Mardi fucking Gras


Posted by MsWillis

I love Mardi Gras. It is the coolest fucking party ever. I go every year with a group of friends and this year will be no different. We always stay in an apartment owned by one of my friends and it is right off Bourbon Street. So that way, we don’t have far to go to party or to stumble home drunk. Usually it’s the guys who get drunk and we girls have to take care of them, but we don’t really mind. We all love the parades and King Cake parties that we attend as well. Over the years we have made a few local friends who have invited us to the native parties as opposed to just the public celebration.

I learned a lot about the history of Mardi Gras and the traditions. It is an amazing celebration that’s been around for a very long time. I hope I never get too old for Mardi Gras, because I always want to be able to enjoy the festival. If you have never been to Mardi Gras, I definitely recommend a trip, but plan a year ahead because the hotels and motels book a year in advance. Have a great time if you make it and I will see you there.


Putting up the Tree

Looks like I can’t put off getting my Christmas tree put up and decorated. Here it is the 9th already. There are only two more weekends left to shop for Christmas after this weekend. I need to get the tree out of the attic and set it up. Thank God it has the lights already on it and all I have to do is toss some colored balls and candy canes on it. That will take me all morning, though. Maybe it will help get me in the Christmas spirit once it is up and lit.


Red Ribbon

This morning while getting dressed I found my red ribbon that I wore as a lapel pin last year for World AIDS Day. The red ribbon is to raise awareness for HIV and AIDS. So, I’ll pin it on my shirt collar today and encourage people that I see to get the facts about AIDS and to have compassion for the victims of this horrible disease.
