They are all reasons that I am super pumped for the upcoming weekend. First of all, I love Easter. In addition to being a mental marker that spring is actually here, and having heavy Christian religious significance, the best candy of the year is available for purchase. Reagan and I have been warming up for weeks, with the candy eating. We went through an entire bag of Cadbury mini-eggs and a bad of Reese’s Eggs last weekend. I’m hoping that we have been able to condition our GI tracts for the sugar beat-down they are about to receive this weekend.
Second: This weekend kicks off the 2009 MotoGP season. I can’t even freaking wait for this.
Third: NYRR Scotland Run 10k in Central Park, is this Saturday. We have a lot of friends who are also running it. I’m pretty excited about it. I am still trying to put together some kilts for the event. I think they may come together tomorrow night, if the stars are in alignment. Either way, I have created a sticker bearing the McNee family crest (Scottish version), that I will be proudly wearing during the race. Although the majority of my bloodline is of scandinavian origin, I also have ancestry in the McNee Clan through my mother’s grandmother Doris Nay (Nay being an American adaptation of McNee). Let’s hope for some good weather.

A scottish run?? How freaking awesome is that? I am from the McIntosh clan and my husband is from the Douglas clan. I’m 99% sure they were rival clans. Do people run it in kilts? I would, I have more Scottish pride than fear of embarassment.
And AMEN to the awesome easter candy! Have you seen all the different flavors of Cadbury eggs this year? They have a marshmellow one in dark chocolate. DONE.
