Sleepy Sunday

This will be a quick hello because I’m oh so tired. I am about to turn off this little lamp next to me and start dreaming … hopefully. I have been having trouble sleeping the past few days because I have some exciting things ahead and my brain loves to imagine. Hopefully I’ve tired myself out fully today so it won’t be a struggle tonight. I hope you had a relaxing and fun weekend. 

Este será um rápido "olá" porque estou tão cansado. Estou prestes a desligar esta pequena lâmpada ao meu lado e começar a sonhar ... esperançosamente. Eu tenho tido problemas para dormir nos últimos dias porque tenho algumas coisas interessantes pela frente e meu cérebro adora imaginar. Espero que eu tenha me cansado totalmente hoje, então não será uma luta hoje à noite. Espero que você tenha tido um final de semana relaxante e divertido.

talk soon!

Mardi Gras

I'm sitting at my desk sniffling with a cold that I contracted from having too much fun. I got an invite to go to Mardi Gras from some friends a month or so back and it seemed like a trip I didn't want to miss. I had never been to Louisiana and I haven't taken a lot of trips to new places in the past couple years ... moving to LA was my big trip, but I didn't have much in the way of a break from work. I was overdue for an adventure! I had so much fun! The four days were a jumble of drinks, parades, dancing, live music, dodging & catching beads, good people ... and more drinks. I'm definitely curious about the city when it's not a giant party too, so it's on my list to visit again. 

hugs not drugs ;)
