Ok, been here a month and a half. Still not used to the humidity. How am I supposed to be presentable when I'm always so sweaty? I painted my room recently and am thankful I haven't made an apperance on site to help build becuase the mere site of me in all that paint splatter and sweat would've been embarassing!
I'm finally getting a manager at work. Oh Thank the Lord! I will be able to do what I'm here for, volunteer recruitment. Not working the register.
One thing I'm not used to yet is the driving down here. Brake lights do not mean turn signals people. And I'm not one for bumper stickers but I really want one that says, "if you're going to ride my ass can you at least pull my hair while you're at it!" Vulgar I know. I know this all sounds like complaining but I just can't write with a sense of humor I guess :) I do love it down here, it's a lot different pace then at home. Very friendly people, everyone waves even if they don't know you.
I hope everything is going well in the snowy winterland that is Colorado. I'll be home in two months. Can't wait to see the people I love.

Life in Louisiana so far
Hey y'all,
Life in Louisiana has been great so far! I've been here a month now, time flies...and so do other large insects. I've seen horseflies the size of birds and hit a few while driving that sounded like I was running over small mammalls. I can't believe the amount of road kill down here, I don't even know what an armadillo looks like alive, they only exist on the side of the road for all I know :)
My house is great, I live in the Angel's Place subdivision in Bayou Blue. Bon Jovi gave money to Oprah, who in turn gave money to her Angel's network and they built 28 houses down here. We have a total of 71 on our street and my roomies are building a few as we speak. I work in our ReStore and have been lucky enough to find some treasures there...a Lladro porcelain angel that's worth $125 at least and I bought it for $1!
The only good thing about humidity is my face not being as wrinkly as it would be in Colorado, and my nails actually grow here. Otherwise, it's way too hot and I want to take a cold shower every 3 hours.
I miss Colorado, am jealous it's snowing there but am lucky to have this opportunity. I hope everyone is doing well and will be glad to have people come visit anytime they'd like!
