Getting Some Autumn Fever...
I love this time of year. Especially decorating during this time of year...because of the beautiful colors. Here are my creations for autumn.

Just a little bit of goofy for a Friday...
As most of you know the big 30 is approaching. I have to say...I'm excited about it. I can't wait to see what this next decade has to offer. My twenties were good to me and the one thing I can say is I partied hard and I survived! I really have some great memories and accomplishments from the last 10 years. I also know that I learned a lot about myself and who I really am.
As I reflect on this I can't help but think...how in the hell can I function in society? It's an absolute miracle since I was weened off a bottle by a cow named Brazo and potty trained by a dog named Fifi! :-)
My mother used very unique techniques for teaching these important life lessons. I guess she knew I was driven even at a very young age, and would never let an animal out do me. So she convinced me that only babies needed bottles and the cow in the pasture next door was still a baby and he needed my bottles. Then my grandparents told me that they had potty trained their dog Fifi. Hey I figured if a dog could go to the bathroom, so could I. Yes I know these two stories really explain a lot, but I thought it was a good laugh for a Friday.
The only down side to turning 30 so far has been the image that looks back in the mirror. I really had not noticed, but I guess after my stint of working 17-22 hours a day the true colors came through. I remember waking up one morning walking down the hall of my office to the restroom to get ready for work and looking in the mirror and not recognizing the person looking back. I don't know who that woman was in the mirror, but she was old!

And Gustav Leaves a Big Wake...
As we attempt to return to normal, it seems that Gustav continues to cause damage. Two of my really good friends at our sister co-op in Baton Rouge have lost their jobs this week. The reasons for these 2 guys losing their jobs have been because of issues during the storm, but that's not true it was politics.
I know most of you don't care about this but I have used this blog as a journal and I'm hoping it will help just to get my thoughts out. I'm having a very hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that these people will no longer be around.
One of these guys has truly been my best friend, mentor, partner in crime and drinking buddy. I will miss him greatly. I wish them all the best and hope for a new and better beginning for them. For those who are still at the co-op, you are in my thoughts and prayers also because I know times are going to be tough for a little while. Just hang in there.
