Random thoughts before the weekend

I'm feeling SO sad about the oil spill in the gulf. I feel like my home state has suffered enough with Katrina and Rita and just, well, being Louisiana. Heh.

That's why that state's motto is "Laissez les bon temps rouler!" And that's why they have to party so hard in New Orleans. Maybe they understand the temporary state of life.

I know that oil is a natural resource. I know that it will eventually seep back into the earth, right? Isn't that right?

I'm no expert but the photos of the sea life and the thought of the fishing/shrimping industries being harmed... just makes me sad.

Say a little prayer for those harmed by the spill, ok?

Thank you.

Speaking of temporary states of life, this morning I caught up with a former co-worker I haven't talked to in ages.

We worked together when I was pregnant with Rose and for a few years after. He didn't know about the death of my father. He hadn't heard about the breakup with Soldier. I didn't know about subsequent deaths in his family.

We both agreed that life is definitely too short and we should have fun while we're here.

That was a great way to start my Friday.

Its Friday. Thank goodness!

A year ago today, Gentleman Jack was enamored by a photo of me on Facebook and left a flirtatious comment.

I dished it right back at him after a quick check of his page.

I blogged about it here.

A year later and my love is asking me when I'm planning on moving to Louisiana. Hmmm...I don't know. My girls... changing their lives...finding a job... talking to my ex about this...

But I do know that I love him.

We'll see.

For the first time in 5 weeks, I'm heading to Gentleman Jack's house this afternoon!! My weekend plans are to do absolutely nothing.

Seriously.

I've been feeling ugh because of allergies and sinus stuff. I'm definitely not 100% but he'll have his boys and they all like to wait on me hand and foot.

I like that.

I get to be treated like a queen by three males who believe I hung the moon and stars.

My servant has some catching up to do.

Hells to the yeah.

Ya'll have a great weekend, ok?
