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.
