Blame It On Mardi Gras...

...for my lack of posts for the last five days.

My best friend and I left for New Orleans on Friday and drove back to Atlanta on Monday. Man, did we enjoy ourselves. Saturday was fun! It was our first day on the town and we just mingled and worked our way through and on Bourbon Street. We got our beads! Now, I must give credit to my best friend, she worked for her beads! But, Mardi Gras (or what we experienced) wasn't like everyone says. We were given beads just for the hell of it. People were just throwing beads left and right. My best friend kissed a guy and gave her number out for her beads. She got some good ones too. Whereas, I was just getting beads by asking. *giggle*

Now, Sunday had to be the best day. We enjoyed ourselves more that day and got more beads. We were on Bourbon and went in more places earlier than the day before. We hung out on Bourbon all day. It was fun just being around your loved ones, experiencing once in a lifetime (possibly) moments and watching the people act a fool for Mardi Gras.

Now, Mardi Gras day was yesterday, so maybe it was worse. But, we encountered nothing harmful (not saying we couldn't have), but we weren't sexually harassed and the other myths and rumors you hear that goes on during Mardi Gras. So, I guess we celebrated Mardi Gras weekend!

So, we left New Orleans about 2am and arrived back to Atlanta at 10am (no we don't drive slow! We stopped twice). I was DEFINITELY pushing 100 mph. (shHhHhh...MY secret). But since I arrived, I had to go straight to work then, since my best friend is still in town, we went grocery shopping, cooked and I went to sleep at about 11pm. I had to wake up at 6:45am for an 8am class and attend other classes til' 3pm and to finish my day off, I had to work til' 6pm. So, that's been my daily routine since I've been back. No sleep! Which is why I also haven't blogged. But, here are pictures!

Enjoy...we sure did!!
