Cooler Fete 2k11

Whomever came up with the “cooler fete” concept is a genius (I’m sure that most, if not all Trinis will agree).  $25 entrance, walk with ur cooler (translated, u eh spening a dime when u get there – unless u want food) full or not full of drinks.  ANY size, shape, colour, texture cooler.  I wish i had my phone as i was making my way thru the crowd to take a picture of the blow up kids’ pool that i saw full of liquour (that was a 1st – at least for me).

Now, i knew that cooler fete was Saturday nite; it’s the 1 fete here that i always look forward to every year and what did i do?  instead of keeping my ass quiet (see Spoon Theory) for the day, i did all sorts of things – had a massage, got my nails done, went to lunch blah blah blah…so even though i was feeling okay when i got home, by the time fete time rolled around i had about 3 spoons left!! ugh!!!  Didn’t let that stop me (altho i was mat at myself) and as it turned out, we were as far from the restroom as we could have been!, so u can just imagine the mess i was in when the stupid ass cops (ASSHOLES have nothing better to do with their time but mess up a very good time) stopped the party and sent us packing!  This time around, i allowed K and H to carry me out (they formed a seat with their hands – isn’t there a name for that hold?  i normally politely decline whenever someone asks if i want to be carried) because, of course, we would probably now be getting to the car if i’d walked out on my own.

Good time, altho i know better and should not have galavanted all day like i have unlimited number of spoons to play with!

Back to Normal

last week Thursday was the 1st nite since my ordeal that i didn’t feel dizzy, so apart from a faint red spot under my eye, i am back to my 100%.  whew!  hopefully i won’t have any more horror stories to tell for a while…someone told me last week that I’m due for a quiet non eventful next few months and i completely agree.  In fact if that is the last “drama-filled, falling” story ever, I wont’ complain at all!

Atlanta carnival is coming up on Memorial weekend so getting ready for cooler fete this weekend; it’s the 1 fete i actually look forward to every year because it is generally very good.  Last year at cooler fete, i had my 6 Kaliber in it because i wasn’t drinking – LOL!  good times/memories.   Atlanta carnival has soooooo much potential (it’s the 1st one in N. America, it’s on a holiday weekend) but it’s absolutely NOTHING to write home about (so unfortunate).  in fact, we will just be liming hard (harder than usual) as opposed to doing anything “carnival like” – I think; I actually thought about going to FL that weekend instead.

Anyhoo, so things are normEl on my end; no stress, no worries and things are right with the world once more!
