   Ooooh Yeh!
Woohoo! My mom gave me some money yesterday... and now I finally have enough to buy a gamecube! XD

Of course... I had enough before, but I didn't wanna be completely broke... so I was gunna wait. But now I don't hafta!

*happy dance*

Omg... I had a blast back home! They celebrated Mardi Gras a few days early there. So that's why we had gone this weekend. Cause the actual date is Tuesday, the 28th. Because in case you didn't know, Mardi Gras means 'Fat Tuesday' in french. It may not make much sense to you, but it's my heritage, and I love it! XD

And.. here's ya'll a history lesson for the week.

The traditional colors representing Mardi Gras are Purple, Green, and Gold. They stand for the following:

Purple - Justice
Green - Faith
Gold - Power

And there's more... but you might wanna read it here:

Mardi Gras

If you all notice... it is indeed about New Orleans. But that's where Mardi Gras started, therefore it is very vital in the celebration of Mardi Gras. And if you haven't guessed yet.. I live in Louisiana. Bleh.. southern redneck central...

*bangs head on keyboard*

Of course I can't say much... I'm guilty, too. 0.o
Ooooooh! I took some pictures!!!! XD
Here ya go!

This is some of the costumes... the sad thing is.. .in these few pictures you probably see the whole town... and all of my relatives. 0.o


More of the costumes..


Some of my mom's good friends, we stopped to chat, and I snapped a shot.


Another costume...


Everybody brought their horse! That's us... horse and pickup truck central. Haha.


One of my buddies. You know he's from here... cause he gotta beer in one hand and a cell phone in the other. Oh! And that's my doggy in the corner! XD


Well the camera died after that... so I didn't get to take anymore pictures. And by this time I had gotten on a horse anyway. Being the dummy I am... I was wearing shorts, vans, and a taint top. And it was raining. A lot. And it was cold. Really cold. And the horses were wet. Really wet. And stinky. Really stinky.

*dies laughing*

I got so cold, that after about twenty minutes one of my guy friends hopped on the horse behind me and had to steer, cause my hands were froze. 0.o

But.. I was wearing a pimp hat! Haha! It was huge big ole fluffy hat, that was purple, gold, and green!

*gasp*

What a surprise!

But anyway, it was really fun. And one of my best friends got to come spend the night with me at my grandmother's. Then in the morning we got to run the hunting dogs. By the time we got back, one of the poor things was bleedin sa bad.. :'(

But don't worry that's normal! When the run a lot, the fur on the end of their tail falls off, and it starts to bleed. Weird, I know, but it's the truth.

Well, that's really all I have to say... ahh! I have two pics up. I can't really say they're new, cause they are like 2 years old..

Anyways, Ima go now! Have a great day everyone! XD

~Forever and Always~
