WORD!

Man, it sure is nasty outside today. Nothing like good ole Luziana weather....wet, humid, muggy and cloudy. What a delightful way to start the weekend! Ugh.

I love Friday's, I mean, who doesn't? This weekend should be a pretty easy one, the social calendar isn't (for once) overbooked. I guess my weekend started last night. Me, Megan and Jeff went and had a few adult beverages...and celebrated Megan's birthday all at the same time! Good times! Tonight, I will be making the journey to (DIS) Graces Lounge in the lovely town of Gonzales with Jeff and Heather to see Jeff's brothers band play! Needless to say, I already need a drink thinking about it! Tomorrow is the first Mardi Gras parade of the season...downtown Baton Rouge, the Krewe of Jupiter rolls at 6:30! YAY! I am doing the Mardi Gras Mambo as we speak! LOL

Let me backtrack for a minute. Yesterday afternoon, my lil sis called me and wanted to go to lunch. I promptly got my keys and headed to PoBoy Express (yum yum for my tum tum) on Cedarcrest to meet Lynsey and Landon. When I got there, they were pulling in at the same time. I was so excited to see the both of them! My sister got out of her grocery getter looking like Jane Fonda or something...I asked her if she had been working out, and we all know the answer to that. I am not sure if she had even picked up her hand weights that she requested for Christmas yet! Then, we opened the back door and there was my heart and soul grinning from ear to ear in his WHO D@ onsie that I got him from my friend Lauren's shop Fleurty Girl in New Orleans last month.....btw...check out her stuff... www.fleurtygirl.net . I got Landon out of his car seat and we went inside. Of course there is about 8 ceiling fans in the establishment so he was immediately no longer interested in me, but the fans! The child LOVES a ceiling fan, just like I STILL do at 30 years of age. Let me just say that since I was a lil boy, my aunts and grandma tell me all the time that I have always loved a ceiling fan. Weird, absolutely, so weird that when I was about 2, my aunt Connie got me an airbrushed t shirt that had a ceiling fan on the front and on the back it said "You're a weird one" Go figure. Anyway, we were placing our orders and the lady working behind the counter was telling us how cute he was and then she asked how old is he.....we both said "9 months" 9 MONTHS ALREADY. Its just so hard to believe that at this time last year, he was still being incubated in my sisters belly, and the only thing that we could do is feel him move, now I can feed him his puffs at the table, give him his bottle with water and ask him where the fan is and he will look up at the ceiling. Its so amazing to know that I am an uncle. I have a nephew. I finally know what it feels like to love another human being unconditionally. Landon has changed my life in so many ways, its just so hard to describe. SO, this morning when I logged on to Facebook, I realized that my sister had edited her "About Me " section, so immediately I had to see what she added or deleted....I have to be honest, it was so Lynsey to the tee. So I started my workday with a few tears! :) Anyway, back to the subject at hand.....we had a fantastic lunch and I can't wait to see them this weekend! We have a tenative date with Lindseyaya and her brood to go to the zoo on Sunday and I am so looking forward to that!!!!

Hope you have a fantastic weekend, because I plan to!

WHO D@!
