Fat Tuesday ! For those of you who celebrate . The office and the ones I collected celebrated on Fat Monday . What ? It’s a  Thing !  So I ended up making 4 king cakes. Not that I wanted to. It just happened that way . I was so distracted the 1st go round I forgot the eggs. I put them in at the end. And even though it mixed . Derek was convinced it would not turn out.  So there I was making another batch .  One Cake went to work . 2nd was cut into pieces and given to children and Katie , 3rd was given to my mom and the 4th was over cooked. I just happen to work with Katie’s Dad who came for cake and his wife wants a whole cake. I suppose I can make one on my own. I don’t so well at the rolling of the dough. I’m not tall enough.  But I will give it a go on my own .

King Cake

Life has resumed as normal . No pick up at 3pm and definitely less cooking of dinner and no kitchen to clean up . I had really good intentions of going walking last night . And it didn’t happen. I had the shoes on . But nope .  Took the trash out. Found some clothes for the next day , took a shower and climbed into bed every early . And someone might say I was sad. I’m not even close. I totally forgot to lay out my chicken to cook this week AGAIN ! . And I’m not going home for lunch.

My dear little friend did not have  a good morning . 1st she was stopped by DPS going 10 over the speed limit. Thankfully no ticket. 2nd she was rear ended in the school drop off line by no other than a Prius . She questions why it wasn’t the Yukon or Tahoe. But the silly Prius that just messed with her back hatch door and seal. So she dropped the car to get a estimate and she is starving . Fingers are crossed for Ban Moon.

March 20-21 I will head to Oxford Mississippi to take the Pumpkin’s graduation photos. I really really hope they turn out. Because I have said it before I am not a photographer! I give it a good try though. I have had very happy un-paying customers. And that’s a really long way to go for nothing . But she has assured me it will be fine and there are 6 friends and she has sent the rate all in cash . Smart cookie.

And Friday has finally come the King cakes are made and there is hotel book in Corpus with my name on it. And I am so ready to go home for a 24 hours. It may seem like a long drive for some but it’s not for Derek or I . I should report back but tales to tell come Monday .

Have a good weekend Darlings

Until next time

Infinite X’s and O’s
