Tonight Swirl is having its one year anniversary, so the girls (and boys) are headed over to raise a toast in congrats for their hard work in making that wine store such a community gathering spot and such a success!
So my attorney who shall remain nameless called Mr. and Mrs. Ugly Neighbor’s attorney and told them the wire has to go. And so we’ll see. Their attorney just learned his mother is very ill and so the last thing he wants to think about is a silly wire. My mother on the other hand got a clean bill of health from the doctor but was advised to quit smoking and drinking (you think?).
I remember the first time I watched Grey’s and saw the love triangle of best friends and the wife, and of course, she was a redhead, and of course, her husband was the great guy, and the love was the cad, and I thought wow – someone is writing about my life. Well, last night I watched an episode on my DVR that was from a few months ago and in it, the red head…
Last night I was driving my car to Pilates in my dream and went downtown where I saw New Orleans in a state of disrepair. It looked like Planet of the Apes. Buildings were sunk in the ground, and suddenly my car was driving through underground tunnels that had appeared because the whole street level had moved two floors down. On all sides of me was iconic New Orleans architecture – columns with acanthus leaves,…
The wrought iron fence went in today courtesy of David Borgerding. It looks fabulous – I mean really takes the whole thing; hey, it was the missing piece, if there was a missing piece – but he came to install it as I was leaving for Pilates and a woman drove by in a big huge Hummer and she said, I LOVE YOUR HOUSE!, and I just smiled. She said I’ve been watching since pre-Katrina.…
It was a week of turbo work and health issues – the baby’s MRI was wonderfully negative. My friend’s MRA – she won’t call to get the results because she says she wants to enjoy her evening. My mother was driven home from the office yesterday, she calls and says, hi, how are you?, I was driven home because I have the classic signs of a heart attack. Stop. What? Yes, but it wasn’t. I…
Yesterday, at the end of a very gnarly workday, I started running a bath and then went outside to my graden with a cup of tea and sat down – ahhhh – the butterflies were still cruising the flowers, the grass looked perfect – I was in Valhalla. Wrong – I looked up and my asshole neighbor has run a wire across my backyard to his shed behind. I tried to ignore it. But I…
The death of analog! All televisions will be digital. The feds are starting to require that as of right now anyone who sells a television has to inform the buyer that an analog television set will not work in 2009. Want an investment tip – digital television manufacturers.
Today, Carolyn Hax wrote about something that was of interest to me, if only because I have spent a lifetime with a girlfriend, who is always way more beautiful than me. I know, hold up, that isn’t exactly true, I see my beauty, but these women are the kind that attract men like a fly to a spider web. I know why I do this – I’m Cinderella. My mother and sister are stunningly beautiful…
The great part about living in the Gulf South and in particular, New Orleans, are the afternoon thunderstorms that have typically a grand crescendo, then the sky opens and a waterfall pours out. The smell is unique to Louisiana – I’ve recognized from a plane hovering over New Orleans. A colleague wrote about how wonderful the smell of the desert is after a storm. I imagine it to have a certain sweet freshness to it…
