Originally Posted By smedley I don't recognise hardly anyone on the list of people for DWTS either! I guess we will have to see how it goes. Thanks for hiding the coffee for me Amazed, it's much appreciated, I am really needing it this week! I definitely think it's time to decorate the plane for St Patrick's day. I will take Baileys in my coffee rather than whiskey if that's ok!

Although right this minute I just want to crawl into a dark place with my blankie ! One of my closest friends since we were teens, just had a stroke, and the 11 granddaughter of another friend just passed away yesterday from cancer. She had just started her 3rd chemo session but her body just gave out. I swear this year just has to get better !!! I know it will, just have to keep the faith !!
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 murfsmom, I am also sending you a big hug! I'll set up an area in the back of the plane with lots of Disney blankets, soothing Disney music and a variety of teas. Rest for awhile and let us know when you are ready for the decorating party.

Every cake I saw had the 3 colors of icing. Is that mandatory? If so, I'll just drink my hurricane first and I won't notice the funky icing Sounds fun! I think I need to start celebrating Mardi Gras
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD Yes, the King cake is supposed to be gold, green, and purple. The all mean something, but I totally forgot what. Maybe Labuda can enlighten us. I have only had a hurricane once at that was in New Orleans. I think the place is called Patty O'Briens. It was yummy, but kicked me on my butt. So after one, we probably wouldn't even notice the colors.
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD Our NO officee did send us a King Cake and it was yummy. It had a custard filling. I had never had one before that had the filling. Yummmmmm
Originally Posted By Labuda No clue what the colors mean, but courtesy of wiki I verified what I already knew- green, gold, and purple are the traditional Mardi Gras colors.
