Success!

Our fifth annual Mardi Gras party -- the first one at our new house -- has been declared a success by a panel of impartial arbitrators, who noted the record levels of rum consumed, the conspicuous lack of any leftover jello shots, and the fanciful designs painted on the foreheads of the remaining participants. "It's clear, judging by these factors and others (including the amount of jambalaya eaten, the numbers of other sweet and spicy dishes brought and consumed by revelers, and the beads absolutely everywhere), that this party was an unqualified success," one of the judges whispered grogily. "Now where's that goddamn Tylenol?"

I'm so sorry we missed it. We ended up not even getting the puppy yesterday--it won't come until next week. But we didn't find out until Friday afternoon, and it was too late to get a dogsitter by that point.

Congrats on yet another rousing success! Party 'til the money run out, man.

The younger judges also declared it a success, having a lot of fun wearing silly clothes, eating pretzels and playing with the beads.

I'm impressed you were able to type by 1:40PM! Must've been extra-strength Tylenol, not the wimpy regular strength.
