My little Missy was so hyper arriving from School. I can hardly make up what she was stuttering about. All I could hear was fluctuating tone of excitement.I started frowning to a bouncing kid in front of me. It made her calm in seconds.She started back from “Mama il faut que, je m'habille (mumbling after.....) comme à Borcéliande, D'accord? ( mama I must dress......like in Borcéliande,ok?) And me, magnifying effortlessly my facial line being asked Où est-elle,mama?(where is it mama?)I stupidly asking Where's what?Then i got slapped by “Don't you speak French, mama?” With strong French accent...Uh, that hurts!!! I was about to mimick her and gearing for the girlish fight. Then comes the Kuya.(elder brother)explaining it all to me. I finally understand what was the yackety-yak abou

It's Fat Tuesday today. Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras is celebrated throughout the world. New Orleans is the most popular city in the United States representing Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras. Check out the following link for more information: ://rippinskiers.com rippinskiers@earthlink.net
We will miss Mardi Gras this year, not that we participated much when we lived in New Orleans. Susan usually went skiing in Colorado. I could usually find a party that did not require that I battle the crowds. Call us Scrooges, but I have more or less participated in 60 or so Mardi Gras and they begin to look the same after about 30 times. This year we are in Cincinnati, interested more in “Super Tuesday” than the festivities in New Orleans. The presidential race this year is a bit more interesting than in recent years, though I can’t stand one more debate. Today’s related story comes from AP, via KATC-3 in Lafayette:That happy, sing-song sound heard on Bourbon Street is trickle-down economics at its best as hundreds of thousands of Carnival season visitors spend themselves silly b
This week's show is something of a Fat Tuesday / Mardi Gras / Carnival starter kit -- particularly useful if you happen to live far away from Rio or New Orleans or other places where the holiday is celebrated with great gusto. Many USA residents will be more focused on the odd cultural phenomenon of the Super Bowl this weekend; if your family insists on that, just turn the TV sound down, and crank up these tunes. Guaranteed more interesting than the discussion of instant replays and quarterback rating statistics.Spin The Globe playlist for 1 February 2008artist - song - albumhour 1 March Fourth Marching Band - Matador - March Fourth Marching Band Wild Magnolias - All on a Mardi Gras Day - Life Is a Carnival Andre Tanker - Wild Indian Band (vintage remix) - Mondo Soc

From AP:
The economic impact of the 2007 Carnival season was strong, if not quite up to the levels it reached before Hurricane Katrina, according to city officials.
The real financial effects of the two-week party that ended last week on Mardi Gras won't be known until sales tax figures are compiled in mid-March.
However, an enthusiastic Mayor Ray Nagin said he thinks the 2007 bash brought in
If you missed the parade yesterday, there are some photos below. The Fat Tuesday revelers were out in full force last night following the parade. I drive down Chippewa about 3 am revealed packed sidewalks and crowded bars. Many people were probably late for work this morning. Click any photo for a large version.

Mardi Gras Season in New Orleans, A Local Legacy.Do you celebrate Fat Tuesday? If you live in New Orleans, Louisiana, or any place else along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, you probably do.Every year, the people of New Orleans celebrate Mardi Gras, which is French for "Fat Tuesday." This holiday is the day before Ash Wednesday, and it begins a season of fasting, called Lent, for many Christians leading up to Easter Sunday. It's called Fat Tuesday because it's the last day that many people eat meat and fatty foods before Lent begins.Today, Mardi Gras season in New Orleans is a time of merry-making and festivity. Many clubs in the city, called krewes (pronounced "crews"), sponsor extravagant parades and masked balls in the weeks leading up to Fat Tuesday. It's a lot of fun to try to catch the trinkets that are thrown to the crowds from the parade floats. Every krewe has a king and queen, whose identities are kept secret until the night of the ball. It's all part of the fun and myst

Other organizations sprung up in New Orleans in the 19th century inspired by the Comus model and also came to be known as "Krewes".Parading on Mardi Gras night, Comus was the final parade of the New Orleans carnival season for many years.

There is something seriously wrong with my life when the only way I had a clue what the "ft" reminder on my calendar meant was through some late-night bloglines perusing.
(Thanks, Wordnerd and J.)
I was relieved but admittedly a little sad when I realized what it meant. Relieved that it wasn't something important that I'd spaced in my stress-induced forgetfulness. Sad because I got no reminder
Say it with me, Awww. So precious! Little Z is growing up so fast and how can we not love the huge smile on Angie's face? It has been some time since we've seen Ange happy due to the tough time of losing her mother. We thought it would be super exciting to see Maddox getting ready for his first Mardi Gras celebration, but we're getting a peek at Zahara enjoying the festivities instead.
