Busy, long day!

Today was decorating day for the Mardi Gras Ball and since I have a friend who is royalty this year, I was at the site by 9 this morning. She has 5 tables and we had to get all these tables decorated, which is monumental. Mardi Gras Ball tables have crap all over them..all sorts of trinkets at each seat. It's gawdy, but it looks pretty at night. The ball is tomorrow night. I don't really like this fru-fru part of Mardi Gras. I'm in it for the parades and casual parties.
