OH baby, it’s only Lundi Gras and I am beat like a rug on a clothes line.
For those of you that don’t know, it’s Carnival season here on the Gulf Coast. That means the balls and Royal Courts and all the fancy pre game stuff started a couple months ago.
Then the last 2 weeks there have been parades after parades after parades. But this last weekend was the last weekend before Mardi Gras, which is FAT TUESDAY. ( the day before Ash Wednesday).
Today is Lundi Gras, the Monday prior to Fat Tuesday or the official “Mardi Gras”.
Yes it’s during the week, always will be always has been. Yes we shut down all business and block interstates, high ways and whatever else we feel like shutting down, because IT’S FREAKING MARDI GRAS!
Tomorrow is the big day. I am already beat but I will gather strength in the 200 years of people who did this before me and fulfill my duties to party, not for me, FOR YOU!
Here’s one of the family friendly day parades from yesterday.

I hope everyone is having a happy and safe MardiGras
Video is cracking me up. My 3 yr old is watching and wishing he had moves that smooth.
Looks like you had a blast.
Clearly I’m going to have to up my game to keep up with The Prince.
P.S. Why am I awaiting moderation?? You’re moderating me now?! WTH did I do to deserve this! I’m taking my comments somewhere they’ll be better appreciated…
My blog is drunk for mardi gras and for some reason even making me await moderation, it’s being freaking fickle. I hate fickle drunken blogs.
SOOOOOO JEALOUS of that crawfish all over the table…did you SEE that it had MY name on it?! Yummers!
And The Prince is supah fly!! He’s got some fresh moves…does that make him like “The Fresh Prince?” lol
Looks like you’re holdin’ it down and representin’ for the blogger family members who CAN’T partake in the Mardi Gras festivities properly like y’all do down there!
Keep partyin’ Boomslang!
I think my blog needs to get drunk for Mardi Gras!
Love this! Have fun today!
That is SO cool…
