Good morning friends.

MP, congrats to Amy. Will she go to a state competition now?

Gail, glad EB is feeling better.

I MUST get my mom's taxes mailed to the accountant this morning. I will be back only after I am done with them.

Appears that the nasty flu bug is back full force in my house...icky.

OK, my mom's taxes are ready to go to the accountant so I will head to the post office when I leave.

I can now DIS with a clear conscience.

 

[helenabear]

Boards have been bad for me this morning and I needed soemthing to keep me busy today

Steph, I hope everyone feels better soon!

Hmmm... looks like Lorraine is sneaking around...

Yay!!!! Carol has her taxes done!!!!

Someone say "Mardi Gras"?

 

[mickeyfan1]

Good Morning to all of you!

Hmm, I am no where near as good as Lou catching up, but lets see what I can do.

Today marks the end of Mardi Gras. Great Weimeraner, Lou.

Stephanie's family is sick, that's the bad news. What she didn't share is this is no school week for NH, so maybe when they all return to school, all the germs will be out of the system.

Carol got her mother's taxes done. Yea!!!

SB has a sneaky smiley.

E! is having DIS problems (I was too, ended up powering down the modem)

Cami's husband is a peach! So sweet of him to leave the lovely flowers.

LTM needs sucking up lessons as she is spending the day with the boss. Actually, I think she does really well, and her boss is the one getting pointers!

Our little Melissa across the pond is on the Grand Adventure of seeking a new job. With her talents and spunk, she will be employed in no time, I think!

I know I missed a few, so sorry.

Now for me! I don't know what got into me, but all the Mardi Gras talk made me order a King Cake, to be delivered today via Fed Ex. This will be a treat, we have never had one. Last night Pete was looking for a treat, he didn't want ice cream, he did want cookies. He NEVER wanted sweets in the past, but lately, he has decided that they are not bad, just no frosted cakes! All of this is fine with me, I love to bake, and haven't been able to in years. Something else to look forward to at the new house.

That's all I have, so boring.

Cami - what a nice DH you have there. always nice when they don't need a special day to do something nice.

Marsha - good catch up! i'm craving brownies, can you make some for me?

Honey, I will bake you a batch, but you will have to wait till June. I can see it now, I will spend every day baking and mailing!

I have some "Cheater" cookies in the fridge. If I cover the pizza stone with foil, I should be able to bake some later. You would never know my son is a chef by the looks of my poorly equipped kitchen.

Carol, I forgot to ask if the flute choir will go to state. I know her band goes to state competition a week from today. I wonder if they do the ensembles at the same time? Glad you got the taxes done. Nothing feels nicer than to know that you have a clear conscience to do what you want to do.

Glad to hear EB is feeling better. Now we need to send pixie dust Stephs way, I guess.

Cami, what a sweet guy you've got there!

Marsha, King Cake is good! Enjoy.

Lou, I loved the dog pic. He looks thrilled with the whole situation.

SB, were you sneaking up on someone's brownies?

Amy informed me ("by the way") 5 minutes before we went out the door, that she needed some props for her play practice. That child is going to be the end of me with her "by the way"s.

Allen is no longer acting mad at me. That's the great thing about our relationship. We can spit nails one minute, but things blow over pretty fast. Tonight we better watch his movie or I'm toast!

LOL MP!

I never heard of King Cake before. Did I miss a picture of it?

I thought you meant he was no longer acting and now he is really mad!

SB ~ Click Here For King Cake I had no idea what it was either...

 

[mickeyfan1]

SB - King Cake is a Mardi Gras tradition. It is a round or oval cake, ususally iced with white runny icing and then liberally coated with purple, gold, and green sugar. And inside each cake is a tiny nekked baby, the person that gets the piece with the baby has to buy the cake for next years party. If this works, here is a picture of one:

edited to correct the horrid spelling errors.

 

[shamrock bunch]

Anything that involves eating a cake, I guess is a good thing! Is it a moist cake or harder type bread?

 

[mickeyfan1]

From what I have seen and been told, it is more like a coffee cake, but someone told me that the best ones she has had were made from phylo, which I think would be yummy. When I was looking for one yesterday, I saw that some are filled with stuff like cream cheese or pie filling, etc. When mine gets here, I'll let you know what it's like.

For the record, Mardi Gras started in the US in Mobile, AL.

I just always feel the need to point that out this time of year.
