Who Dat?

More to come tomorrow.  Exhausted tonight. 

I promise I'm not dragging this out, but if I try to post everything right now,  you'll fall asleep, too, only from the dullards.  Tomorrow.  Seriously.

Update:  BOSSY is the new Marlon Brando or And then BOSSY Yelled "Stella!" (the one where I meet BOSSY)

Don't BOSS Me

Hey, all you BOSSY readers!
I see you wondering who BOSSY's stalker is.

That would be me.

Come back later tonight for lots of photos of the back of BOSSY'S neck.

A lot like this one that I would insert here if Typepad would get back online and let me insert any photos.

Like the one of BOSSY's shoulder that I would insert right here.

And, oh yeah, the one of BOSSY looking gorgeous in Cafe Du Monde.  You might have to email Typepad for that one.  They may have taken BOSSY seriously and now won't let me upload anything with the word "bossy" in the file.

In the meantime, here is your official
BOSSY Stalking Timeline a la Velveteen Mind:

1st:  BOSSY is the new Dooce
2nd:  my Gulf Coast BOSSY bumper sticker tour w/ Oh, the Joys!
3rd:  BOSSY is the new Napoleon

Update:  BOSSY is the new Marlon Brando or And then BOSSY Yelled "Stella!" (the one where I meet BOSSY)

Blooming Marvelous Easter 2008

Ooh, where ever did you come up with such a cute idea for Easter cupcakes, Megan?
*** Why, from my Blooming Marvelous ditto sister, Annie!

I have a feeling they don't look anything like what Annie had described, but my family utterly adored them.  A new Easter staple, I am quite confident. 

Thank you to everyone who sent in Easter cupcake recipes, however, I probably should have mentioned that anything requiring more than, say, three ingredients and four steps is too much for this Domestic Dumb Bunny.  This is why Annie's recipe was spectacular:  3 ingredients and 4 steps!  She is a genius and she knows me very well.

Now, on with the rest of our quick illustrated guide to my family's Easter...

Goose says, "What?  You got a problem with my egg dipping by hand?"
Megan thinking, "Wowza!  My kid is the next Jackson Pollock!"
*** Pants doesn't do normal poses.  Crazy only, thank you.
And notice not a drop of egg dye on those 3 year old fingers.
I live the perfect illustration of the Birth Order Theory.
*** Holy Hidden Eggs, Batman!
Pants takes Easter egg hunting seriously.
*** Hey!  There ain't no candy in this egg!  What am I supposed to do with this?
Goose takes Easter egg hunting for the crock it really is.
***

Finally, a glimpse into our family on Easter night, on the jagged edge of the sugar high comedown:

Listen closely and you can hear my dad say, "You wanna see mine--  I'm gonna crazy myself into the bar and watch some Westerns."  Classic.  And, yes, my folks have a full bar in their house.  Welcome to a Mississippi Easter.

Hope you had a happy Easter, ya'll!
