Mardi Gras was a blast, although I didn't catch as many beads as usual. Where else in the world do you go to a parade, see beautiful floats, and get goodies?
OK, we won't discuss the morning I woke up with a migraine , that was not in any form related to alcohol, darn.

And yes, Carnival is officially over at midnight tuesday. Although I haven't taken my gaudy wreath off the door yet - sort of right up there with leaving your Christmas lights up.
