I know what you mean! I am about to drop already. For Krewe 1 (Northshore), we had our ball on December 29. It was really nice because the King and Queen are husband and wife. Their oldest daughter (15) is a princess and the youngest (3) is their page. The page is so tiny that she had to have "an assistant" for the mantles. That Krewe parades this Saturday and it will be the inaugural parade. I was in costume and hubby was in a tux. Right after this parade we have a float party for Krewe 3. For Krewe 2 (Northshore), we just have a ball, which is the next Saturday. I wear a costume and hubby is in a tux. I was a maid last year so I got to wear a very elaborate costume. We have a big sis (previous maid)/lil sis (new maid) party tonight. Plus we are still practicing for the tableau. For Krewe 3 (New Orleans), hubby and I alternate riding. He is riding this year so I get a new gown, which is supposed to come in tomorrow! The parade is February 11. My friend and her husband are Queen and King of a Metairie Krewe. Their ball was New Year's and the parade is Feb. 2. So much to do and so very little time.

We kicked off the season with our first party last night. They announced the king, queen and the court. This is just the start of the season and I'm already thinking..."Oh lawdy, here we go again." I hate it when it starts right after New Year. There's no down time between the holidays. Oh well, who all is celebrating?
Are you doing costumes or ball gowns? We have one of each.
Anyone going to make it to N.O.???
