all that religious. I mean, raised Catholic, know how to go through all the motions, but easter isn't as important to me as it is to my parents, and the rest of my family. However, there are a lot of things I still love about the weekend. First of all, I'm excited to spend time with my family. My grandparents are in from North Carolina, and my siblings are home (well, they always are), but I have had an increasing appreciation for down time with my family as I have gotten older.

Also, the Game of Thrones premier is on Sunday. I know that everyone says this, but I am completely obsessed with the show. I've read the books too, but I'm pretty excited to see what happens. Also, all the leadup articles to the premiere have been pretty awesome. AKA, this: http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/1554536/game-of-thrones-character-playlist-25-songs-for-season-3?page=0%2C0. You're welcome.

I'm also pretty excited because its actually starting to get nice and look like spring around here. Usually by this time, its very warm in Atlanta, but last weekend it was cold and rainy, and its been cold most of the week. Today, its sunny and in the 60s, so I am pretty hopeful that the rest of the weekend will be pretty nice (okay, it is supposed to rain this weekend but its also supposed to be in the 60s, I'll take that over the nasty 40 degree weather and rain. Seriously, I thought I lived in the South. What is this?)

I'm also having a particularly nice Friday because most of my office is out. I've been able to catch up on some long-term projects and listen to my bonnaroo playlist without feeling self conscious about listening to music at work, like I usually do.

Basically, I'm in good spirits. The weekend will be low key and nothing particularly glamorous, but that's sounding exciting to me for some reason.

Happy easter weekend everyone!!
