The Day of SIN and Pancakes

Yes friends, today is the DAY OF SIN aka

MARDI GRAS!

People get hammered, do stupid things

and act a fool. 

All in the name of God.

WAIT WHAT!?!?!

Just kidding.

People act a fool cause they are fools ;)!

I may not be on Bourbon Street tonight
[PTL]
but, I'm still celebrating
Mardi Gras in style.

I'm wearing my green and purple
and of course a smile.

 I'll also be enjoying a bit of the 

KING'S CAKE 

I brought to work. 

YUM!

Did you know that Mardi Gras came from the church?

The term 'FAT TUESDAY' comes from the Protestant and Catholic church,

in reference to 'fatting up' before the fasting of Lent. 

Many churches participate in SHROVE Tuesday

instead of Mardi Gras.

In the past, I've gone to my church for the 

Shrove Tuesday Pancake dinner,

but it's become increasingl

more crowded and a bit of a hassle. 

Honestly, the dinner and activities are really

for the children of the church,

but Mama B has always

asked me to join in the fun. 

 This year though, C and I are going to have

our own lil Pancake Tuesday dinner ourselves. 

Yummmmy, I can't WAIT for these GLORIOUS 
pillows of deliciousness

to melt in my mouth tonight.
