I am the Big Easy's bitch.

So I went to Mississippi. I stayed for 5 days in my husband's ex-wife's house. I spent Easter Sunday with her family. I visited her parents. And you know what? it was a great time. Turns out Cheryl's father was best friends with my Great-Uncle. Her family was flat out amazingly nice, incredibly generous, and a pleasure to be around. All that dread for nothing. The kids all had the best time together, and we even got to go out and do adult things without the benefit of Brodie. Don't get me wrong, the earth revolves around my baby, but sometimes a girl needs to get away. The Gulf Coast is surpisingly pretty, and what I thought would be a long, awful trip was exactly what the doctor ordered. I wentt to New Orleans for the first time and LOVED the joint. Walked along the French Quarter. Smoked cigars with Cheryl at Pat O'Briens over white russians, much to the shock of the tourists nearby. What, girls can't have cigars? It was vanilla flavored and dainty. Saw Lafit's Bar - am I spelling it right? I don't know - got a rather large strawberry daquiri, cruised the shops on Bourbon Street, checked out the men on the street... Marie Leavaux's store was cool, I could have spent way too much in there. There was so much there to do, I can't go into it all. I can't wait to go back. That's what I'll be saving my pennies for, so I can get smashed and wander around down there, buy crap in the market... ~Sighs~ It was awesome, period. If there's jobs down there... might just end up in dirt-cheap Mississip'. And you know what else? I am feeling really good. Really. I think I'm done with rp, certainly for the time being. It doesn't do anything for me anymore, which I'm actually pretty cheesed about. It's an empty pursuit anyway, at least for me. Why immerse myself in an imaginary world when I can have the real one? Eh, it's just me. Updates here will be fewer and far between, I think, so my email is on here, and I'm sure you have my AIM. If you need me, find me there (SEND ME MAIL, I LOVE MAIL), and take care, all.
