THEM*: Let's plan a business call Monday or Tuesday next week.
ME: You realize it's Mardi Gras, right?
THEM: Oh, will that be a problem?
ME: After Muses Thursday, everyone's checked out until Ash Wednesday.
THEM: So, no problem, right?
ME: (face palm)

Ok…still trying to adjust my attitudes after moving from an up-tight over-50 gated community in SW FL to this oasis of tolerance and acceptance. I will add this to the “no biggie” column. 😂😂😂😂

I have always thought that Trump Derangement Syndrome is when someone actually believes the constant lies this administration spews.

So tell me, #nolasky, am I supposed to NOT be upset that parade-goers piss on the side of my house on the way back to their car? I guess they didn’t notice the camera.
Is this a normal occurrence, just part of the laid-back Nola experience? 😂😂

Magazine street is already lined with chairs, tarps and ladders at 1:45! And people already sitting there waiting…done with little kids.
Those people are gluttons for punishment!! The parade starts at 6:00.

In any professional environment, that kind of statement is completely unacceptable. Who the hell does she think she is?

Here’s a few of my throws from the Krewe of Alla and Krewe of Druitt parades last night.
I really love the pencil sets – a nice sustainable throw. The towel from Alla is a useful item too

I gave each of them some glass beads that I bought to share with nice people that I meet during the parades. I love this kind of personal interaction at the parades.

I met some very sweet ladies at the Druids and Alla parades last night on Magazine in uptown. We shared extra throws and had a very nice time talking.
One of them is a rider in the Cleopatra crew, and she actually walked back home to get me one of their throws.
