Me And My Peeps



Peeps by Just Born



Peeps oh so sugary Peeps!  You either love em or hate em.  I am one (obviously) that loves them!  Part of it sentimental and part of it because I like marshmallows... and sugar!  Those of you that like them either swipe them up when they are soft and smooshy or you purposely sit them out so they can be hard & stretchy.  Weird, I know!  I just found out that one of my coworkers dips hers in chocolate.  Now she doesn't have to because they sell them that way, too! 

When I was a little girl Easter was a big deal.  My mom would dress me in a pretty yellow Easter dress, white tights, patent leather shoes and a big hat with the string around my chin to keep it on.
I really wish that I could find a favorite photo of my mother and I on Easter.  She had a fabulous platinum bouffant hairdo a classy shift dress on and we are laughing hysterically!  No doubt my dad said something that had us practically on the floor.  He's quite the jokester!
Anyway, the "Easter bunny" would leave me a basket somewhere in the house that I had to find.  It was filled with lots of yummies like a chocolate bunny (with a stunned look on his face because he was about to be eaten), jelly beans, and little trinkets.   No Peeps... not yet
When I went to my Nana's house to visit ... that's when the Peeps came out.  I loved her dearly and I loved that she was the one that always gave me those Peeps.  Every year.   I miss her so!
