The Bunch Club Carnival Dance was grand the second time around on Friday night. It's always fun to see everyone duded up and dancing in their tuxedos and evening gowns. I, however, made a serious tactical error...in the hours following and hanging out with the Diva's that afternoon before the Bunch Dance I left no "nap-time" and seriously damaged the old tootsies. Plus, wearing borrowed "slippers" to go with my very special gown added a whole 'nother layer to feet screaming. When you're dancing with Michael and you have to stop in the middle to go sit down-there is something drastically wrong! And, I wanted to dance...my feet didn't!
So, I enjoyed my friends had a wine and a scotch (it even hurt to walk over to the bar). And then, almost took a tumble on the marble on our way back to the parking garage. I scared Barbara, but I'd made one of those marvelous, none too graceful, in the air saves with no damage done... definitely "clumsy and exhaustion" NOT "booze".
Carmen had the right idea. I plan to follow suit next year, but I'll need a bigger purse
We've all been talking about the fact that Mardi Gras is a week earlier next year, a real fast slide from Christmas and New Year into the festivities. At least I know I'm going to need to be ready earlier! I better start NOW!
Leaving you with a few photos of friends having fun...
Happy Lundi Gras!
