joys of being human

well carnival season is over so all that anticipation and wind up that has been building since christmas is over and done with. at least, not until another season. the nice thing about being human is that there are a zillion choices to make.
do i wear all of my costume? or only part of it?

do i drink enough to stay hyper and hydrated? or do i drink to get my money's worth (and suffer the consequences)?

do i wine with that person over there who looks like they can throw LEVEL waist? or do i stay back like a prude in carnival?

and of course, when its all over, do i wallow in self pity over the end of the good times or do i throw myself back into work?

well that's an easy one. work sucks! lol work doesn't suck really. i enjoy my job even when the kids are spastic, but it's hard to work when you know that you could be doing many other things... on a beach... in the sea... whatever feels like vacation =)

anyway, turning 28 has been great. carnival was great. jouvert was BES'!! and i'm still being told that i look 17 right through. i am now getting old enough to appreciate that fact (and suffer the consequences!).

the end of carnival season is more anticlimactic for me than new years because it's a MUCH greater high involving a longer party season, more intermitent vacation days and a greater emphasis on FUN.

now i have to adjust to regular sleeping times, not wearing makeup every other day and having a guest-free house. no one and nothing to blame for any messes now. now its just me and just another day.
