Wknd Recap

Well I haven't posted in a couple of days so I thought I'd take a few minutes to update my blog. Well, Doug's brother and mother stayed at my house for a couple of days from Thursday to Saturday afternoon because they were taking a cruise out of New Orleans. I met Doug at Mardi Gras 1997 through my sister Crissy and he used to date my sister Lucy and we have remained friends over the years. Anyway we all ended up going to Jacquemos on Friday after Bryan got to town. We had a drink at the Maple Leaf while waiting for our table. The wait wasn't as bad as it has been in the past. We had alligator/crawfish cheesecake and the mussels as appetizers. Yummy! Anyway we all ended up getting a little of everything so we could share. We got venison, stuffed pork chop, Mahi Mahi and something else which I can't remember. Afterwards we went to Roberts with Miguel after dropping his mom off for the night. We ended up back at the Maple Leaf to hear some live music but we ended up getting there right before the band went on break. I ended up busting my ass b/c I was leaning against a piano and my boots(Loeffler Randall's) have zero traction and my feet just kept sliding. It was rather embarrassing but not many people saw me. Anyway I ended up trying to keep up with Bryan and of course I paid for it the next day. I was sooo hungover that I couldn't make it through lunch in the French Quarter with everyone. I ended up waiting for them in Bryan's jeep. Couldn't keep anything down except the bloody mary that the bartender made for me. I guess that's why they recommend them. Anyway we ended up getting caught in parade traffic when we had to drop them off at the Cruise terminal. We dropped them off as close as we could get to the terminal b/c streets were closed b/c of the parade. Bryan and I went to look at houses which I'll write about in another post. The next day we slept in and ended up in the quarter again to watch the Barkus parade which is the dog parade. It was really cute. Afterwards we walked through the quarter and had an early dinner at the Napoleon House which is one of the oldest places in the quarter. It was a perfect place to end the wknd. Very romantic and secluded. Here's a cute pic of me and my honey and one of the dog parade. It's a pug in a crawfish costume in a boiling pot. You can't see his owners who are wearing chef hats. It's the best one. Notice my skin and how great it looks. Facials are the best.
