Last night, I went to meet a new friend at Swirl and to walk over to the Night Out Against Crime party on Esplanade. It’s an annual soire held at a neighbor’s house. I was wearing my wish box – a locket that my sister gave me many years ago. People ask about it all the time. T was asking about it and I said, that a year and a half ago when I was…
Went to eat at a friend’s restaurant for lunch today and highly recommend it. It’s the usual fare of poboys but they do delicious salads as well – I had the blackened chicken salad with their homemade honey mustard – yum! A friend got the shrimp and another friend the oyster poboy – all yummy as well. K recommended the roast beef but I need to get that bathing suit on while I sail around…
Joe came by yesterday to cut the grass and we were talking about his nephew who he witnessed being stabbed in front of him over a dice game. Joe said he’s not the number one witness in the case. Who is, I asked. “The number one witness is a woman who was standing across the street.” I asked, “What makes her the number one if you were sitting right there and it’s your nephew?” “She’s…
A woman. Yesterday, one woman made a grown man cry when she said she didn’t believe that he had cut her grass three times while she was out of the country. The lack of trust in someone who has been doing that job for more than a decade made him very sad. Yesterday, one woman made a grown man cry when she sought to please everyone and ended up pleasing no one.
Every day is in the upper 90s and air conditioners are going out all over town trying to keep up. Mom called and her’s is out, so she is on her way over now to spend the night. Of course, it began with the drama call where she said she was passing out from the heat. Good grief.
I have an issue with trust – I trust so implicitly at the onset that I think I set the whole thing on a timer to destruct at some later point. Maybe the lesson is to not trust so much at the onset, but instead to build trust. Because the one thing for certain is that when the trust is broken, I can’t get it back. Try as I might, I just don’t think I…
Here are a couple of observations from last night: When couples break up, they tend to look better than when they were hooked up. Some people turn into a kitchen witch when they are cooking [it takes one to know one]. J and P said they looked me up on the internet and I had 12 addresses in California – let’s see, I lived on Page, Mason, Vermont, and then bought the house in Marin…
40 miles this morning on the bike as we get ready for this MS ride – which will be 150 miles. By the end, with the sun high up in the sky, I was starting to feel it. All us girls headed to Russell’s Marina Grill afterwards and rewarded ourself with an onion mum (home of, no less) and a seabreeze (made with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice) and eggs Ponchartrain (like Benedict except with a…
I was staying in last night to hang out with my girls (Arlene and Loca) but J called and said that G&T were over and they were taking the boat out. I’ve chided her about that boat – I have a canoe and want to get a kayak, but she has an inflatable with an electric motor. Well no more chiding. That boat rocks. I got in and laid back and we had music playing,…
For running a catastrophe story on New Orleans that is timed so conveniently on the second anniversary of Katrina and should keep the tourist away for another five years as well as drive those residents who have been on the fence away as well. Nothing iike “the sky is falling” attention grabbing journalism.
