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
