mardi gras!

going to a celebration tonight, will hopefully have photos for tomorrow! here's some history:

"mardi gras is french for "fat tuesday" (in ethnic english tradition, shrove tuesday), referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the lenten season, which begins on ash wednesday."

so basically i'll be celebrating in excess even though i won't be taking anything away for lent. woo!

mostly better!

only took two days, a lot of rest and lemon salt water to help get most of it gone. i should go to the doctor if it's not 100% by tomorrow evening, but i'm recovering quicker than i thought anyway so huzzah!

have some crazy tyra!

and some tyra boobs?

spent a couple days in bed

i hope i'm never as sick as i was/am ever again. it was a combination of a sinus infection, strep and nausea/vomiting. i've been sleeping so that i don't throw up and have it tear up my throat.
