I'm Missing Mardi Gras!


I went on Facebook today and all I saw splattered across everyone's wall was Mardi Gras cheer. All I'm doing is working way too many hours while my life is passing me by in Kuwait. Welcome to my 'pity party'! These projects / deadlines are killing me and I'm starting to resent my job. Sometimes I feel like quitting and just flying home to America. Where I can have enough free time to actually have a real life and celebrate Mardi Gras with my friends and family.

I mentioned this to my Hayati this week when I was complaining about my job. He threatened to put a travel ban on my ass if I even tried to leave Kuwait. I think he is changing his mind about getting married because I’ve turned into 'neurotic girl' over the stress from my job and lack of sleep.  I start to yawn halfway through dinner in the middle of his conversation about his day. He loves to tell me all about his job which is really important and I can barely keep my eyes open from only getting 3 – 5 hours sleep. 

If only I could take 2 weeks away from my job and fly back to enjoy Mardi Gras in my native Louisiana. I’ve been daydreaming about it all day. I can even taste the cold Dixie beer and fresh Alligator road kill for dinner.

  4. What a coincidence. The other day, I was watching a documentary about the States and Mardi Gras was covered. It was narrated by Stephen Fry. The parades looks fun.

  6. Girlythings ~ thank you sweetie. :) We will go to the US together but not now. He hates to fly long distances so we have to make a stopover in Europe and stay a few nights before flying to the US. I need to save some vacation time because it's going to be a loooooong trip.
