So this was my best mardi gras ever. Caught all of the parades, and even made it down to frenchman tues. afternoon. Hope you all had a fun and safe one as well!
I LOVE MARDI GRAS!!! It helps take my mind off of everything else. And this year, same as ever, I have waited til the very last minute to get a costume together. Any ideas?
it is still good days and bad days...my day to day life is roughly the same, but when I think about what we have lost, that is when it gets scary. and we only lost possibilities, not people or things...

I know I would feel better if I tried to get out and meet some people (my friends are scattered around the country), but it seems like so much work.
