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!
