Louisiana Life

Louisiana is a crazy place.

I have eaten fried frog legs, fried alligator, crawfish stew, fried crawfish, shrimp spaghetti, chicken and sausage spaghetti, and barbecue spaghetti. The barbecue spaghetti has to be THE worst thing I've eaten down here...actually, it's probably the worst thing I've EVER eaten. I found out yesterday that barbecue spaghetti isn't even a "normal" Louisiana cuisine. Don's mom apparently invented it.

People around here don't get in a hurry to do anything unless they're driving, and they all drive like lunatics. People driving trucks are the worst. I was just going to say "Men driving trucks..." but that wouldn't have been fair, because Don's mom was driving a truck when I first moved here and that was pretty scary.

It is HOT down here. I've probably sweat 25 years worth of sweat over the past couple of months. I was also going to say that people here are lazy, but they're probably lazy because they're so hot.

I am never getting married again. If, for some reason, Don and I don't work out, I will have no qualms about becoming a spinster cat lady.

I will be returning shortly!

It's Gayle, bitch. (I just wanted to say that!)

Don will be here on January 3rd to drive to Louisiana with me! We're going to hang around for a few days before leaving. I'm hoping we'll be able to make a stop at Panini Pete's in Alabama on our way to LA. I saw it featured on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and I'd really like to try it!

I picked up my new eyes yesterday:

There are white polka dots on the inside of the frame. You can't see them but I can. It's like a secret...shhh! I was looking at the polka dots while I was walking around at work and that slightly impaired my ability to walk, so I know not to do that again.

I had a little old lady tell me that my car is "darling!"

I only have 4 MORE DAYS of classes this semester! I can't wait until it's over! I'll have time to read again!

I'm beginning my Christmas shopping this weekend! The only thing I enjoy almost as much as shopping for myself is shopping for others! ;D

I made a 102 on my first Anthropology test!

I love this song. If I were a lesbian, Ingrid Michaelson would be the woman of my dreams.

I hate to admit it, but I also like Britney Spears' new song. It's not really a great song, but it's very catchy!

I'm tired of writing papers. I've already had to write 3 and I have 4 more to write this semester.

I started playing Kingdom Hearts on my PS2 this past weekend and it's fun! I love Disney

I wish my computer wouldn't shut down every time I try to play a game. Some days I'm lucky if I can watch a video on YouTube while iTunes is open. Don't want to overexert yourself there, computer, you only get to rest all day while I'm in class and at work!

I need to reactivate my Netflix account when I get paid next week.

I haven't been able to watch Gossip Girl for the past few weeks and I kind of miss it.

I made an 'A' on my English essay/test thing! I made an 'A' on my math test! I didn't make an 'A' on my other math test, but that's okay because I still passed it! I still haven't found out what I made on my first Anthropology essay. I've been excited about that one because I actually had fun writing it.

 

Tomorrow is Don's last day at the Wal-Mart store that he has been working at for the past several years. One of his co-workers decided that today would be the appropriate day for her to tell him that she has a crush on him. She has been keeping her crush a secret because of his position at the store. She figured that, now that he's moving to another store, he's fair game. Silly girl!
