Planning.

Well, while Mom was doing yard stuff and house stuff and continuing refinishing the drawers where she keeps toy-lette parts and tools and weatherstripping! and all kinds of fun stuff, I was busy planning for Mardi Gras. I'm getting a pretty late start on it because I wasn't sure if there was or wasn't really going to be a celebration in Nawlins because of those terrible terrible storms. I never knew what a hurricane was until Mom and Eddie explained it–Mom was born exactly in the middle of two hurricanes that hit eleven days apart, and Eddie was in a tropical storm once. Eddie told me that even though the storm had been a hurricane but wasn't any more, the wind still howled and the house kinda swayed a little and it rained and rained and rained even more. Sounds pretty scary to me. Then the power went out and he and Mom ate ice cream that was in danger of melting. That part sounds fun.

I wonder what kind of ice cream it was. Anyway, now I have to nap so I can plan some more.

  4. We don't do Mardi Gras here but it sounds like fun. But we do have Pancake Day tomorrow. (Shrove Tuesday my mum says) My mum says fat cats on a diet don't get any pancakes but I reckon if I look meltingly at my dad I might get a bite. Then Wednesday is two things, Ash Wednesday and also St. David's Day which is March 1st, Welsh people like my auntie Sarah wear daffodils or leeks, that's just weird!

  5. My mama says they are going to have a special soup Tuesday where she werks. I don't know what it is and I asked her, but mama doesn't know either what kind of soup. Thursday she is going to get ashs on her head. I don't understad why a bean would do that, but she says it's special ashs. Beans!

    I am new on the computer, so come say hi!

  7. I'm planning on hitting New Orleans tomorrow for Fat Tuesday. Brach posted a pic from last year's Mardi Gras party. Hopefully I can steer clear of the catnip this year and keep my clothes on!
