HEEEEERE!!! | July 1, 2010
WHOA! I’m in New Orleans…Holy Crap! This is so exciting! I have showered. James is doing my laundry (he’s so lovely).My sister Monster just brought me a strawberry beer and told me I have a cute butt. Monster, James, and I are about to go out for pasta and then “celebrate” whatever that entails.
There was a toilet paper finish line and celebratory Mardi Gras beads!! Hoorah!
I saw such interesting road kill today: bull frogs, fish, AND….BABY ALLIGATORS. Plus I saw two living baby raccoons cross the road, some super interesting crustaceans hanging out on the shoulder, and awesome looking birds (could they be cranes?). James got a flat tire, my front brakes went out, we got super dirty, dirtiest ever, and were evading hurricane Alex all day long. We were on the road for ten and a half hours and went approx 80 miles.
And now I’m heeeere!

This made me so, so happy reading this–yay for you Sheila! You are such a beautiful light, and I thought it was hilarious that you call your sister “sister monster”
Love, Jennifer
