    I plan a full scale chocolate binge this evening. I have been looking forward to it for weeks.

    Spent so much time and energy devising My Lenten Projects I am *now* under *terrible pressure*at the last minute to think up some Projects for The Day Before.
    Now how cool is that? I deserve a medal for such appropriate prioritizing!

    It's called Fasnacht.

    and I haven't had ANYTHING so far.

    I'll get some deep-fried stuff on sale tomorrow LOL...
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    In PA Dutch it's Faschnaut.

    I'm from PA.

    Someone brought in like 20 boxes of donuts and spread them around the company's different buildings.

    I love donuts.

    It´s "Fasching" here. I have eaten two krapfen (doughnuts) and then moved smoothly on to the British pancake tradition.
