sorry....

i know it's been a long time since i've posted, haven't had the itch to. been busy dealing with the craziness at work, worrying about "the move" that's coming up in less than 7 weeks. thank the gods that i don't have to worry about all that packing. it's great to have someone else handle that for a change. my hubby and i have had to manage 3 moves in the last 3 years, 1 cross country, almost completely by ourselves save the help we did get from a few close friends and family members. this move, hopefully the last one for a long while, will find us back at my old stomping grounds surrounded by family (mine, not his) which has its good points, as well as its bad points. mind you, i won't be getting involved with the family drama unless it's absolutely necessary. it had better be life threatening otherwise don't call me! i'm not dealing with their he-said-she-said pissy little spats, life is too short for that.

on another note, i just recently had the opportunity to visit new orleans for the first time and enjoyed myself thoroughly. I was pleasantly surprised that new orleans was, shall we say, grander than i expected. this is my favorite picture from our trip...



the bright, vibrant colors present in the architect of the french quarters is right up my alley. the down side you ask? the trip lasted less than 48 hours and i'm having these cravings for beignets.
