Mr Peanut
I went to a party where some girls were painting coconuts for the Zulu parade... Zulu is on Mardi Gras Day, and they throw coconuts... and it's pretty cool to catch one.... I was excited to paint one!
This Friday, I went to go see Les Miserables with my family at the Midland Community Theater...
It was great! I love the music from Les Mis..... My parents used to play soundtracks from Broadway musicals when I was growing up... so it's music I grew up too... I learned bad words from Les Mis.... ha! (funny, but true....)
I remember, when I was about 8, my parents were having a pool party... and I called someone (jokingly) a "bastard!".... the next thing I remember is my parents taking me inside and questioning me.... where had I learned that word? who told me that word? etc..... well, It was from Les Mis. but until that point, I didn't know it was a bad word...
I'm glad I was able to keep myself from singing along... I'd really like to go to a sing-a-long Les Mis show... :)
Afterwards.... I was feeling great... took Grandma home.... got back to the house and *BAM* .... I didn't feel good.... at all..... so much so, that I walked down to the foot of the stairs and yelled "Mom! MOm! MOMMM!!"
"What Ryann?"
"Mom, I don't feel good......" jeez.... I just turned 29... and I sounded like I was 9..... then I walked upstairs to try to go to bed....
But I had the flu.... the 24hr... knock-you-down-and-drag-you-out kinda flu.....
that sucked....
I'm finally starting to feel better.... but kinda loopy....

Yea! You caught a coconut! I only caught one in the 4 Mardi Gras I lived there through! I SO miss the whole Carnival Season. I agree about Les Mis; if there is a God we should all thank him (or her) for Victor Hugo. I really hope you feel better; we've all been pretty sick around here, too and it SUCKS (except I'm the mom in those "hey mom" yelps, which makes it suck worse). Feel better and know you are loved by many!

I'm glad you're feeling better ladybug!! 2 weeks ago, I drove uptown and spent 3 days at my parents because I had some sort of evil flu thing. I don't think anyone ever gets over the mama-nurturing. Am I going to see your mustached face at SXSW?!
To me, the word bastard is silly. I am literally a bastard, because my parents are not married and never were married.
So I guess if someone calls me a bastard... they are right lol.
