It was in the 40's today with a wind so it made it colder. I was prepared with long underware and layers and mittens and ear muffs. It was cold on my face still. After the parades we went back to a friends house for visiting.

We had a fun mardi gras. Did not drink too much which was good, Jeff picked up a chicken for us to eat as we were hungry by the time we got home around 7 pm.
I need to drink plenty of water because I am thirsty. today Had bloody marys and a couple of hurricanes. Ate frito pies which was tasty (chili and peppers and onions and frito corn chips)and some king cake and some boudin ( think rice and spicy meat in a casing)to eat which was very good.

Doing laundry and getting ready to watch LOST.
I have a lot of paper work to do in the morning.
Ash wednesday starts the season of lent.
I will observe this tradition for the catholic faith by giving up alcohol and eating better and going to the gym.
Wish me luck this next 40 some odd days.
