Laissez les Bon temps roulet!!

As many of my friends list members have noted, today is Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday. And every year, New Orleans Girl's mom sends her a king cake for the office to enjoy.

This year? I got the baby. I totally found it the funniest way possible - I was slicing a piece of cake, and there were the feet. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's supposed to bring good luck, but we'll see.

Me: Yankees Girl got the baby the first year, and she got cancer. That's bad luck!
New Orleans Girl: Yeah, but she didn't die, did she?

0.o Maybe reading Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is coloring my worldview.

I finally watched Friday's Dollhouse. All I can say is that I'm going to have to re-watch the entire run of Middleman now. *shudder*

And now, back to the working stuff. I just had to note that down for the record.

"Getting the Baby" in my work history has always been the harbinger of getting a new job by the next Mardi Gras.

Shoulder to the wheel!

traditionally, if you get the baby, you also have to buy the next king cake.

Well HEY THERE, stranger!!

I would, if there was anywhere around here that made a king cake worth a damn. My coworker's mom sends them priority mail from New Orleans every year!

Oh Hi! I could ship some up for you and then you'll surprise everyone... or you could make your own!
