Reading pp's I feel like I'm in the minority. Well...I have, but I don't remember if Mardi Gras was involved...pizza and beads have definitely been involved (different situations, lol). I don't know if I would anymore because I feel old and no one wants to see my old bits, but if champagne is involved...anything can happen.
1) We know you are out there.. who is here? I am here now, finished some home work, fed the dogs and waiting for my dinner.
2) What did you have for breakfast? Cereal.

Yes I would, and I have flashed before, but not for beads.

1) We know you are out there.. who is here? Me

3) Will you eat anything special tonight for Fat Tuesday? Nope
4) In honor of Mardi Gras, would you flash for beads? Have you?
in my younger....read skinnier days I would have, and I did. I have done my fair share of flashing...but again it was in my skinner/funner days LOL
1. Not really hear. Finals are here.
2. Carnation Instant Breakfast
3. No, I totally didn't even know it was. I ate bacon. The sandwhich I ordered had it by accident and it was more of a waste to throw it out then to let my sick body eat it...probably needs the nutrients to fight off this cold. Although I would normally choose to not eat meat for personal reasons, not for religious ones.
4. Probably would do it if I was super wasted and others around me were. Although, I don't know what the point of the beads is in general. To get a lot and them throw them out when you go home? That just seems stupid. Maybe if it was like chips and money at Vegas...
Tea Time for Lulu
1) We know you are out there.. who is here? Hi
2) What did you have for breakfast? Grande Green Iced Tea from SB
3) Will you eat anything special tonight for Fat Tuesday? Nope. I would do just about anything for DH grandmas cooking though. She lives in NOLA and my mouth waters just at the thought of it.
4) In honor of Mardi Gras, would you flash for beads? Have you?
You betcha! Nothing like bourbon street to get me flashing....well truthfully, I've flashed plenty of places that didn't even offer me beads.
