Weekend round up

[pinksonia]

Well now, I haven't updated in forever or, you know, a couple of days.  It's much more difficult to remember to write something on my four days, when I  actually get to do something, than on the ten days when I get to sit in a hotel room after work. 

1. Finished sewing a bag that I've been working on on-and-off for over a year.  I was way more on than off.  Also managed to crap out the tension on my sewing machine again, so I'll spend part of next four-day fixing that.
2. Read up on some archaeological theory.   I've been meaning to do this for a while and finally dragged my butt down to the Tulane Library to do so.  Hopefully, I can discipline myself enough to make it a weekly occurance.
3. Went to see a cabaret show.  I'm still still here, me.  I have no idea about the title other than it's a show the actor has been doing yearly (and up-dating) since "the storm" as everyone call it.  Lots of local humor, much of which I didn't entirely get, not being originally from New Orleans. 
   
4. St. Patrick's day parade.  This is a lot like Mardi Gras (they even recycle a number of the same floats) but in addition to throwing beads and cups they also throw out the makings of an Irish stew.  I caught two carrots, an onion, and two potatoes. 
   
5. Crawfish boil. Yeah! yummy crawfish season. 
   
6. Attended a bar party thrown by the two project managers who recently left my company for us lower level employees.  Kind of random, and there was much bitching.

Sounds like fun. Glad you were able to get some things done and have a good time. I am so looking forward to this party I'm going to Saturday....it's been awhile since I let loose.

I hope you have fun. Everyone needs a chance to let loose.

The idea of a vegetable-throwing Mardi Gras is hilarious. Sounds like you had a nice weekend :)
I miss my Sydney festival :( Ah well.
