What I look forward to on Friday nights....

When its not lent, I anxiously drive home from work, hoping that the newly released episode on abc.com isn't a damn re-run! Not only do I hope that its not a re-run, but that ABC's stupid online player will actually work properly!!! Since I don't have cable or a digital tv, I depend on that stupid thing to work to catch up on my shows. It drives me crazy when I get error messages in the middle of a good scene! ABC needs to either get their act together OR put their episodes on hulu. Hulu always works :)


When its lent, I look forward to enjoying crawfish on Friday nights. I'm not Catholic, or even remotely religious. I look at Fridays during lent as my excuse to get HOT & damn good crawfish since its in such high demand. Even Rouses sells crawfish now, which is by far, some of the best crawfish I've ever eaten from any seafood place in Metairie. Now, Chalmette seafood is a different story. But Rouses will do for now. They even sell these amazing stuffed mushrooms all season long :)


You don't have to remind me that I am lame. I know this and accept it. Its what a full-time job does to you. It makes you lame because by the time Friday night rolls around after a long week, your bed sounds much better than happy hour. I can't even remember the last time I actually went out to a bar on a Friday night. It's been months! But I'm ok with it. Maybe I'll go out tomorrow night since it's my birthday.

During my usual minifeed stalking, someone joined the mike jones memorial group. I noticed it a last week, but when I looked at it again, I noticed a website that his parents created. WOW! Mike was a talented person! I didn't really know Mike and the only things that I remember about him were negative, especially when he told John that he was too good for me! HA! You've got to be kidding me. Putting that aside, I truly feel bad for his loved ones. I can't say that I know what they're going through. Fortunately, I have never lost anyone who was incredibly close to me. Aaron's grandmother was probably the closest person that I've ever lost. She was pretty much my 4th grandmother while we were dating, but she treated me better than all of my grandparents combined!

On a side note... I'm craving crawfish bread like a pregnant woman craves pickles.

Jumping on the wagon...

After reading a friend from Loyola's blog in its entirety tonight... I decided to try this out. Heather is one of the best writers I know so I know my posts won't be as witty as hers but I will attempt.

~~~ Myself, Heather & Anna on a random night~~~

I created my account a few weeks ago, but haven't gotten around to posting anything. I used to post on livejournal religiously, but I can't even remember my username anymore! ha
So I suppose I should start by introducing myself. I'm a recent college graduate living in the metro nola area. I work for a local CPA firm as a staff auditor. I think i'm pretty damn good at my job too! Not to be conceited or anything, just confident in my abilities. I'll try not to bore people with accounting talk, but i'm sure i'll have to vent at some point. After all... thats what blogs are for.

I've been dating someone since June and its been one hell of a rollercoaster... but not in bad way. In one of those life experience kind of ways. I've always been that person who swore that I would never have children, because i'm too selfish for that. But cupid interfered and somehow I fell in love with someone, who has not one but two little girls & an exwife to boot!

I would be lying if I said that its been easy, but when emotions get involved, it gets complicated and hairy. And thats when the martinis need to come out, as my favorite college professor Lynch would say. He would prefer a sazarac on the rocks over a martini though. I've become more attached to the kids than I though my narrow-minded self would allow. To be quite honest, it has amazed me how much i've grown over the past 8 months. I'm proud of myself :)

I just uploaded some pictures on FB from high school so tonight was full of laughs from reading Heathers blog to looking at old pictures and I really needed it! The only thing that could have made the night better is a bottle of wine and Greys Anatomy. After graduation, I had a nice break from stress, but now that busy season is kicking back up and my inbox is flooded with mandatory overtime emails... theres no time for fun! Boo to public accounting.

In lighter news... my birthday is on Monday. I feel like birthdays are overrated. I always feel pressured to make plans and make fun plans. You end up spending more time worrying about how to please the people who actually want to physically hang out with you on your birthday than actually enjoying your birthday itself. I just want boiled crawfish and kingcake for my birthday... thats all I ask because those are two of my favorite things. Some pearls would be nice too... and a plane ticket to Seattle :) Ok.. I'm sure I could think of more things to ask for my birthday but I'll refrain.
