Chocolate Salty Balls

There's a lot of Easter candy around. My roommate and her husband made each other Easter baskets, and I've been eating Starburst jelly beans, M&Ms, and fun-size Krackels all day. Blugh.

My actual Easter was spent at my parents' house. My parents and I went to a three-play marathon at Lincoln Center on Saturday (and received pins that said "I Ran The Marathon -- The Coast of Utopia"), and arrived home at 1:15am. Sunday was pretty lazy. I watched the Phils play terribly against the Marlins and fell asleep, awaking in time to see them lose. My brother and his family arrived, and I dyed Easter eggs with my 3-year-old nephew. Mom tried to reheat a glass full of dyed dark blue water in the microwave, and we heard a muffled BOOM. We opened the microwave and discovered blue egg bits all over the inside. I guess she hadn't seen the egg inside the cup of water. Anyway, it was a relaxing day.

I have an all-day practical exam tomorrow -- seeing actor-patients for six and a half hours and writing up notes on them. Whee.
