Driving in Style

Had to take a quick trip to New Orleans for a work meeting. This is the rental car class I paid for:

Intermediate: Pontiac G5, Nissan Sentra or similar 2 0r 4 doors.


This is what I wound up with:


Black 2010 Camaro
BAM!

The trip was very whirlwind--arrived Tuesday night, attended a noon meeting Wednesday and drove home Wednesday night. Alas, no time for beignets or shopping or any of the touristy things I so love. But my ride was totally cool.

Spring Blooms!

Lately, Matthew and I have been on the receiving end of some generous acts of kindness that have left us speechless. These acts have not only reminded us of how blessed we are, but they have also inspired me to pass along this spirit of generosity.

For the last two weeks, I've been pretty stressed with work. I've got a great project to work on. Easily the biggest thing I've been involved with as a freelancer, but it's quite a challenge. On Wednesday, I was pretty down about it all when the doorbell rang. It was a delivery. A flower delivery. For moi.



Up walks the delivery lady with this ginormous arrangement! It's incredible and makes the house smell so good. I couldn't wait to read the card. I recently did a story on an adorable local family with an amazing garden. They sent these as a thank-you. Instant day changer! I just had to share a picture.
They didn't have to send these, but they sure came at just the right time!

No Joke

Good news for Shreveport nicotine addicts and alcoholics who wish to multitask. You can now pay your water bill while you get your fix. It was announced in our last bill that water payments may now be paid at such establishments as Discount Tobacco, LA Discount Tobacco Outlet, and Thrifty Liquor Stores.
