Oh My Gawd She's Back!!!

Many of you have asked how Miss Ginger has been,  and have worried that her absence from blogging means the breakup hit her hard.  You're such dears to be concerned, but rest assured,  Miss G is alive and well and working her butt off getting ready for the Krewe of Olympus ball! There's been so much going on... let me see if I can catch you up without boring you to death!

The holidays were awesome!! Miss G and her Bubbas had an awesome,  old timey Christmas complete with the foods their dearly departed Momma always cooked for them.  It was nice for Miss G not to have to work that crazy schedule she usually works around the holidays,  and she even took a week of vacation just as the New Year started.  She got the garage (workshop) all cleaned and organized and ready to begin getting the costume together.

But there was lots of time to party as well,  and as the Krewe started the month off with it's First Friday Happy Hour,  she ran into Shyanne and the bunch from ERICSS.  They were doing their last round of shows before their big weekend, which comes right before ours!  Aurora is running for Empress this year, so I hope all our friends in the community will go by and cast their vote this Saturday afternoon at the Legacy Clinic on Westheimer.

The night after the happy hour was our Royal Affair party,  a FABULOUS event dreamed up by Blaine and his fundraising team. The crowd seemed really wowed,  and we even made some money for the Krewe through the silent auction for the masks made by Richard and his pals and partners! The next night was the King Cake party,  where Miss G was so busy distributing invitations with the rest of the Lieutenants that she never even got a piece of cake!  No cake = no baby = no have to bring cake next year,  but it also means Miss G won't get the good luck that finding tha baby brings.  Maybe next year!

Things didn't slow down after the KC party!  This week begins twice weekly rehearsals for the ball choruses,  plus the final countdown to get those elaborate costumes finished!

So,  Ball 38 is right around the corner!  Be really sweet to Miss G and maybe she will scare you up an invite! Love to all!

PS: Sorry the website so terribly needs an upate,  It's kinda time consuming,  and tonight when I went to work on it the laptop that houses it crashed. %$@!!!!  Time to "Dial a Geek", cause Miss G has no time or patience to screw with that right now!  I promise to get to it once the ball is over!
