I Met Beyonce'....

Chances are if you read this blog, you know who Beyonce' is...and I don't mean a voluptuous R&B singer...

Well, on a recent trip to Ponchatoula, LA with my sister on a shopping trip, I ran across a cousin of Beyonce's. She was awesome. I wanted her. But alas, she could not come home with me. So, we took a snapshot to memorialize the beautiful moment.

 Yes that's really me....

It was an awesome day....saw some great things like this awesome green door on the side of the building that houses Nest Interiors.

And this great sign in downtown Hammond, La.

I also scored big that day...this vintage farm set that I remember playing with as a child. I also found this rocking chair that I have been hunting for for years. We had one when I was a kid, and I loved it! Best part?? Found it for 30 bucks!!

Have to love an afternoon of antiques hunting and quality sister time!

5 Years Ago Today...

I was 9 mos pregnant and evacuated for Hurricane Katrina....there is no need for me to go over the nitty gritty details..most of you know them. You know what has happened. We came out of the storm quite spared and were blessed for the most part. So today, as you go about your business....think about those who had to rebuild EVERYTHING, not just from Katrina but from any disaster and be thankful for what you have and those who love you.

Here is where I was 5 years ago! (after we made it back safe and sound and I was about to POP!)

What, you look perkier when you were 9 mos pregnant in southern heat?

Katrina tried to kick our ass but we kicked it back. Who Dat, my friends...Who DAT!
