Unicycle/Jugging Club Afternoon


We enjoyed a great afternoon with friends from Paul’s unicycle/juggling club. We decided to forgo the evening parades and hung out all afternoon and into the evening… made dinner, played around, enjoyed the beautiful day.

Here, Will gets buried in beads by Grace and Mina (his new favorite girls — he refused to do anything all day without one of them by his side) while we all look on from around the room.

The other exciting news is that Paul actually managed to ride the unicycle today and group consensus is that he may actually be riding by next weekend…!

My First Meme

From a tag by JMR.

Guilt
What is yours?
Explain yourself
Culinary: Beef I am a vegetarian (health/environmental reasons. It’s completely personal and I am in no way militant about it). But I do prefer a meat-free life. However… sometimes, especially when pregnant, I get a serious hankerin’ for a beef hotdog and have to indulge.
Literary: Trash Magazines i.e.: Any “woman’s” magazine (Glamour, Cosmo, Parenting, etc.) All trash, but sometimes I like the distraction… even if speculating on the minds that actually do take these things to heart thoroughly frightens me.
Audiovisual: ABC soaps I’ve owned up to this one before. I truly enjoy All My Children and think being a soap writer would be a total hoot.
Musical: John Denver Don’t mention the plane crash. It still chokes me up.
Celebrity: Angelina Jolie She’s got props from me for being a celeb into international issues who isn’t a high-maintainence prima donna.

Now I tag (which, for the newbies, means you do the same and post it to your blog)
melaniesuzanne; Wombat; Mergerson; Randy, and Eli.
To complete this same Quiz, Its HERE.

Mardi Gras 2006, continued…


Tonight’s lineup: Hermes (which we missed, enjoying a dinner at local’s favorite Frankie and Johnny’s and talking to neighbors), Krewe D’Etat, and Morpheus

Pictured above…. the ABC soap stars float! Unfortunately, I don’t have super great photos of them since I was catching throws while they are right in front of us. We were at the front of the parade and were virtually alone on the curb — I exchanged hellos and caught throws with Dorian (Daytime Diva from One Life to Live) and Dixie (one of my childhood favorites on All My Children), who threw a medallion to Will. Interesting note to collectors: the medallions they threw were special to ABC soaps.

A Krewe D’Etat Float. Special throws for this year: cups (we came home with 18), plush skeleton heads (we came home with 2), and doubloons. Posted by Picasa

Will goes crazy with the “spear” given to him by one of the float riders in Krewe D’Etat. Shortly after this picture, Paul distracted Will and I gave the spear to another, older, child (after clearing it with a parent). Paul and I decided that Will did *not* need a spear! Posted by Picasa
