feeling excited to spend some time with Sean this weekend. He's been working so much with the launch of a new Amazon building and the hours are killer. I seriously feel so bad for him when he gets home. We leave for work at the same time in the morning and he arrives 5 hours after me. This is with him driving less than 10 miles to work. It also doesn't help that the holidays are going to have him working even crazier until Christmas so for the few hours I'll get him this weekend, I'm pretty excited for it.

loving that it's my partner in crime's birthday today. Cinthia, happy birthday!

craving jollof rice. My mom made the most bomb jollof rice and I just have not been able to make it as good as her. I'll keep trying if it's the last thing I do.

needing to lay off of Facebook. That is one social media avenue that if they got rid of it I won't share one tear. Facebook is garbage.

thankful for Sean, my family and friends. Also thankful for my blog readers. Some of you have been here since 2010. 2010! That's amazing to me. I'm thankful for you.

reading nothing right now but I'm going to order "I'm Judging You: The Do-Better Manual". I've heard some great things about it so I can't wait to get started.

wanting it to be 2:30pm already. I leave work early today!

loving that I'm visiting Colleen in less than one month! I seriously can't wait to hug the crap out of her.

missing my mom every single day.

wearing a sweater, black pants and black booties.

thinking about ... hmmm, not sure y'all want to know.

feeling all sorts of emotions the last few weeks. Some familiar, some not so much. All I know is that 2016 started crazy and it's ending even crazier. Maybe 2017 will be where it's at since 7 is my favorite number. At least, I'm still a glass half full type of person.

I hope that you all have wonderful weekends! ♥

New Orleans: Evening jazz cruise

Image
On our third evening in NOLA, we went on Steamboat Natchez for their evening jazz cruise. It is a two hour cruise ride along the Mississippi River and it was just so beautiful. We had dinner on the boat and although the food was nothing to write home about the overall experience was such a great one. The music, the views, the people... it was truly just a lovely experience. We experienced the loveliest sunset and just being able to see it and be in that moment was just one of the reasons why it really is so grand to be alive. Too many pictures were taken, even Sean wanted to take pictures and well, I don�t think you can blame us too much. Many of my pictures turned out like the one below because of the humidity. My lens would fog up immediately. It truly was such a great evening and one that I will not soon forget.

Good food & good music

Image
I don�t think there are many more things that are better than good food & good music. I truly believe that food & music can often play a role in putting someone in a great mood or a foul mood. For instance, I know that when I hear a song that I use to listen to when I was a kid, it just brings me back to that exact moment and often times I can�t help but get the silliest grin on my face. Anyway, this brunch date with Cinthia on an extremely cold, spring day (not bitter) did just that. It transported me back to New Orleans where I was stuffing my piehole with delicious foods while listening to live jazz music. And what a great time we had! Live jazz, bottomless mimosas, the cheesiest mac and cheese, lightly toasted cornbread, fried green tomatoes, NOLA shrimp and warm beignets. We felt like we ordered it all but truthfully, we hardly touched the surface of the menu. This wasn�t our first time at The Bayou but it was just as enjoyable as the first time. I feel like we w...

Spring made an appearance!

Image
Guys, we finally got spring like weather (80s!!!) and we made sure to take advantage of it. Good thing too because we are back in the 40s & 50s this week. Not nice spring, not nice. We first enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the deck and then went to the gym for a workout. We had big plans to work on our front and back yards after the gym as Mr. Sean did not rake up the leaves last fall. Since it was going to be such a nice day, I decided that I'd help him, ha. I know how that sounds but I love informing everyone that I�m responsible for the inside cleaning & he�s responsible for the outside cleaning, also known as, raking, mowing, shoveling, etc. Anyway, regardless of how much work it was, it was actually very enjoyable & I believe our workouts earlier in the day helped to give us the energy we needed to work several hours in the front and back yards. But let's be honest, with the weather being so nice it made me want to be outside all day. The dogs were lovin...
