Yesterday I had Mom, Lisa, Audra, and Pookie Bear’s sister and nephew over to do Pysanky. The weather was rough and the electricity went out but it didn’t matter. We don’t need electricity doing Pysanky! (actually it’s nice to have when removing the wax but we improvised). I told Joan and John about how Pysanky teaches you patience and the temporal quality of life… there’s always a chance you might drop the egg after you’ve spent many hours decorating it. AND THEN I DROPPED MY BEAUTIFUL EGG! I wanted to cry but I stayed calm.

Here are some other eggs I worked on yesterday– they are in various stages of progress.

The problem is I don’t do it for an entire year and so I start off pretty rusty and then I get better with each egg… just in time for Easter to come and go. And then I put the supplies away until next year.

Which reminds me, have you heard about the new CHOCOLATE COVERED PEEPS? When I first heard about them I was intrigued to no end! I could just imagine the sparkly yellow sugar-covered peep drenched in chocolate… I had to experience it! Yesterday I went to ACME to buy Keilbasa and I spied the new Peeps in the Easter aisle. I grabbed one and out in the car I ripped the packaging open like a crack addict* opens up a new pipe and bit the chick’s chocoate head right off. Guess what? It’s NOT a chocolate covered Peep. It’s just a Mallo Cup. There was no sparkly yellow sugar. The marshmallow inside was just filling. And it wasn’t even white! It was yellow! Which kinda reminded me of a Cadbury Creme Egg. I was terribly disappointed. Still it’s worth experiencing for the novelty.

NOTE: I have no idea how Crack works and I just assumed they use a pipe.  If I am wrong and it’s sniffed or shot, forgive me.
