Hi Friends!
So I totally spaced that yesterday was Mardi Gras.
It took receiving this photo from a friend who just so happens to live in New Orleans to remind me.
The text included this pic
and the words
"Your Team"
Love her, friend for life!
PS. I just ordered this entire outfit and plan on wearing it to my Bachelorette.
All are invited!
Lucky for us, M chose one of our favorite places for dinner, which also
Just so happens to be a cute little Louisiana Bistro!
The servers all had fun masks on, and each table had decorations!
Just up our alley I tell ya.
Here is a collage of our evening!
What's date night without booze?
The drinks change depending on which Bartender is working,
Something all bars should do I think.
All I remember was the top one is a Cajun Vodka take on the Martini,
And
the bottom is a cucumber/min/champs.
Delish!
OUR super fab street also had a parade.
Have I mentioned how much I love my street lately?
CUZ I do!
Which rhymes with Boo.
Lastly, whilst at dinner,
M and I had a chat about "our future".
Gasp.
Backstory: I am terrible at yard work,
I am also terrible at painting.
And changing lightbulbs.
I don't do spiders or bugs of any kind.
And I have no clue how to do anything remotely related to fixing a home.
I've always rented and taken full advantage of the MX (maintenance) staff.
For example we had a light bulb out the other day;
And instead of climbing my happy ass up to the light
I called the office and Carter (MX guy) came and changed it for me.
Work SMARTER not harder friends.
So I knew it would behoove me to marry someone who can do the things I'm terrible at.
I'm no fool.
Except M isn't really good at any of that stuff either.
I mean he kills bugs and can change a light bulb.
But he hates yard work, and has the maintenance background of a cat.
SO when the talk came up about staying where we are, or looking into a house.
We both said stay where we are.
Then M said
"But we'll eventually end up back in a condo, so in the meantime I think I want a house"
Umm what?
DO you think its kosher to higher landscapers before you even start looking for a house?
Are handymen expensive?
I mean I'd let any of the men on Built into my home and let them go wild.
Shameful?
Have a great day!

Oh my gosh, having a house and yard is so much work. It is constant. Actually, it is constant AND my yard looks like shiz. Oh well.
i hate more than anything- doing yardwork. nope.
but i will tell you i have been celebrating mardi gras for the past month or so (meaning eating and drinking too much)
diet starts today. kill me.
I can't do any of those things and refuse to...It's cute that your maintenance man actually shows up. Mine literally just doesn't. I have been trying for two weeks to get him to come fix a light for me and everything he says he going to come over, he just doesn't. Today might be the day I lose my shit on him. Stay tuned!
hey, that's fun to have a mask in a bistro sometimes.
ahaha, i change my lightbulb on my own. but that's the furthest thing i'll do with house maintenance.
i think a house is nice. with little garden in the back ;)
I love your photos, it looks like you had a really good time!

OMG...I just found Built last weekend...LOVE! Yes please! And yard work totally blows. I hired someone last year to mow for me. I would love to build a pool that takes up half of my yard...then I can lounge in said pool while said lawn boy is mowing...margarita in hand, of course! Ahhhh....dreaming....
I have a house and I dont do yard work. I have someone come and do that shit for me! Efffff that! I also dont do the handy man shit around my house either! I enlist the help of men in my life or hire someone. Currently I have someone here installing doors! I WIN!
Those cocktails sound delish... so refreshing!
I have never been to Mardi Gras...hoe shameful is that? At least you guys did it up right for dinner and pretended you were there! ;)
I've never been to Mardi Gras but I've been to New Orleans and the French Quarter, I'm not sure if I could handle the huge crowds but it looks like a ton of fun!!

We have a little patch of grass in our "yard" and I don't even maintain that. I think tightening loose screws is about the extent of my handiness. I'm definitely hiring a handyman and a kid to take care of my lawn when I get a house.
nice photos, ill see you you had a very nice time :)
maybe we can follow each other? let me know dear, i will follow back of course ;)

How fun that your friend lives in New Orleans that she actually get to experience Mardi Gras! I've always wanted to go. Great pictures girl!

I am SO happy that we don't have a real yard, because I want nothing to do with yardwork.
Girlfriend, we freaking put an offer on a house, it was accepted, and we backed up cause the thought of the maintenance freaked the shit out of me!! Rhett is many things, but he is NOT handy. At all.
