Mardi Gras..what whaaa?

Hey all,
Happy Mardi Gras everyone! I am spending it in the Southern Bayou for the first time (not New Orleans though, I think I'm a little old for that tom foolery). We went to a parade in Alexandria this past Sunday, it was a blast. They had a section for military family's which was nice cause it wasn't very crowded. I did however throw out my back by wearing heels the entire day (again too old to do anything anymore!) I am now on muscle relaxers and pain pills. Not a fun experience and I have learned my lesson.

I applied at Gamestop a couple weeks ago and am REALLY hoping I get the job. They seemed interested and I would love LOVE to work there. It would be a dream job to work around video games and then come home and be able to play them for "research". Who knows maybe I could work my way up to manager and be able to go to E3 *nerdgasm* amazing.

 On another video game note, my husband and I tried to back up our xbox hard drives. We tried mine first, which resulted in ALL my saved games to be deleted. It was extremely heartbreaking. All those hours I put into Fallout 3, Oblivion, Fable, etc just gone. It was a horrible feeling, the plus side is I can replay them now I spose. Still, it was probably the worst feeling ever...well maybe not, that's a bit dramatic.

I'm still trying to adjust to life down here in the South. It is significantly different to what I'm used to. Anyone with a thick southern accent needs to repeat themselves around me because I have NO idea what they are saying. Other then that it's not so bad really, being out in the boonies still gets to me every once and a while though.

I need to start adding more pictures to this blog. I really want to get a DSLR camera but it's a bit out of our price range so I think that will have to wait. Once I get a job this will hopefully be more interesting as well. I would love to have things to write about but when you are a homemaker there isn't much to say! Anyway, maybe I'll write more later...who knows! Take care all

On an end note...Kitty Coaster!!!

Much Love <3

I'm sorry for lying..please forgive me!

I like how I said I was going to write in this more cause of that app...and then I never did haha. We recently moved to Louisiana about a month and a half ago and I spose between moving, christmas, not getting our stuff for 3 weeks, a trip to Minne and just adjusting in general I haven't really had the time to write in my blog. I should try more often, I think it's good for the mind and spirit.
The weather here in Louisiana is more bipolar then in Minne. One day it's 30 degrees and the next its almost 70!! Crazy. I'm also adjusting better then I did in Washington. I don't know if it's because the scenery and climate can be similar to Minne or maybe I'm just more used to being away from where I grew up. Either way, it's kind of nice to not be so missing everything all the time.

Sunset on the day I got home to Lousiana from Minnesota

I visited family last week and it was definitely different. I felt like was visiting but also like I had never left, it was a very odd feeling. I got to spend time with my adorable niece however who is growing by the minute. It was nice to finally spend some time with her, even if she enjoys throwing her 2 year old fits! She makes up for it in cuteness ;)

I noticed being back in Minne how much I missed it but also how much it feels different. Living in the south I have come to realize that Minnesota nice is really just passive aggressive fake nice. Don't get me wrong there are very nice people there but compared to Southern hospitality it's pretty bad. Another thing  I have come to be annoyed with is how they react to weather. I post about chilly weather here in LA (cause lets face it, 20 degree weather is pretty damn cold for the south) and my status goes wild with Minnesotans and Wisconsinites alike saying "YOU THINK THAT'S BAD OMFG FDKLHAVKNKLA" (Sorry for the caps, it's for the effect :D) I find it annoying and rude. You people should be used to this by now, you live in the NORTH, I mean come on really? Is this a pissing contest? Oh Well, enough of my rant.

Lake Minnetonka over by my sisters house

That's about all that's going on recently. I'm going to be looking for a job now and getting some doctor appointments out of the way. Other then that David and I are going to try to make it to Lake Charles this weekend for Valentines day. Looks like a pretty area and like it would be fun. Hope to write again next week, I spose we shall see!! Take care all!
