I was super beat at the end of the day so elected to dine in the restaurant in the hotel I'm staying at, a French-Caribbean type place called Compere Lapin. It was EXCELLENT if pricey. I'm still thinking about the crispy dirty rice arancini I had for appetizer. Yummmm. Followed by goat curry and a fun deconstructed coconut rum cake with ice cream.
Ahhh! I didn't know you were at the No. 77! Compere Lapin is one of the best new restaurants in the city. Why didn't I recommend it earlier? Huge blind spot. Eating there is definitely winning the New Orleans cuisine game, even if it is in a hotel!
So a local large church is having Allen West come speak and their preacher last Sunday said from the pulpit that they would be to blame for losing religious freedom, innocent deaths, and loss of biblical marriage if they did not act and vote. Does that cross the line for the IRS?
Just dropped my phone, but it didn't break. Two points for my case.
Today was a cluster and ended with a dentist appt (which wasn't bad, just bad timing.)
OTOH, my choice of new officemates proved useful, as I'd hoped it would.
Oh, please finish delivering our crap. I want a nap and a shower, maybe in that order.
Timelies all!
There was frost on my car this morning. I know it's late October, but DO NOT WANT!
Kalshane, because of gut issues, I gave up coffee (and eventually tea) for almost 10 years. My problem wasn't with the caffeine as much as the acidity of it. Kicking it was tough, but it was doable. The first few days were the worst.
My gut's more or less better so I can drink it again, but I still only have one cup a day. A second if I am the walking dead.

I didn't even look it up -- I was like, "eh, it's right there downstairs and I don't feel like going out," and I was happily surprised at how great the food was. The arancini! I would have that and a cocktail every week if I lived here.
All day meeting just ended half an hour ago and I have to go to yet another evening shindig that's basically a business meeting with dinner, like, why can't I blow this off and go drinking in French Quarter, I ask you. *sigh* Then I have to think about whether I hate myself enough to make it to one of the 7 AM sessions tomorrow.

I saw a few flakes when I was at the last farmer's market of the season yesterday. Bah!

Honestly, I think not if they didn't say who to vote for, but I could be wrong.
Dana: Moving is the woooooorst. Good job making it through so far!!
