I miss Zoe. I'm sure I will write that every day. So just deal with it.
New Orleans - A rememberance:
"Go hoochie or go home." (yes, I was showing some cleavage - thanks to the miracle that is the engineering of my bra)
"Throw me some beads. I'm not going to flash you, but I can't see you without my glasses so SHE will have to catch them for me."
"I can't taste the alcohol in this drink."
"She's flirting with everything that has a dick."
"What's in a hand grenade?"
"Take my picture."
"What do you do in Houston?"
"She's a prostitute"
Kissing a strange gorgeous man. (but then checking my purse after to see if he was a pickpocket)
Upgrade on my hotel room for being a single mom with some time off from me kiddo. Yay for sympathetic front desk clerks.
Driving to New Orleans and back in that short period of time sucked. I knew that it would. Especially on the way back, post hangover and nauseated.
What dumbass decided that it would be smart to put two lane freeway between here and Louisiana? And on the way back, damn Louisiana put these roads that have so many bumps it's like a freaking obstacle course. I'm like... they must really HATE Texans to do that to us. You are already tired and sick, so then they make the ride back miserable.
As far as Bourbon Street - well that probably will be my last time down there. I did that (and better) ten years ago in Austin. Not much to offer for me there.
But I would go back and do the touristy tour / history kind of thing. There was so much to look at that I could have used a few more days there. I want to go down the Mighty Mississippi. I want to go on the cemetary/ghost tour. I want to relax and eat in a tiny cafe. I want to be touristy/non-touristy.
It would be a cool place to go with The Boy For Sex for a long weekend. But what I'd do to him there could easily be done in my apartment.
I think I'm still hungover. It's going to be a long work day.
And I miss my Zoe.
To my girls: I love you Meerkat and Pleather. I couldn't have picked any better to hit the road with.
