What a lovely place. How sad that it is no longer. It may have been a dirty old town as dirty old towns go but the music!, the 24 hour bars!, the gambling!. What a delightful place to sin! David and I had wanted to go back one day but it won't be the same now. All the historical old buildings and the old cemetery...will they still exist? The house of the rising sun and the old houses in the garden disrict, will they be there?
How I remember wandering the streets of New Orleans half crocked looking for the next happy hour. doing shots with David at one of the many ,many bars. The old run down looking building that was actually a very quaint dark piano bar. We sat around the piano requesting songs. Taking a shortcut through Harrah's to see if we could make some quick cash to drink with, or even milking our time at a nickle slot so that we could get free drinks at the casino. Oh, how the alcohol flowed!!!
I remember wanting to get my fortune read by one of the many psychics in the square if front of the chapel. How I should have...I wonder what has happened to those poor people now? I even wonder about the girl at the Dunkin Donuts that we saw every day (since we woke up at noon ready for breakfast) I remember sitting at some corner bar while David drank some frozen concoction that was advertised as the most alcoholic drink. I don't remember what it had in it but was very, very strong. How I wish i could remember place names and locations. But my memory does not serve me well. I did stand on the top floor of a mall parking garage so that David could get a photo of the Superdome. I did go on the tour of the old cemetery, quite hungover,I might add. How David left a token at "the voodoo queen" Marie Leveau's grave site.
What fun we had! Maybe New Orleans will come back better that ever, how I long to hear the sounds of jazz in the streets again.

It's a boring Sunday.
My marriage seems a little warmer lately. But no sex...I know that he would be thrilled if I initiated it but he seems to stay up so late and he seems to always be drinking. I don't find that attractive. This morning he was so grumpy and irritable and I woke up happy...well he shot THAT down real quickly. He's always been foul in the AM so that's nothing new, I usually just ignore it. He really is a good person. These are all the things that I love about him.
1. He has alot of honesty and integrity.
2. helpful, as long as I ask ,of course
3. He loves me very, very much and takes good care of us. I think that he would do just about anything to make sure that we are safe and provided for.
4. He absolutely adores Seth, he is such a proud dad.
5. he is a hard worker. He has a good job and he never calls out sick so that he can bring home a good paycheck. Even when he's sick and aching from the work and hates his boss...he sticks with it for us.
6. he has a wonderful sense of humor and always knows how to make me smile when i need it.
7. He is very thoughtful and polite
8. He's not selfish ( unfortunately I think I am)
9. He is an excellent cook and makes dinner for us frequently so I don't have to.
10. He doesn't expect much out of me, he's not demanding at all.
11. It might take a little prodding at times, but when I ask him to do a job(ie.yardwork, clean garage,etc.) he does a thorough and excellent job.
12. He's an attractive fellow, I think. Lovely hazel eyes and beautiful dark, shiny hair.
13. He's sensitive and emotional; not too much to where he's crying all the time but enough so that it's obvious that he has a great capacity for love and appreciation for the wonderful things.
12. He's very friendy and personable. He has an easy time making friends where I ,in fact, do not.
13. He's very intelligent. He has knowledge of things that I would never expect, like art history,for instance. He's enjoys reading(maybe too much?)
There are plenty more but I think that's enough for now.
Now that I read the list i think that the problem is me. What do I do now?
