Who else is alone on Easter?

[Brent]

So, my family ran off to Savannah, GA for the Easter Holiday weekend and did not invite me, so here I am alone, at home, no Easter dinner, just, here. Anyone else alone on this holiday weekend?

Not me! I'm with my familiy! by the by, why did your family leave you? you being punished or somethen?

 

[Hermiod]

I am too. Everyone else has gone away for the weekend.

I was going to stay out of the family gathering but at the last minute decided to go because I heard they had some great cakes.

I don't know, inconsiderate I guess, I'm pretty bummed about it, a pretty sad thing to do really IMO. This is the first Easter I haven't had an Easter dinner with family.

I guess I'll just order a pizza and watch The Amazing Race and Celebrity Apprentice tonight.

I'm alone, but that's been true for the last several years. I was expecting to have to work today, so I didn't make plans...and then my boss gave me the day off anyway.

I was going to be alone this Easter, but then a last-minute and very welcome shift change occurred, allowing me to spend some time with the family.

I'm gettin' together with some friends tonight to see Monsters vs Aliens...

...so, not really. But, if it helps, my family is two hundred (or more) miles away right now.

And not really speakin' with me, anyway, except to complain. So, I think I'm better.

I'm usually alone on holidays like these. My family and old friends live on the other side of the country.

Sometimes my colleagues take pity on me, and invite me over for dinner, but not for Easter.

I appreciate those invitations, but for the most part, I don't mind being alone. Easter doesn't mean a whole lot to me anyway. And Good Friday usually catches me by surprise. It's a public holiday, here in Canada and I can't count the number of times I've gone out on Good-Friday morning and wondered, "WTF--why is everything closed? Oh--wait--"

Ordering pizza sounds like a good idea. Especially since I've been washing dishes and cleaning my kitchen this afternoon.

Not me! I got Jesus!

I have my immediate family of wife and daughter to celebrate with. Because of the number of church gigs I have over this weekend, we chose not to travel. Because my family is sick of me putting my foot down on religious holidays about "gigs" and not being able to travel, they stayed home.

Lovely church service this morning, even if the pedal work left my groin sore, nice light lunch, and now steak for dinner. The Easter Bunny has been wonderful to my daughter, and I got plenty of yardwork done. We were even able to see the Doctor Who special.

I dunno. My Easter seems really quite complete without family hubbub.

Me, going to start dinner in a bit, Bangers & mashed with corn

 

[Goji]

Not really, my roommate is around and there are always people trying to get a hold of me. I kind of wish I could get some alone time now and again, I never really feel truly relaxed with other people around.

My husband is working a 24 hour shift. I did go visit my mom, but she has severe dementia, so I would say I spent Easter pretty much alone.

 

[Ruaidhri]

I am. Hasn't been a bad day, though. Nice out for dog walks, I've gotten some writing done, some house cleaning. Watched the Phillies win in a comeback against the Rockies.

Right now I'm finishing up preparation of butterflied pork chops, roast potatoes and french cut green beans. Smells yummy, and I'll be popping in a DVD while I eat.

 

[Garrovick]

I was supposed to be alone. But last night a close friend thought he had a heart attack. I spent the afternoon watching TV with him. He had to stay for observation and tests Monday AM.

 

[Goliath]

^Drag.

I hope your friend is okay.

 

[FrontLine]

Sorta alone. My family is about 1400 miles away from me. So I had dinner with my work crew.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I'm alone now.

Was just my husband and I, much like any other Sunday. I had completely forgotten it was Easter until I saw all the chocolate in the store. Neither my family nor my in-laws are religious, so there was no reason to celebrate Easter for us.
