take a load off, Annie

That song has nothing to do with anything, except that for the one minute of the Grammy's I actually watched, that was on, and I loveeee me somma dat song. Our Sunday TV/DVR schedule is too packed, so we couldn't watch the Grammy's. Well, I guess we could, but that would have involved moving into the bedroom to watch that TV. HA. Not moving from this couch on a Sunday. And in case you were wondering, DUH of course you are, we watch The Walking Dead and Revenge on Sunday nights. Hellooooo best TV shows ever.

This weekend we kicked off MG 2013 with a bang. And by with a bang I mean at a bar on the parade route that was filled with 18 year olds and $10 doubles. Ain't nobody got cash for dat! Nonsense. 

The goal of MG is to catch the good beads. As in, the ones that someone spent $10 on - for one bead. Clearly, I didn't do a good job of that AT ALL, but it was because no one threw any where we were! Tuesday I will make up for this. And I texted the above photo to Helene on Friday, because I had to share that TERRIBLE bead. It was a choker on Andre' - stop being so cheap, float riders! Throw us the good stuff!

And then I danced. This is a rarity - I am awkward, I don't bar dance. Clearly you can see why - I mean, what am I doing with my mouth? I need lessons. (looking at you here again, Helene.)

I avenged the crappy beads with some awesome stunna shades. 

Sometimes I like to pretend like I'm still in college. Taco Bell just never feels as good the next morning, such a shame. 

It wasn't all craziness, though. On Saturday night I made, what I think to be, the best meal I have EVER made. Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin with brown sugar glazed carrots and some homemade garlic knots. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. And then last night I made chicken tortilla soup - thanks to the lovely Alexa for suggesting it! A is coming down with a sickness of some sort, so it was perfectly comforting. 

Also, today may be the only Monday that I will ever be OK with. Only because tonight we are going to watch A's mom ride in the Queen's parade and tomorrow is Mardis Gras. And I get to head out to a tent at 7AM and drink bottomless mimosas for free. I am determined to not let the 90% chance of rain ruin the fun. More beads for me!
