And then there was Mario...

Did you see him? Didyoudidyoudidyou? Did you see him there, in the audience, sitting, with his mom, dimples flashing, eyes sparkling, last night on Dancing with the Stars. Did you see him??? My Magnificent Mario. He made a cameo appearance. I wonder if he was thinking “Man, that Billy Rae Cyrus is a putz – I was soooo much better than that guy”? I mean, isn’t that what you would be thinking? Maybe Billy R.C. is better as a solo dancer, I don’t know, but that man can not dance with a woman! Although I’d still like to see John “Cliff Claven the annoying mailman” Ratzenberg voted off first. That man just annoys me. No particular reason, he just does. So there it is, my review of DWTS for the week. What did you think? I know you’ve been watching :-)

Busy week. We have May Baskets to deliver and gymnastics and dance recital practice and swimming, and a house to clean, and a birthday party to plan, and I have a haircut – which my hair is totally aware of since it looks better today than it has in a month! Seriously, I like busy weeks but don’t tell anyone.

So about those May Baskets. Did you deliver May Baskets when you were a kid? And did you do it anonymously? We used to go to the door, put the Dixie cup on the porch, ring the doorbell and RUN! It was so much fun. I like May Day better than Halloween. Oh, and my mom would always pop popcorn and fill the cups half full with it before we added candy. I hated that. I mean really who likes stale popcorn. But everyone did it. It made the candy go further or something. Just like sometimes she would add oatmeal and egg to the hamburger before making patties. YUCK! Although I do think people were thriftier in the 70’s. All that fuel conservation and all :-)
Okay that’s it for today.

ANGIE! It is SO nece to see your happy little cupcake self on this blog thread! How I have missed you!

I LOVE the may day baskets....something I think I will start next year, when we are HOPEFULLY in a new neighborhood.

Hoping you are well, I haven't blogged in a bit, but DID add some pics from Dianey a few days ago...

Anyway, thinking of you (as always!)

That is just so sweet. We used to do something for May Day too.. but nothing that nice. Love it!

Now if we could get Rob Lowe on that DWTS! I would even watch. :)

We used to make May Day baskets in Sunda School and then go out and deliver them. Hmmm...maybe we will have to do this next year. Or maybe JuneDay baskets!

Had to laugh about the good hair day. That always happens to me too. Never fails.

I totally remember the May basket thing! My mom used to make them for us when we were super little... She tried filling the bottoms with trail mix before she added candy. Hated that too. This year, I was bound and determined to make and deliver May baskets. Then, I thought about making some for my family and posting a picture on my blog. Then, I thought about finding *pictures* of May baskets online that inspired me... Yeah, since it's May *second* now, you can see how far I went with THAT. Sheesh.
