Juke Joint or Nah?

So, awhile back I went to the Juke Joint....and let's just say it was an experience.

I was cute, and tipsy!

First off, I was so exicted about trying the Juke Joint. I heard it was a lot of fun and the food was amazing. So when Making Moves decided to attend, I was GAME!

First off, I dropped the ball and forgot to make reservations until it was too late. When I called that Wednesday, I was told they were booked up for Friday evening. Oh well. I figured how bad could the wait be.  

Crawfish

Well, when I arrived I was told the wait would be two hours or more. WTF?!?!?!? This place better be fantastic for this type of wait. I wanted to leave ASAP. But I didn't. Besides, I was waiting on a group. So, another organizer arrived and she suggested we sit at the bar. Yeah, that worked for me.

Well, I had a strong ass drink, can't remember the name but it was WONDERFUL. I enjoyed it very much, so yummy, so delish. Loved it. Then we saw a group leaving and sat at bar tables and ordered apps and dinner. I had the crawfish for apps. And ordered a herb roasted rosemary chicken, macaroni and cheese and collards for my meal. As we waited for our food, no one else who rsvp'd showed up. I was disappointed. People should know by know meetup is only what you put in. 

Once my food arrived I was so unsatisfied. My chicken was terrible. Bland, no flavor, no herb, no rosemary. The greens were tasty and the macaroni and cheese was AMAZING. I loved it, and ordered some to go.   

Pat's shrimp.

Overall, this place is a NAH! I wasted money for ok food. The live entertainment was awful and they charge a $5 fee for listening to it. I could have just ordered the macaroni and cheese and been ok. Plus, there is a charge to park. 

Mardi Gras Party Bus: A Look into New Orleans

So, I hope everyone is doing well. I am doing ok. This post is a break from sewing, it covers my trip to Nawlins for Mardi Gras!

So Making Moves took a turnaround trip to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras festivities. We went through a travel agency called Travel Divas. I was pretty excited about it, because it was a party bus.

Nawlins was swimming with people. I know, I know it was Mardi Gras, but there were people EVERYWHERE! I enjoyed myself though and was drunk as a fool all weekend. I will go again, but it probably won't be a turnaround trip.  

Next time I will have to stay a couple days. I was soooo tired on the way back. 

She didn't want to show boobs!

She really wanted too.

The food was so good.

Like my mask or nah?

Enchantment of the Seas in January

So this past January I set sail towards the Bahamas on the Enchantment of the Seas. Its one of Royal Caribbean's cruise ships. It was my first time on their ships. After all the tomfoolery it took me to get there, whoooo I was so happy to see the boat!

Big ole boat!

Of course once you get to the Port there is security, blah, blah, blah, blah. By this time I was hot, sweaty, stinky, and my pants kept falling off, I was toooooooooo through, plus I was STARVING! I just wanted to shower, change, and drink.

Of course, I couldn't shower, change, and drink first, because on cruises you don't get your luggage right away. So, all I could do was lay funky in bed and silently scream to myself. But I did eat, and it was the BOMB!

One of my plates! Delish!

Now once I got settled and started having fun, I had a blast. I met some nice people and it was nice to see the Bahamas in January. One of my favorite people I met was my personal bartender, he gave me so many free drinks. I enjoyed his company too, nice guy.

My personal bartender

Since I've been on Carnival cruise and Royal now, I made a little comparison in my head. First off, the ships on Royal are much nicer, they are big and have nice pretty spaces. Carnival has more to do on their ships though. At times, I got bored on Royal, lot of old people on board. Carnival's dinning room was so much better than Royal's. Steak and lobster were EXTRA.......I was so annoyed at that. Royal's buffet was slamming though. It was good every night, WAY better than Carnival's. Royal's stateroom was awesome, the better of the two hands down.

Personalized fan!

Now, we were supposed to port in Coco Cay and Nassau. We only made it to Nassau. I had a great time, don't get me wrong, BUT I will never cruise in January again. EVER!!!!!! It was windy, it rained off and on, and on the way back the current was extremly strong. People were holding onto walls, falling over and WOW! My stomach was churning the last night. I decided to just go to bed and get ready for the early morning.

Overall, I had a wonderful trip. It was beautiful and a nice break from the real world. Enjoy the pics below.

The Importance of Giving

So since last year I've really gotten into adopting a family and I love it. I love to give back, since I am blessed, I want to pass the blessings on. So my group Making Moves adopted a single mother and her daughter Isabella. Some of the items on their list are clothes, shoes, diapers (size 4), socks, toys, children's books. bathroom towels, toiletries, dinnerware, and cleaning products. We also would like to donate a gift card to Kroger so Lededra and her daughter can enjoy a Holiday dinner. I was really glad because some people signed up right away, but a little sad that only 3 people helped. I guess I just thought everyone would jump on board to help this family. Either way, we got a lot and this family was blessed. Big thanks to Geannene, Regina, and Kyla, you ladies are wonderful wonderful people and I couldn't be more honored to know you three. 

Thanks Regina for these items. Kyla thank you for the gift card!

We got so much stuff and good stuff too. We had 3 big bags full, I really hope the family enjoys these items.

Clothes for baby and mom!!

Dress for Isabella, it is Beautiful, so proud of myself.

These next items will make you cry, no lie, they are beautiful! Handmade stockings by Geannene. I am so proud to call this woman Mom!

Handmade stocking for Isabella

Stocking for mom, thanks so much Geannene

I was so proud when I dropped my items off. Nothing like Giving love for Christmas!

Why I LOVE Dave and Buster's

So our 2nd meetup was at Dave and Buster's. There is one in Marietta so that is the one I scheduled our meetup for.
First off so many people signed up and only one member shows up, so I was really upset, but besides that it was a lot of fun. I forgot how much fun it was but I really enjoyed myself. I drank, I ate. Everything was absolutely delicious. I had a Corona Rita.

It was tasty. Even though hardly no one showed. I still had a ball.

Our 1st Meet and Greet, and Scandal give me life

Rude ass people really really irk me. I mean, WHAT THE HELL!!! Yes, rude ass people really do annoy me. We have tried to come up with some real good ideas for these dumb ass people but they just want to sit around and collect dust. I am so disappointed by some of these people. Don't want to do anything. Either way, we had fun. It was just 4 of us but it was a lot of fun. If you're in the Atlanta area. Join my meetup group at www.meetup.com/making-moves

We would love to have you!

So I love Scandal. It is hands down the best show on tv. It is so well written and all the characters are perfect for their role. I love it, I think I'm going to start adding a review every Thursday to my blog.
