from Friday Five:
What was your most memorable moment from the last week?
This has been a pretty hum-drum week for me personally. Nothing really leaps out at me. *thinks* I had some comedic drama surrounding buying some fabric online after my local Hobby Lobby had sold out.

What one person touched your life this week?
My friend, Tracy, from New York. She sent me this beautiful lithograph created for the krewe that hosted the ball we attended at Mardi Gras. She had received it as a bonus after she ordered the even fancier (and much harder to get) gold foil artists-proof version that Harry had signed.

The one I received is numbered and signed by the artist and would’ve set me back $100 if I’d ordered it myself. While she could’ve sold it or given it to other people, she sent it to me. It was such a wonderful surprise.

How have you helped someone this week?
I helped my mom put her dehumidifier in the basement on Sunday – it was very heavy. Other than that… its just been not a real great week.

What one thing do you need to get done by this time next week?
I need to clean up my apartment before Jeff comes to visit for Carly and Greg’s wedding.

What one thing will you do over the next seven days to make your world a better place?
My world? I’ll clean my apartment. Less domestic chaos = happy me.

What is it with me that I can’t accomplish very much anymore beyond making lists and attempting to organize stuff. I’m caught in an anal-retentive circle to nowhere.

If I posted on my blog as much as I sat and started at the bookmark on my browser to open it up, I’d be very prolific.

I lack so much discipline in my life that it isn’t even funny. Its just frustrating and sad.

Currently I’m becoming swept up in decorating my recently reclaimed bedroom. My roommate, Carly, moved out this weekend in the final preparations to her upcoming nuptials on April 5th. So now I have a bedroom and and office. I’m taking the opportunity of having the empty room and no rush to move stuff into it to give it a look. Maybe “look” isn’t the appropriate word… its going to have a theme: Mardi Gras. I’ve been watching way too much Trading Spaces.

I know I have still never written about my amazing trip to Mardi Gras and to Harry’s Orpheus ball. I started a couple entries, but there is just too much to tell.

Its a very visual and auditory experience. I took this picture myself, with no zoom. It pleases me very much. That’s Harry’s oldest daughter, Georgia, with him

A lot of pictures I took and that my friend Erica took are posted on my connick.com boards. You need to scroll through most the pages in the thread to see them all (just ignore the comments, sometimes we are a little crazed… in a good way).

I can say honestly that it was the best time I’ve ever had on a trip ever. And I think that’s saying a lot because I’ve been my fair share of places and done my fare share of fun and cool things. Seeing Harry perform as close I did was worth it all, and all the other amazing times I had and people I met was just gravy. I’m already planning to go again next year.
