Since Katrina and before, my grandma had been on a downward spiral. Physically she was ok, but mentally, she was steadily going. Didn't remember who anyone was, forgot things a lot within a matter of minutes, things like that. She had been staying up in Missouri with my aunt. Every once in a while we would get progress reports on her and such. ( Read more... )

Yeah, so I've been grinding through Shaiya. Bummer that the server that I play on is down. I tried playing on the other servers but I've just put too much time and money into the first server. I've got a lvl 45 HM that's well on her way to surpassing the ranks of my 51 NM and I can't bear the thought of starting at rock bottom all over again. ( Read more... )

Which brings me to now. Time to sleep.

The breakfast thsi morning seemed better. For as much as I like bacon, the sausage patty was a nice change. S.O.S. ($#!% on Slates, which is biscuits with white gravy,) eggs and lemon tea instead of ornage juice.

The storm is moving in. There were tornados reported ( Read more... )

Finally made it into Arkansas. We got a little turned around but we stopped at a visitor's center and got our bearings straight. We're going the right way now. I do know how to read a map, you know.

I don't want to watch T.V. It's too depressing to see it happen again. I don't want to count my losses ( Read more... )

So we'vre at it again. Hurricane Gustav is threatening the Louisiana Gulf Coast. We left home at 2:21 PM because there is a mandatory evacuation for St. Bernard Parish for 4:00. We're sitting in traffic on I-10. Our detination is West Helena, Arkansas. It's only supposed to be a 6-8 hour ( Read more... )

Before I really get into stuff, let me start off with this. ALL OVER A FREAKIN BIT OF CHEESE???!!!

Now on to other things. I managed to save my sim chip so I get to keep my same number. I got all my new phone stuffs and I am a happy person... sort of. Everyone who knows me knows how much I "love cats" *gags*. Well, there was this cat that's ( Read more... )

So, it's been one of those days...

Weather was looking fine this morning. No big deal. A bit before lunch, it starts getting cloudy and raining. It rains all the time in Harahan and it like... NEVER floods there. Documart didn't flood, which was a good thing. However, the streets were still very flooded and stuff. There were newscasts of roads ( Read more... )

This is a video thing one of my fellow Hannanites (people who went to Archbishop Hannan High) put together. He's got a promising future in this. I've seen a lot of comparison videos but this one really wrenched my gut. I guess because of the haunting old memories of video incorporated. I cried the first time I saw it. This time I was only on ( Read more... )

Okay, so everyone that has talked to me knows how much of a (dare I say it) nervous wreck I am behind the wheel. It terrifies me to no end, knowing that by pushing this little pedal, that I can crank an engine into going speeds of imaginable magnitudes. Well, today, I've faced a massive fear. I once again got behind the wheel and took control. ( Read more... )
