Does it Make Me a Bad Person To Love a Good Old Fashioned April Fool's Joke? :)

I think not!

I did feel a slight pang of guilt with each congratulation however - but it was quickly followed by a *hee hee, the old facebook April Fool's status update and blog post trick really does work, hee hee*

Thank you for your nice comments and happiness about my faux pregnancy. I'm so glad that your were so glad!

I didn't get Matt this year though. I still feel bad about the time I pulled a cruel one on him about five or six years ago. At the time, I drove a 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon, which was a totally H-O-T hot car btw, and not just because it didn't have air-conditioning. Several times random people in parking lots wanted to buy it. It had the coolness factor (I made cuter curtains for it sometime after this picture was taken), and it was also huge inside, as you can see from the pic below (can't find an exterior shot at the moment).

There's room to spare on that back row with two huge car seats and a nine year old! I could practically stand up in it. But that also meant that it was high profile and not built for wind. It was down right scary sometimes in fact. When a strong gust would hit, it felt as if it was pushing you right into the next lane, (kind of like changing lanes in Frogger), or off the road. On Thanksgiving one year, we were almost blown into a ditch driving up to my Mom's. It was a 'we're all gonna die moment'. So when I called Matt on a super windy April Fool's Day one year, and told him we'd blown over and the kids were pretending to cry in the background - that was cruel and unusual punishment!!! Still haven't lived that one down or received a just punishment... sorry again honey.

And happy day after April Fools everyone :) I deserve to be 'gotten' next year! And no, I'm not taking a break. I'm still determined to somehow make Anjeny love Jack Johnson!!!
