Mardi Gras wow moments
 Well I went to Biloxi for Mardi gras this year.  I grew up there soI wanted to go.  I loaded up early with my sugar free drinks and got a great spot near the front of the parade route.  I decided I would walk around a bit and next thing I knew I had walked the entire parade route. I mean the whole thing.  When I went the last time I never wandered farther than the closest restroom.  I saw alot of folks I knew and they all told me they couldn't believe how much I had changed since they last saw me.  I had a blast got sunburned  and am payong for it now but would do it again in a minute.  Just goes to show that change is a goooooooooooooooood thing.
Just ahdto share my moment.

 I wish I had of known you were coming, I would have loved to have seen you!  We enjoyed the parade too.  It was a shame that we only got to have the one this year but it was better than none at all.  I am glad you were able to come down and enjoy the festivities..  Keep up the good work!  You are truly an inspiration!
Love,

 Yeah I did it and I loved it then I caught about 12 LBS of beads for my mom and my kids so I had a full day only bad thing was I had to stay away from the boiled crawfish my bro in law made was so spicy it made me ill.  But I had a blast and I know that you could have done it you skinny thing you.  You could have prolly power walked it lol.
