Em,
This is so long over due it’s ridiculous, but I’ve committed to birthday letters and you will get one for your 6th birthday, damn it. Even if it is closer to your 18th, then 6th. Almost. Anyway, you deserve a birthday letter, and I would really be sad if I didn’t take the time to [...]

This town has been positively electric this week, culminating in last night’s game. This is the first time this city has rallied together around something, since Katrina. We really needed this.
Watching the Tigers march down the field in that 4th quarter drive was better than Christmas. Hopefully this march will continue until we arrive at [...]

At 9:38 am two years ago today, Katrina breached New Orleans’ levees, changing everything.

Can you please stop churning out Katrina/post Katrina series, specials, reality shows and the lot? I am just not fucking ready, and really think you have no right.
all the best,
Erika

2. When you have guests, they expect to be fed, EVERY DAY. You have to cook MEALS, sometimes twice a day. This is [...]

Edited: The links no matter work, half the posts were lost in the server crash, and the other half I just haven’t linked back up yet. Sorry.
Yesterday was my six month anniversary with this blog, but did it take me out to dinner? No. Typical.
I did how ever manage to spend some time going over [...]

I hurt, emotionally. I’m exhausted, physically. I’m disappointed in my government. I’m proud of people, everyday ordinary people, who have stepped up to the plate and handled things the best way they know how. I guess that’s it, in a nut shell. So much has happened and our lives have been changed forever. I don’t [...]

Well we’re officially up and running at full capacity over here. All is well with me and mine. I’m still not sure when regular posting will resume, (other than updates), we have a full house and my time and mood do not permit it at this point.
Thank you for all your well wishes, thoughts and [...]
