A friend sent me an email this morning saying she felt like a woman again after having a wonderful night with her new beau. Another friend sent a text message asking if it was okay to just bypass dinner tonight with her date and get down to business. After a day of being swept in one thousand directions, I drove into the parking lot and my neighbor was sitting on the curb drinking an Abita…
Mr. Pelican has brought a friend back with him. Soaring and diving into the bayou. Awesome.
Hoping the Voodoo Fest does something for the gris gris that is floating around these parts – everyone seems crotchety, including me. Take this simple exchange – it’s a bad habit of mine to care more than I should – so today when I voiced my concern about someone and the response was “okay mother” – “blech” was all I had to say to myself. I’ve never liked the idea of women who mother men…
D, who was my best man at my wedding many years ago, writes me from the trenches telling me he is spending too much money looking for Mr. Right and so he has decided to budget himself till the end of the year – I don’t know if he is referring to men or money. I went for a run this afternoon and the LaLa was humming – the siding is almost finished on the…
This morning I took the Bean out in the pitch dark of morning to walk around the bayou. We made our circle near General Beauregard’s statue and were headed back when the sky broke into this scarlet gauzy red. Awestruck, we crossed the Friendship bridge and as we were making our way back to the Can, a rainbow peaked out from behind the clouds and suddenly grew more intensely visible and wider stretching all the…
Well the rotten mood seems pervasive amongst all my peeps. G back from NY in a foul humor. T down the hall said to watch out because she’s in a nasty mood. Meanwhile, on Sunday when S came by to talk about the house he said we needed hinges and asked if I wanted to pay the expense of having the old kind of brass balltop hinges to match the rest of the house and…
I drove by mom’s house on my way back from Metairie and caught her trying to water her decrepit looking flowers with this huge watering can. The past two times I was there she had this totally retarded guy doing her flowers. I say that not kindly – because he is a freak not someone with a disability – she lent him money and he could never pay her back so she told him to…
My truck has been held hostage by the slow Veterans Ford who discovered that I had all sorts of rocks and debris in my rotors on my brakes. Meanwhile, I rode my bike to E’s and we had a good fun session. I told her I don’t feel in control of my emotions and she laughed. Duh, you can’t control your emotions, she said. Well I want to, I said. And she laughed again. I’m…
Would it be great to have Oscar Wilde at a cocktail party? The only thing that sustains one through life is the consciousness of the immense inferiority of everybody else, and this is a feeling that I have always cultivated. – Oscar Wilde
Jeffrey Skilling gets 24 years for screwing over countless people not to mention an entire country and investors and my brother gets 30 years for messing around with a savings and loan? Good grief, surely there is no justice in this world. Unbelievable.
