The Losers~Dishes can wait, life can't. Come sit a spell! Winners should walk away.

The police have been to my neighbors house three times in the last week. Apparently, they have a problem with their phone, it keeps dialing 911, so they have to come check it out every time. Except the neighbors live in Pennsylvania and aren't here, so I have to go over and let them in the house to make sure there are no dead bodies (seriously, that's what the cop told me).

Holy crap! They are going to get fined! If you have the key, maybe you should go over and unplug all their phones.

I did, however, agree to also make potato salad and some kind of cutesy dessert. I want to make something really winnerish. Any ideas?

Strawberry Shortcake?

Oreo Cheesecake?

 

[fltwinmom]

Jello eastereggs?

 

[Mkrop]

I love love LOVE dying eggs! It's my favorite Easter tradition!

We decided today to skip the ham thing and have a big corn-dog party for Easter. My mom and dad used to make corn dogs for this big neighborhood carnival when I was a kid, and they're the best corn dogs ever. The secret recipe has been passed to me, but we only make them every few years.

No pie anything but pie.

 

[1Prince2Princesses]

You guys are silly.

I was thinking maybe some cute decorated cupcakes or something. Nothing involving dissolving rainbows, though.

I'm thinking with all the butter I got on sale this week maybe DD and I will make Chocolate chip cookies this afternoon At least I'll be on the kids "goo" list for a couple hours

What is a goo list? Sorry, it made me laugh

DH was psyched that I got butter in the shape of a lamb for Easter. Now that is weird to me but hey if likes it I can oblige, I guess

So this means you are having the sacrificial lamb for Easter dinner, then? I'm cracking myself up here--the kids are looking at me funny

Is anyone dyeing eggs?

Am I a crappy mom if I don't this year?

Nope. You remind me that I have to buy eggs. My kids are 10 and 14 this year and we still do it . They like deviled eggs, though

Strawberry Shortcake? Oreo Cheesecake?

I have a recipe for brandy alexander cheesecake. Why not have your cheesecake and booze, too?

Jello eastereggs?

We do jello beans here! You could always make some grown-up ones

They won't get fined. The cops know it's in the phone line. The problem is with the wiring in the box outside of their house. When it gets wet, it acts funny.

It happens to many, many people down here. Including myself. THAT was not a fun night.

Cop shows up at the door. It's 9pm, two days before Christmas, I'm in some really funky (yet comfy) old clothes, DS(six at the time) was still running around the house.

Lights are whizzing in the driveway. Two cops are at my door. "Ma'am, we've had a 911 call from this address."

"This address?"

"Is there anyone here with you, ma'am?" the cop says as he's shining a flashlight in my face. Duh, the lights are on, why do they need a flashlight?

"Me and my kids."

"Can we come in and take a look around?"

"Well, sure, if you can get in, just be careful, there's toys all over the place."

"Did anything happen here tonight, ma'am? Any reason for someone to call 911?"

"My phone isn't even working. I couldn't call 911 even if someone died."

Must've been the wrong thing to say, because the cop looked at me funny. "I'll need to check your phone ma'am." He's still holding the flashlight like it's a club and he's going to need it to beat the crap out of somebody.

I go to get him the phone, to prove no one called 911, because the phone was dead.

Next thing I know, DS is telling the cops, "You know, my daddy left."

Now, how bad does that sound? I know the cops didn't believe me, but they eventually left, telling me to get in touch with the phone company to have that fixed right away. How in the heck am I going to get in touch with the phone company when I don't have a phone and live out in the middle of nowhere??

And here's a bunny cake
that you could make for your Easter dessert. Looks kinda winnerish to me.

 

[1Prince2Princesses]

Omigosh! I haven't made a bunny cake in years! I might just have to do that. Thanks for the reminder.

It's good that the cops know what's going on with the phone. Sucks that you guys have that problem, though.

I can not believe my kids are still sleeping. Their daddy must not have put them to bed until very late last night. I think I better wake them up, or they'll never go to bed tonight. I'll give them 5 more minutes.

 

[mirthmaiden]

I'm having beer and skittles.

Laundry what is this laundry you speak of.....

This is why we all have piles that need to be stepped over bc we are here instead of doing laundry

 

[fltwinmom]

In other news....

We went out on our boat this weekend. I, being the winner mom that I am, coated my DDs in SPF 30 and SPF 50 on their faces. I, on the other hand, remembered the 30 on my body, but must have been pre occupied with making sure that the kids had their bathing suits not on backwards, that I fogot the 50 on my face.

I feel asleep in the sun and severly burnt the crap out of my face.

Sunday and Monday I looked like a giant swollen applehead. Yesterday, it turned a very dark brown (I have Olive skin, so when I tan - I TAN)

And today, my skin is peeling off in patches. I resemble a brown and pink dalmation at this point.

Lol, should I lock myself in my house until it's over??

You do laundry? Are you folding it, too? Are you in the right place?

Folding the laundry is OK - just not your underwear!!

We usually make those cupcakes! We use green coconut and jelly beans, then take pipe cleaners, bend them and stick them in the cupcake to make it look like an easter basket.

Ummm.. YES.

Why oh why did I have to read your thread, Mkrop?

I know that pie lady gets on my nerves, but I had to look anyway.
