If Ever I Cease To Love
I’ve downsized Mardi Gras and it still feels outsized. I missed Krewe du Vieux because out of town guests were in and didn’t find it appropriate for the children. We kicked off Carnival with Tit Rex and skipped Chewbaccus to get home for bedtime.

I’m missing the Zulu ball yet again, but going to the Mayor’s Ball. Muses is a must and school’s out the next day. Endymion is coming to us and the home made vegetarian chili is already made. Girls Gone Vegan are delivering the vegan gluten free king cakes on Friday. Missing Thoth this year because my Uptown parade route friends went to the beach. Red Beans parade on Monday in the Marigny where Tin will get to ride in the pedicab. Then I’m debating after Zulu on Fat Tuesday to head to follow St. Ann or hang on Canal Street with friends who have base camp there – for a change?
If Ever I Cease To Love Mardi Gras, I’m going to have to book my beach vacation in advance. But for now, you can’t miss parades with a 5 year old in the wings. And you can’t avoid Mardi Gras if you stay in town. So Carnival it is.
Laissez les bons temps rouler.
