Bianca decided to get frisky, inspired by the refilling of the bird feeders after they sat empty for about a year and a half. I’d stopped taking care of them because, and this might sound like a Capt. Obvious moment, but…they just ate it. It’s not their eating that’s a problem, but the piggishness of [...]

Ali came home with roomie Elizabeth for LSU’s Fall Holiday, which ran from Wednesday afternoon through the weekend. All of which would’ve been much more fun if they weren’t both totally sick- Ali with a sinus infection/cold, Elizabeth with allergies/cold and needing a little TLC. Which, in this case, consisted of a combination of being [...]

Listening for Jesus was one of the prompts for this week, and I decided to take it in a rather odd direction. Granted, I decided to do this from 10pm-1am last night (remembering the deadline was midnight. Ah hem.), so the time might’ve had a little something to do with the decision. Still, I got [...]

I don’t want to go into too much detail, but it’s been a tough week. Many little things went wrong along with one massive and unforeseen thing. A terrible accident has taken Zulu way way before his time. I have been more devastated than I could have ever imagined possible by the loss of a [...]

Yesterday Travis & Coheed were in town to work on a Habitat house with the guys from Linkin Park. Turns out LP started a charity after the tsunami called Music for Relief, and they’ve since branched out into different projects. Coheed’s been on the road with Linkin Park and were happy to get involved. It [...]

After the crazy night before, it was off to Amelia Street, where Alison works as a sitter over Mardi Gras. Most of her charges were riding in Tucks (which follows Iris), so she had some free time to hang out with her cousins. The twins are 8- Marisa is dark haired and normally the shy [...]

Muses was a little rough this year- the parade was put off because of bad weather on Thursday. Tacked onto the end of Friday, they got going late and suffered a bunch of delays. We packed it in around 11:30 so the little ones would have some rest before getting up for Tucks in the [...]

Always political, always biting, always hysterical, D’Etat is high on the list of favorites. The parade starts with the guys in skeleton costumes handing out their newspaper, detailing the floats and the meanings behind them- a fantastic idea because between how quickly they go by and jumping around for beads you can miss a lot [...]

Whew. A strange and wonderful Carnival has come and gone, and it’s taken me a full 2 days to recover. The last guest left on Wednesday afternoon, so I guess really it only counts as one day on our own, but whatever. Friday was the first day we went out, and it was a doozy. [...]
