I don’t know what it was like for y’all, but February? Did it really happen? I’m having a hard time remembering.
We had the playoffs and then everything sort of goes blurry. I remember that I voted. And there was that event that drew in more viewers than any other event in U.S. television history.
I do have memories of Lombardi Gras née Mardi Gras. I remember parades and parties and costumes and friends and all that comes with the season, but it doesn’t seem possible that so many things happened in short, stunted little February with it’s 28 days. I guess February showed us who was boss?
In the meantime, we did read and collect Just Post goodness. The Best of 2009 is SO CLOSE, we promise. Just a few more wrinkles in the polling methods to iron out. (Note: Vote in post below! It’s clear now that it works, but the ice cream flavors are cracking me up, so please chime in if you hadn’t and I’ll present the results.)
I’m hoping for more wonderful in March and have all fingers crossed that you’ll pass on the marvels you read. Light-up toys and shiny beads could hang in the balance?

“I guess February showed us who’s boss.”
Truly. So much got packed into that short month. Several places in the world got wracked by earthquakes, and in the middle of all that uproar, beleagured NOLA got to do some much-needed celebrating. I’m so glad that your city got to experience some joy.
Thanks for the Just Post nod this month. It’s nice to know that someone in the U.S. (who’s not Peruvian) is reading!

OMG! I really enjoyed these Just Posts, You Got to Fight for the Right to Plie touched me, for some very personal reasons but I feel her frustrations.
