New Orleans and Other Things

Well, Dylan and I were supposed to go to New Orleans this weekend to build houses for Habitat for Humanity with his company and 2 days ago, the trip was cancelled because of Hurricane Ike. I'm pretty bummed, we had dinner reservations tonight at NOLA and I was looking forward to eating a lot of oysters. So, it's absolutely pouring rain here today, not a very nice day to do much of anything. Last night we were at a friends house drinking Absinthe. I was a little nervous about liking it, but as it turned out, I really enjoyed the whole concept. It has a sexy appeal, reminds me of eating sushi. I've decided to have a holiday party this year..a pot luck cookie exchange on a Sunday afternoon.
