Angela just asked "What are we going to do today?"

Typically we celebrate Easter Sunday with family but everyone has gotten together in the Bay Area while we are just asking ourselves this questions of what to do.  You know... the kind of question that you keep asking yourself for hours and hours until nothing is done and by the time you know it, it's already the late afternoon.

Yesterday, we spent our Saturday night watching "Friday Night Lights" and definitely enjoying the first season on DVD.  Perused hulu.com and to see how many episodes have shown on television already and surprised 13 episodes have already been shown.  So, I suppose, I'll wait for the next season 2 DVD to be released.

Another sleepless night...not as bad as Tuesday or Wednesday but I find myself sleeping at 3:00-4:00 a.m. and waking up around 8:00 or so. 

I feel that my head is running ideas of what I should be doing career wise and things I should be striving for and just going for the gusto and then the other side of again, telling me to stick out the bad months through my personal business and that things will pick up. 

Actually, I found solace through the blog of tech geek Susan Mernit and Adam Kazwell's tumblr blog.  Susan and Adam were one of the talents released from Yahoo! in February and it's actually have helped me calm because I'm feeling similar things that she is going through as well. 

Talked a little with long time pal, ALDR in regards to his recent release from his company and the pains that he's going through of losing another near six-figure income job.  We both discussed about career changes, life changes and how things seem to sting so much when you're at your mid-30's or mid-40's.    While our friends and family working in the California State Prison system are getting paid well and really, have no threats of layoffs.  Is this the life that we chose, to work in new media, web 2.0 or 3.0 or tech related jobs and having to change jobs frequently.  It's one thing of constantly changing in your 20's and early 30's but can one keep repeating the process for the next 15 years of switching companies in two year span like similar brethren that can be found in our linkedin accounts.

But as much as I should be working on my article, I need I'm going to use this day to not do any work, just enjoy the day and think. 

So, what to do today?  We know we could always go out and use the credit card and eat well but I've listened too far too much of Dave Ramsey's show to actually have a new perspective on how I deal with my finances of having a life of less debt and not having to use credit cards.

What to do on Easter Sunday...Hmm...

Woke up earlier this morning for Christian's third straight Easter Egg Hunt.  We realized that this year's festivity would be held at another park (the other area supposedly was not good because a drunk guy fell in the lake or something and died).  So, at first I felt that things were fine...not many people or kids...that was until the last 10 minutes before it started.  Possibly over a hundred kids and maybe fifty easter eggs and various candy scattered around. 

Christian found three eggs which was pretty good considering there were way too many kids and not enough eggs but he came home disappointed.  Last year, he won first place and this year, all he had were three eggs.

So, we'll have our own Easter Egg Hunt for him tomorrow or later today.

Anyway, the night sleeping on the new bed was just awesome.  The bed was just awesome and definitely one of the best purchases I made so far in 2008 or possibly in my life.  Man, I don't know why I held out so long to buy a good bed.

Today, I feel like watching the "Passions of Christ" DVD that I bought years ago and friends and family have borrowed and viewed.  But as much as I want to watch it, I feel like playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii or watching more Friday Night Lights.  Just bought that DVD and I thank Ellen for recommending it to me.

But then again, I need to work on the Europe and Australia section for my upcoming article.  I know...trying not to let my compulsive work behavior get the best of me...
