I am not sure why, but
I enjoy celebrating Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday.
I think it began the year my friend Barb and I made King's cakes for our
youth group kids. It was the week before
Fat Tuesday, but it was fun and different.
I thought about making them this year, but I am making an extra run into
town during the day for Madelle, killing my timeline to bake. Also, with the weather, my RA keeps life a
little precarious.
When I picked up
Madelle, she had a marvelous idea. She
wanted to have a Fat Tuesday, Mario Cart night with pizza and brownies. Perfect!!!
Neither of us had to decide on a game or prepare a scenario for our
D&D night. I didn't need to
cook. Dominos delivered pizza and lava
cakes. Sweet!!! And even better, Bruin bars were donated for
the celebration by Barb. Not much is
better then a Bruin bar.
We started out the
night eating dinner and playing Mario Smash Brothers. I have never played this before. I died every single round!!! However, I did enjoy myself. Next, we played Mario Cart. I didn't do much better, as in the three of
them beat me quite handily. The good
part is I didn't come in last to all the computer generated players. Yes, I am getting better at this game.
The evening was
perfect! Okay, I ached and hurt like
crazy, so I let Madelle have my controller when hers died. I went and took my Humira shot which helped
almost instantly. I hung out and watched
them play while throwing the stuffed hedgehog for Leo. Afterwards, we all chatted for a bit. I sent the lava cake and pizza with Elaina
and James. I put the Bruin bars in the
freezer for after Easter. I wasn't going
to share those delicious treats:-)
Today is the first day
of Lent, my favorite religious season of the year.
