Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter to all Care C-ers! Yes, to all 4 of you. ;P The Mistrot household has some silly traditions that Id like to share. First is Bunny Bread. This delicious delicacy is an orange sweet bread that is shaped into bunnies. They are a pain to make. I've been up since 6 am working on these bad boys. That's why they're iy made once a year. I'd like to give mad props to my Kitchen Aide mixer. The kneading hook is amazeballs. 

Second crazy tradition is to poc eggs. I have extreme Cajuns on my side of the family, and egg pocing is a Cajun tradition. Each person takes a hard boiled Easter egg and pair off. They hold little end to little end and one person gently taps the others egg until someone's egg cracks. The one that cracks is the loser, and the winner goes on to poc another day. 

Lastly the egg hunts. Yes, we hid eggs for the kids and yadda yadda. The best part is after that. Once the kids find all the eggs, they then go and hide them for the adults. Then the bloodbath begins. 

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you have lots of yummy food and family around you. Hippity Hoppity Hugs!

Book review: A Sea of Stars by Amy A Bartol

Kricket is half Alameeda and half Rafe. Both sides want her for her powers.  This is a futuristic book with aspects of fantasy. I really liked it. It's the second in he Kricket series. This book makes me want to harass the author to write the next one already.  5 stars for story. 3 stars for the lame turn.

4 stars overall.

Spoiler alert below:

The only think I found perturbing is what the hell is the mysterious little sister that was introduced. Now, in book 2 we found out about an imaginary friend that was really the sister? Weak 

I'm going to lose it one day.

What am I going to lose one day? My southern filter. You know, that little voice inside your head (that Jamie doesn't have) that says things such as, "bless your heart" and "most unfortunate" when you really just want to say "f*ck off".  As you may have seen from previous posts I have a love hate relationship with facebook. I love to watch the drama and hate the stupid equally. So the filter I am talking about is pertaining to fb. One day I am just going to lose it and type everything I think. Heh!

The Inquisitor: this person asks randoms questions on fb. Ex: Does anybody knows where I can find this one thing? Does anybody know where this event is happening?  I'm sorry, did you mean to type this in Google?

The Vaguebooker: this person is always hurt about something someone did- but never gives the details. Ex- You know who you are and what you did and I'm so hurt! Yeah, unless you're going to dish I don't care. 

The Perfect Parent: this persons sole purpose on FB is to brag about their kids. That is their only posts. No one likes their kids that much. Seriously, NO ONE. 

Of course there are others, I just did my top three. One day I'm just going to post what I think and enjoy the fall out. Till then, I will just continue my love hate relationship with FB. It's like a bad boyfriend.

Book Review: The Palace Job by Patrick Weeks

Ok I really enjoyed this one. Basically a rag tag gang of anti Heroes goes on a quest and inadvertently save the world. Naughty unicorns, creepy priestess, and your mama jokes abound. 5 billion stars. I loved it.

I love you more when you're gone.

My oldest son, Stephen, is off at college. I can honestly say it's pretty awesome. He's off in his own world, doing his own thang, and NOT eating my food. Do you know how nice it is to go to the pantry and see food? It's brilliant. I haven't had to hide to eat a snack in months. Living with boys is like eating with a horde of locust. You have food on the stove; they pass through and total desolation. Nothing but empty pots and pans. You know what else is great? When he comes home, I actually want to see him. There's no time for teenage theatrics, it's just nice adult conversation. Now, to get the other two out of the house.

Omg the TV is off!

Yes, yes I did. I hit the off button on the magic box of entertainment. The kids panicked, the dogs looked scared, and the hubs asked if I was ok. I just was tired of the noise. The TV goes on first thing in the morning and other then turning it off when we leave for work, well it stays on. Let's just say I am sick of the noise. I think as a society we have gotten too dependent on the instant gratification of entertainment that TV provides. How many times do you turn it on for background noise? Yeah when archaeologists of the future dig us up they are going to wonder what the altar of the black boxes are. Hahah we even have a small portable box with us at all times! Now I wonder, has the 24 hour news feed, with its constant reporting on anything to stay relevant and gain ratings, had a negative impact on how we view and report our personal news? I'm referring to fb and the need to share every aspect of our day. Examples

"Going to go work out", "gonna have lunch" etc. you know- those posts. Well, enough musing for me; I'm going to enjoy the silence and watch a book. I'm also going to think about Depeche Mode. Stupid ear worm. 

Wtf Wednesday

So- this is so wtf I am going to make it today's post. The people in this area are all up in arms over a board game. I mean this has gotten more traffic over the last two days then a mourning dog at a soilders funeral. It's insane. The offending game? Ouija. Oh and it's pink. Hellfire rains down!
Jamie's note: Of course the pink Ouija is more dangerous then the regular version because it will attract gay demonic spirits. Probably. :D

I can't even.  A Tl;DR version of the ouija board- basically it was harmless till the movie Exorcist came out now everyone thinks it's the devil. Jamie Note: Ha! See the Exorcist "came out" gay demonic spirits I tell ya! 

But you know group thought > science and logic.
