Peeps and a non-Curlygirl post!

Because I was so frightened by crabby cousin, I submit to you a new post, introducing the world of peeps. They are the delightful and delicious (yet of mysterious origin and composition) treats of Easter. As with many new world marvels, they have been bastardized by mass marketers, trying to make them appropriate for any holiday, such as orange pumpkin-shaped peeps, or white ghosts, etc. However, as the name implies, the only true original is the beautiful yellow, chick-shape peeps!!! And the true 5x4 row/column layout of the box o' peeps is unmistakable. Some like them soft and chewy and fresh out of the box. The sound of the cellophone breaking open, a siren's song bidding one to gluttony. Others prefer to open the package and give them a day or two to be exposed and to harden and become oddly like styrofoam. I fall into the first group, and I have no idea why people prefer them the second way! I believe there is pending legislation to outlaw this, as it is simply so wrong.
The site linked to this post (which Curlygirl did not have to provide) details several important medical studies on these tasty little critters. So a great big shout out for me peeps - PEEEP!
(Wow! That actually made me uneasy!)

My sign is the Crab. Can you tell?

Ok girls, I have posted the last FOUR entries on this blog. What's up with that?

I'm really looking forward to the birthday celebration and SO excited that Cuz is joining us! Other Sister made dinner reservations for 8 p.m. I wonder how early we can go to the hotel. Cuz, I hope you're planning to leave your house in the morning -- then we have the whole day! Woo hoo!

Um, what is up with Ann Coulter. I do believe she is SATAN! I've never heard anyone so mean (well except for the whole Fox News Network and the religious right, but you know what I mean.)

And somebody smashed a beer bottle in our driveway the other night. Isn't that rude?!?! Dad drove the car over it and Owain and I walked over it before we realized it was there. Thoughtless drunken neighbor kids. Hrmf!!

Wow, except for the birthday comment, I sound a little out of sorts. Maybe even...Crabby?? I'm not really.

Tiny Fondant Flipflops

Here's some more cake for you. Notice the teeny tiny fondant flipflops! So cute!

Cake!

'nuff said.

Two Cats, Four Cats, Got Any More Cats?

The Dopplegangers!

Do the Charleston!

Hola Cousin! I think that whatever the "good" daughter is thinking is probably right. (But its got to be a little weird!)

So Momogus and I are learning how to play Mah-jongg. You MUST learn!! Its a little bit of a brain twister but I think we're hooked. I just got a Mahjongg set from Ebay! Did you know that there are a series of passes in Mahjongg that is called The Charleston??? Excellent!

And in other news, I'm doing a wedding cake for a co-worker of Momogus's. Her wedding is in June. I'm doing a dry run this weekend. So if you feel like popping down on Sunday, there will be LOTS of cake!




"Oh no! We've got cats in the refrigerator again!"

Romance

Hola chicas,
Any comments from downstate on the upstate new romance? I'm of two minds - the good daughter and the evil daughter!

Scary, kids!

"Why aren't you eating the leftover Easter Bunny Cake?"



"Cause we're ascared of it!!!!!!"

What's next? Baby Asparagus?

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin had their second baby over the weekend and named him...... wait for it.....
MOSES!!!!! Moses and Apple?!?!?! Come on!!!!

Where is our dear cousin? I wish she would post. Sigh. Do you think she even reads the blog anymore? Hmmm.

Aggressive Carrot

Remember when Dad said that the dancing Easter rabbit was holding an "aggressive carrot for balance?" Wa ha ha ha!!! By the way, the little glass Easter decorations were put away within the hour of putting them out. Thank you Earl!!

Okay, I'm gonna say it...

its a mini Lap-Ass.
(and a cat)

Um, YEAH!!!!!

WA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!! This just kills me!!!! Ha ha ha.

This was my day. Sigh.

I WILL be glad when the t-shirts are done.

Hey, thanks for the donuts this morning. That was a wonderful surprise!



Hee hee.

ok, for some reason I am really bothered by all the figure skaters grabbing their skates. They seem to be doing it more and more. Like so...

or this...


I don't know why it bugs me, but it does. Girls, what do you think?

Oh! Did you watch the ladies short program last night? Some skater from Europe was performing. She was so-so. Sandra Bezic (sp?) was saying how she's 27 and this is her third Olympics and she's been competing for 12 years. And to toss a nice comment the skater's way, since the skating wasn't that great, Sandra says something like, "There are some athletes who just love to go to the rink and practice everyday." You know, the skater just loves to skate and compete and winning isn't the end all be all, blah, blah, blah. So Dick Button replies, "Well maybe instead of just practicing everyday, she should think about what she's doing." Wa ha ha ha ha!!! There is silence in response to his comment. (You know Scott Hamilton and Sandra Bezic are like, Whoa Dick! Ease up!) So then Dick says, "I hope that doesn't sound unkind." More awkward silence. IT WAS EXCELLENT!!!!

Men's figure skating is on Feb 14 and Feb 16. Tell Hub that your Valentine's Day and Birthday gifts are that he doesn't have to watch men's figure skating with you since you'll be in J-Town watching it with me! Woo hoo! Cuz, take a few sick days and come on down -- you know you won't regret it!



Come on!!!!

Where did everybody go? Cuz? Momogus?

This is how I'm feeling about a certain place that did not hire me. Grrrrr.
