We were under the impression that they had already left. Apparently they haven’t, and they’re not going to. They’re staying. They’re actually in Slidell, which is on the eastern side of Lake Pontchartrain, opposite of New Orleans. Blue star= Slidell, Red X= New Orleans So Gustave is set to hit toward the western side of [...]
Ryan just sent a message saying they’re not coming. I’m not counting on anything because I can’t get in touch with him to find out the whole story. This could be coming from the middle of trying to make a decision on what to do; it could be that they’ve had enough travel with all [...]
So they can’t go to Atlanta because that’s where the other half of the family is going….yet they still have way more room than we do….(no I’m not bitter….) The two extras coming are an older lady…Ryan’s thinking older than his mother for sure…we’re hoping he’s wrong, and her paraplegic daughter. Aside from being emotional [...]
Yeah so Ryan just got the call from his mom that 4 people, 6 dogs (all small), and 2 cats will be on their way HERE sometime tomorrow. I mean, I sorta knew their only options of places to go would be here or Atlanta as all the rest of the family are there right [...]
Just as we hit the three-year anniversary for hurricane Katrina, Louisiana is being threatened with Gustav, potentially another devastating hurricane. A lot of areas around New Orleans have already started mandatory evacuation (unfortunately I can’t seem to find any list of cities and parishes that have….anyone know?) and it’s stated that if Gustav continues its [...]
I got a really great night of sleep last night. I went to bed around 9 and probably didn’t make it until 9:30. I woke up about twice for one reason or another, but otherwise slept through till after 9am. It was great. Tonight I’m paying for it. I’m alone for the weekend and apparently [...]
I keep forgetting everything outside of school this week! I need to pick up a gift for my dad and decide, for sure, when I’ll swing through town. I need to make a few phone calls. I need to call about a prescription, I need to call my dental insurance provider to figure out a [...]
So of course after blistering my heels yesterday, I had to shove them into shoes for work, where I found myself in a night of more walking around than usual. To top it off, I slammed a flat cart into the more painful blister. Those carts hurt. They do some damage all on their own, [...]
Never wear new shoes when you have to walk a mile. Today I wore shoes I knew were a little ill-fitting, but in the past they haven’t been very bothersome. Of course, I’ve never had to walk much further than across a parking lot in them. Today I wore them to class and got a [...]
Happy Birthday to my daddy and Ryan’s mommy! Today, Ryan’s mom is 55 and my daddy is 56. Isn’t it cool that they share a Birthday? We took care of Michelle’s gift while we were there. We looked at home gyms she might be interested in, but ultimately we went in with Vanessa to set [...]
