King Cake & Car Pickups

My mother sent me a King Cake! There are many things I miss about New Orleans! Beignets from Cafe Du Monde, Jacques-Imos my favorite restaurant ever!, Bloody Mary's from Pat O's true you can get them anywhere but Pat O's happens to be my favorite spot for them in the city, Boutique shopping in the French Quarter on lazy Sundays, The atmosphere of my old neighborhood Uptown in the Garden District across from the bulldog & balcony bar!! and last but not least Carnival Season!

So needless to say I was thrilled to come home from work to a King Cake!



I had an interesting day. Work was good! Our office was not picked to do the audit. They choose Phoenix, Jacksonville, Dallas, & Charlotte. The stress of that has been lifted!

Coming back from lunch today, I was stopped at the last red light before returning to work. The car on my left edges up and blows the horn at me. I thought the driver was trying to get my attention to ask me to let him over, because he was in a turning lane only, I was wrong. The boy just smiled and waved at me. He gave off a creepy vibe so I quickly looked away. Then I hear the horn blown again, so I think for a second maybe I was too quickly to judge creepy vibe and he does want to get over so I look in his direction again this time, the driver & the passenger are blowing kisses at me. I get freaked out! Did I mention it was two creepy boys were driving a Mini Van!

Aagh - scary! I got the darkest tint on my car windows that I possibly could for just that reason - ask them for the shade lighter than limo tint :)
