Happy Easter Peeps!

Oh joyous day...Lent has ended and Easter has arrived! I am happy to report with the exception of a few slip-ups, I have succeeded in my Lenten promise and find that today I am much less the swearing sailor that I was 40 days ago. Easter also finds me happily full of Peeps! Oh Peeps! How I love your marshmellowy, sugary goodness. And, my darling husband is frightened of them, so that box of Peeps my parents gave us yesterday, are mine...all mine. (Except for the one little Peep that I will slip under Rick's pillow to scare him!)

It's funny how divided people are when it comes to the topic of Peeps. At work, there are only two of us in my department who have a true love for Peeps. She and I buy multiple boxes at after Easter sales and share with each other during the long days of Spring and Summer when there is nary a Peep in sight. And lucky for me, she has perfected the science of making stale Peeps. (If you've never had slightly stale Peeps, you are missing out on a Peep perfected.) A stale Peep has been exposed ever so slightly to the air, for about two weeks, and becomes a crunchy/chewy version of it's former self. Yum!

Oh! And there's one more reason I love Peeps. These sweet, little chicks and bunnies, realize the importance of research and often donate their little bodies in the name of science. (Peep Research) How could you not love such a generous and giving candy?

Bunnies are Deadly>Killer Rabbit<

Sorry for the neglect...we've been em...busy. Yeah, that's it.

This is quick but I needed to post this. It's festive and timely, plus it just might get my wife to blog about the scariest thing about this time of the year. Hint, small, gooey, sugar, scary, colourful...yuck.
