Standing on your feet all day really can wear you out, especially when one foot is swollen, itchy and in pain. Not only from the fire ant bites I had gotten on the first two days, but from flip flop injuries–the worst of which was between the first two toes on the same foot as [...]
New Orleans 2010: Take Me Back to New Orleans ALL NIGHT LONG!* (Jazz Fest and the Boobquake)
2010
It had been raining for several hours, torrential downpours that soaked you if you stood close enough to the tent opening where we had parked ourselves for the majority of the early afternoon while the thunder boomed around us. Yet there we were, among the crowd full of umbrellas and ponchos outside the Gentilly Stage, [...]
It takes a lot for me to like a city. It has to have a certain blend of character, beauty both naturally and architecturally, culture, and people. There has to be something unique about it, something that stands out. It has to elicit that feeling from me. You know the one. That feeling of ohmygod [...]
Girls Night Out or Just What the Doctor Ordered (but maybe not in such a large quantity?)
2010
Every once in a while I will have a night like last night. A night that starts innocently enough but ends up with one too many margaritas and/or wine (in the case of last night–BOTH) and leads to me tweeting every single drunken thought in my head as I laugh hysterically over a changed relationship [...]
Last night as I was standing on our porch, leaning way over the balcony to get a good look at the stars, I saw a shooting star. (Which was not the large, strange fireball seen in the midwest) The last time I saw one of those was about 10 years ago at a family reunion [...]
I watched Have You Heard About the Morgans? the other night, a movie about a couple who had to be put in the witness relocation program or some sort–basically moving them from NYC to Wyoming. It was sort of ironic since I have recently moved west from NYC and happened to be sitting in my bestests [...]
So we were sitting around the dinner table on Easter, my friend, her husband, her baby, her parents, her sister and her husband and her sister’s husband’s parents and I, all enjoying a turkey dinner. We were joking around about a number of things, discussing how Kira’s father wasn’t able to find any antlers but [...]
Over the past week I have been called Ho, Hieney, Booby, and Hammy. I also got really used to hearing the word no. You see, I was up in Wyoming for the week staying with my bestest, her husband and her rambunctious two year old. Last time I saw them she was just eighteen months [...]
April 1st. I thought I’d be in a different place by now. I thought for sure I’d have a job, that I’d have income coming in. Instead I am sitting at my dining room table the night before I leave for a week long vacation to Wyoming to visit Kira, one of my very best [...]
