It's beautiful. I haven't been back since I moved away. Living on a small island was an interesting experience for sure

Dallas itself is awful as far as driving.
We drove to Denver last year (side quest to Wyoming). It sounds great to say Colorado is only 3 states away. But dammit, one of those states is Texas.

I went to college in Connecticut and then lived on Nantucket for a year. It was definitely a good experience for my young self. And I didn't really intend to stay long term when I came back 33 years ago, but here we are.

Great typo. I meant to say GOOD reasons. There aren't any food reasons to leave Louisiana. 🙂

There are a lot of food reasons to live other places, for sure. But I'm probably here for the duration. Unless both my kids leave, maybe. My extended family is all here too, pretty much.

Fun night at trivia. Kids and friends showed up. 3rd place. Then we hopped over to Snug Harbor to see our neighbor perform. Great set.
I love this city, as messed up as it is. I am fully expecting jackhammers tomorrow when they come back to work on our street. 😂

It was either that or cross the river. At that same hotel, there were a few times I had to send our maintenance guy to Port Allen for champagne for the honeymoon suite.

My husband saw the sign for those once and somehow thought it was cigars. He said "Are those legal now?" We still laugh about that.

Remembering when I worked at a hotel in Baton Rouge and was trying to explain to French guests that Tabby's Blues Box was closed on Sunday because it was a bar.
Thankfully, they finally loosened up on blue laws after Katrina.

It got suspiciously quiet out there.

A crew starting to cut the road in front of my house.

Seems a bit late in the day to start this. Feels like a multi-day project.

I'm so sorry.

First world problem, Louisiana edition: my good right handed roux spoon is in Baton Rouge. We have two left ones here because Mike is the gumbo cook.

What a time to be alive.

So apparently either our trash can or the neighbors' disappeared.
We're in a double. Never really kept track of whose was whose.

My husband used to be a facilitator.

Tomorrow.

I was thinking the same thing.

Oh, no. 😱

Hope the move is going well!

🥶 This is the first cold day in our current place. These high ceilings have a downside. 😂

Bakery bag with bagels, cookies, Danish, and a croissant. Prepared food with an egg salad sandwich, a chicken Caesar salad, a tuna wrap, and a container of chicken salad.
Gonna taste test the cookies soon.

I had notifications on. I reserved them last night. They always go fast, and I happened to be on my phone when they went live.

Scored 2 Too Good To Go bags from Whole Foods today. Woo-hoo!

We used to order from Magazine pizza a good bit when we lived in the LGD. It was sometimes a bike.

Maybe even better than the headline: "The Louisiana Board of Ethics voted to reduce Hutson’s fine for filing the annual report for the Orleans Jedi Guardian political action committee, where she is the chairperson, three weeks late."
WHY DOES HER PAC SOUND LIKE A CHEWBACCHUS SUB-KREWE?

Me too. Solid food, nice vibe.

Same. MRB serves it that way and they have pretty good gumbo, so I'll pop in and get some there now and then.

Sometimes people need to learn a lesson.

I think that's a felony is Ascension Parish.
