First 1/6 of 2013

Can you believe we’re already 1/6 of the way through 2013?!

I’ve been a blog slacker. I know I’ve disappointed you. I apologize. And the z on my keyboard is sticking, so you know how heartfelt that apology is.

New Year’s

For New Year’s Eve, we hung out with a bunch of friends at Stacy’s house. I brought fireworks. Only one other person brought fireworks. He’s kind of new to the group. He earned major points from me for that, and the potato gun. I mean, who doesn’t shoot fireworks on New Year’s?? 🙂

WDW Half

About a week and a half later, we did the Disney World Half Marathon for the second time. We went as Flamingos. We had tutu flamingo tails. Our flamingo heads were very limp. If we go as flamingos again, we’ll have to stuff them better than the company that made them.

View all pictures here.

There was construction going on in Fantasy Land. I think this is The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train:

Splash Mountain was also undergoing renovations. Look at all those logs!

Mardi Gras

See all our photos from Mardi Gras here, and the Krewe of Bikeus pictures here.

I was supposed to walk in Barkus with Rae and one of her dogs (Patsy, I think. I suck, I never remember which is Patsy and which is Presley. Sorry girls. :)) But Rae got sick, so it was just me and “Patsy.” She was nervous when we first got there, but once we started walking she was fine. 🙂

Fast forward past the Super Bowl, to continue Mardi Gras. We had the first non-rainy Endymion for the first time in 3 years!

This is Petey. He’s a neighbor’s dog.

Then came Mardi Gras day! Ok, so I fast forwarded again. Rose was kinda sick, so she didn’t go to the parades with me on Sunday. There was supposed to be 90% chance of rain, but it was great weather and even some sun. Monday it rained, so we just went out to lunch and relaxed. THEN came Mardi Gras day. We were the first people at Pal’s, which is weird to me, being the first person somewhere. As most of you already know, I was a King Cake Baby, and Rose was The U.S. Mint, offering people coins that were worth whatever they wanted them to be!

Then sadly Mardi Gras was over. I really hate that time of year. For Valentine’s Day we had lunch at Ralph’s on the Park (George Porter had the same plans, apparently), then went for a brief walk in city park to get beignets at the relatively new Morning Call.

Well, I guess that’s enough for now. Mainly cuz I can’t think of anything else to talk about right now. 🙂
