mardi gras is coming! mardi gras is coming! so, we all know my penchant for procrastination, correct? my place is a wreck and i’ll have people in and out all weekend. it’s the first weekend so it’s not gonna be crazy, but still.
i spent all evening shopping, washing, putting away and cleaning… and i STILL haven’t made it to the living room. except for the bar. i cleaned the bar. priorities. right now, i’m taking a break to watch without a trace only to find out it’s a re-run. i don’t mind re-runs, but this one was kinda lame. since it’s a lame one, i decided to go ahead and break anyway. as you can tell.
i think i may wait until lunch, tomorrow, to finish the living room. or maybe after work. i dunno. the living room just mainly needs “pick-up”. i think i’m done for the nite. i even made a trip to the laundromat to wash all my blankets! damn, i’m good! i needed clean blankies for friends that are staying over next weekend.
to tell you a little bit about the first and second weekends of mardi gras… the first weekend i usually spend on the seawall. there are two parades. the day parade, i hang out with co-worker friends that don’t see a lot. co-workers meaning, i talk to them on the phone a lot but we don’t work in the same department. the nite parade is reserved for the team. my cycling team goes to jeff’s moms. she always has a big bounce thing in the backyard and we watch the parade from a block away. afterwards, we get the grub ON! every year, she has shrimp taquitos, crawfish taquitos, homemade mac & cheese, gumbo, and much more! last year, she let me take some taquitos home! i had ‘em for breakfast the next morning.
another good thing about the first weekend is that my “annual” friend may become my semi-annual friend. she’s coming in saturday to join in the festivities.
