Funny Lady.

     Okay, so I'm already doing bad at this. Not even a week in and I've failed at the whole posting everyday thing. I can explain! Yesterday afternoon, I met up with one of my dearest friends from junior high and high school, Allison. We had a ton of catching up to do, so the drive to New Orleans wasn't bad at all. Parking was supposed to be $10, but we got in with just a smile and wave! We had plenty of time to kill, so we headed to the French Quarter to find something to eat. After strolling around for a while, we ended up at Ember's Steak House. We dined upstairs and got to stare at everyone on Bourbon while we ate. You know I love a good creeping opportunity, especially on that street!

View from Ember's!

     After our meal, we headed back to the Mahalia Jackson Theatre and waited for the doors to open.  There were a lot of...interesting characters there. Yeah, that's what we'll go with.

This picture was supposed to include Allison, but... 

Gotta have some merch!

     Anyway, once the show started, I don't think we stopped laughing. Yes, Kathy Griffin is crude and rude and shares about 3% of my beliefs, but she is so freaking funny. My favorite thing about her is that she is never sorry for any joke she makes. If you've got a problem, she'll hear you out and respond with, "I understand why you feel that way." That's it! She never fails to make me laugh, whether she is talking about the Kardashians or king cake. I was literally crying for at least half of the show. My money was well spent! I'm considering it the beginning of my birthday celebration. I can't wait to head back to New Orleans on Monday for this biggest football game of my young life.

     I can't say today was as exciting, but I did apply for my new passport! I love going to the Crowley courthouse because they have someone who stays in the elevator and works it for you. Sounds creepy in today's world, but that's how things used to be! It was terribly hard to give up my old passport and all of its memories, but I was ensured that it will be returned to me. We can only hope! Also, passports are outrageously priced, but then so is everything else I find myself buying.

     Now, I'm going to watch the Cotton Bowl with my family before going to have some ice cream with a...friend. I guess that's what the title would be these days. Intriguing, right? Later!
