My Response to MY Dear Aunt B.

do you know why i listen to you, because i have matured (rather quickly) and discovered that i am not the only one who's opinion matters & there are smarter "more knowledgeable" people than myself - it took many years to discover this, and once i did - i began calling you EVERYDAY (sometimes, more than once, twice a day) because sharing your life with someone else, asking opinions, getting advice from someone like you is a privilege for me

i see many of my friends who dont cherish their parents & i feel honored to have someone like you in my life who knows almost everything, cheers me on, and helps me out - eric, alexis, whitney .. ETC... will figure it out eventually, im grateful i discovered it sooner!

i think the loss of Gremo, my confidant, caused me to rethink many things - i was able to rely on her for so much, but i never truly appreciated it - i took it for granted. with YOU i dont, CANT - take it for granted - life is fragile and i thank God for everyday you are in it and i am able to speak with you because its another day that i can better my own life by hearing from you - this may sound silly, but yours is the advice i trust above all others because YOU are the most wonderful woman in the world!!!

how could i ever find a wife that is good enough? she will need to be sent to "Barbie Bootcamp" because i want her to be just like you EXCEPT for: a better bladder, no silly superstitions, and able to drive HEHE

i love you dearly

saved blog 629

Been riding with my dad, and we get along okay – we are very much alike but drive each other nuts. He claims hes the BOSS and that I need to do everything he says, but it’s different from his other hires because this is a father son relationship also … he tells everyone that I will go to work for him, but I'm not 100% sure about that, and it drives me nuts when he keeps doing that.

Like today when we went to subway and it was hot inside of the subway shop I said “dad, its too hot in here” and suggested we should eat outside, he got so mad – he hates eating outside – so he threw a little temper tantrum and I cussed at him, and we had to eat in the car (it was a nice day, breezy, and descent temperature)

Or the other day, he always tells me “never park in the front of a store, but when he wants to – he parks right in front, I have a photo. He is very hypocritical, I like to say “Bill would drive himself crazy, if Bill wasn’t Bill” for example, at the causeway – you give your toll tag, if anyone in the “toll only” lane is required to stop, he gets mad and honks – well, dads doesn’t always work either, so the other day, he was stopped behind someone and the guy behind him honked and dad turned around and flipped him off, which was like flipping himself off because he had done it just the other day – and 2 days later, he had to stop himself because his tag didn’t scan properly

Today we went to baton rouge and paid my apartment bill and got some items out of my old apt. and got to see my new, one bedroom – which is going to fit me just fine. Its on the first floor, F108 I think – my old one was N122. I really like my apt complex and I'm glad I'm staying there because its gated and secure there at oakbrook
We opened the new Harahan homestore last week, that was crazy – we assembled all the furniture and priced it and … it was nuts. I worked in the back with Tim Oleary, Melanie MEL, Debra, Peggy (at times) Bill Jolly, and Sue (at times) – we had a great time back there, it was like my old comeaux days. We assembled mostly chairs the first day or so, then coffee tables, sofa tables, dining room and entertainment. Mel and I worked together the most and really bonded, I really like her – she has the funniest accent LIKE A NEW YORKA, and smells good. She smokes these tiny little “straw” cigaretts and I had one, it was good, it was menthol and costs $7 a pack, pretty expensive, so I felt bad for bumming it from her so I only asked her once – I smoked 5 cigaretts that week, the normal smokers (in the back) were Walter, Bill, Mel and some others but those were the ones I rembr. While we were there, there was an accident with the huey p long bridge, they were taking a 200ft long beam to the huey from airline on clearview and right behind the new store, it flipped off the flatbed and cracked the road and a few lightpoles, it took 3 days to clean it up totally and it weighed about 100 tons, so it took a big crane to pick up.
This weekend we got to babysit my little cousin, Lila Kay, she is the sweetest, cutest baby and the most even tempered – she hardly ever gave us trouble.

Today we are leaving for Birmingham Alabama, for a computer conference for Ashley. June 30 2010. After this weekend we will go to my cousins house for the fourth of july, we stayed @ this house in Mobile for Katrina. Supposedly my grandpa and cousin Lila will be there, but who knows – I never let my hopes get up, even for the trip to the west indies that we will embark on in 12 days, but like I said – I don’t usually like to get my hopes up on going because its usually a let down. I have a lot of practice with this with the saints, they were usually a let down (save for last year) and I was used to not getting my hopes up about anything really. (update: we were able to go to st kitts, beautiful island)

bucked off of the horse in madison miss.

demi, i rembr'd that time we were trying to ride those horses in madison and we rode them and it was fun so you and i went back, i was dressed really nicely with my new sweater, i tried to get you to ride it and you said no so i jumped on it and it bucked me off and into the mud - that was soo funny'

the horses normally allowed us to ride on them but this time they werent having it - sarah po & i succesfully rode them and took photos but this one got me right in the mud.

we rode them saddleless and hopped on their backs by coaxing them to the wooden fence with food, then jumping on them

my dogs in baton rouge

it was so fun, i had my 2 dogs bandit and boots as house guests for saturday night, sunday, and monday morning - its great to have them but its work - you have to watch that bandit doesnt pee everywhere, wipe their paws off after you bring them in - and clean up after they leave (which i am doing now)

i took them on my mile jog on LSU's campus, then brought them to see the indian mounds, the quad, and mike the tigers pen - boots got scared when she smelled mike - it was funny

bandit is so cute, he loves you be by you but not for too long - boots loves to cuddle. i had a great time with the pups and met mom today to trade them bak in at backyard burger - we had a bacon burger and the fries were really good.

i took a shortcut to the interstate that i thought was a shortcut and it said "road closed" and me being stupid took it anyway and i went 15 minutes out of my way to get in and the road was really closed, i had to turn around and go all the way back.

washed my big toe for the first time ever in the sink, i cut it while using the nail clipper and it bled a lot! bandit tried to lick it, i stopped him really quickly.

mardi gras tomorrow, and i have to study - i have a lot of work to do if i am to graduate in may FINGERS CROSSED
