Pączki Day, Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday

[dreemkin]

Whatever you call it haha! What are you doing today?

[dreemkin]

I'm Polish so I should be eating Pączki (puunch-kee) today but I don't have any bc I forgot it was Fat Tuesday. Haha. Gma and Gpa are coming over today to visit. I am carless. We might go looking at vans tonight if DH gets home with enough daylight. That's all I got so far today.

Update: no mice caught last night and no evidence of one. So we will set for a few more days in a couple locations and keep our fingers crossed.

dreemkin boo for car trouble and mice ugh.


We have the Olympics on pretty consistently some stuff we aren't as interested in but we enjoy sports. Today I really wish I had a king cake man we still aren't close enough for them.

Today I have a one year old! A is having a slightly Mardi gras themed first birthday tonight.

I thought about trying to make king cake for the party @aggibug but I'm not that brave.

Good luck van shopping dreemkin!

kartish I thought his birthday was coming up! Happy Birthday A!

[aggiebug]

Aww kartish happy birthday A!

I have made king cakes before but didn't get with it this year. They really weren't too bad to make.

kartish Happy Birthday to A!

dreemkin We had mice at our old house and we've caught one in our basement at the new house. They just find their way in when it gets cold outside. I bought a bunch of jars and plastic containers from Ikea to use in our pantry so I don't have to worry about them getting into our food - I know what you mean about that ick factor. We've had some success walking around the outside of the house and plugging up any of the ways they might be getting in with steel wool.

Things are finally starting to pick up at work which I am thankful for because I was getting a little bored but also hoping it doesn't ramp up much more. It is very different from the last few companies I've been at, definitely a big culture change.

Happy Mardi Gras, y’all! We drove home from the coast today. Just got home & about to start unloading the van.

Happy birthday A kartish - also king cake is yeast bread so it’s harder than cake but easier than some things.
Good luck van shopping dreemkin

dmorgendorffer thanks for the moral support! I guess it's true: "when you have a house, you have a mouse". I like you plastic container idea. Fortunately, they did not get into anything in the pantry but I could do better storing my food.
