I’ve been trying to attend to business, keep clear of mind and work on myself, my career, and reflect quite a bit lately.  I must admit being home has been thrilling, invigorating and refreshing.  Last weekend, I went to the Krewe of Boo Parade to see my sisters ride in it.  I walked alone on the Moonwalk and reflected on life.  We must always strive to be happy and right now my happiness has come from personal reflection. 

Work keeps me busy, and I need to do so much in preparation for next semester.  I joined the Young Leadership Council and I’m going to start doing some volunteer work.  I’m still in this period of readjustment being home.  I am not quite comfortable yet here.  I want a place to call home here because being at the parents house is draining me. I am very glad gas prices have gone down though- now I can save some money possibly to someday by a house?  I am hopeful.   

Today was the National Wolves on the Prowl event.  It was fantastic.  The students had the opportunity to volunteer at five different events around campus and the city.  I would love to bridge this with the Young Leadership Council and do something like this regularly for our students as an integral part of our program.  

Dinner at the Palace Cafe last night was nice, but I was completely unimpressed.  I tried to go safe with the rotisserie chicken, the dirty rice tasted a lot like MamPapaul’s and the satsuma vinegarette.  I think there was a piece of liver though and that’s where I really went wrong.  It made me feel ill. It also could have been the tuna tartare appetizer… I just don’t trust Palace Cafe with seafood from the last time, but even the chicken did me wrong. 

Today, Daniel and I are going to see the Vienna Boys Choir.  Mom and Dad and Mrs. Mary Ann and Mr. Harry are going too… lucky them, they are going to Commander’s Palace. I am officially jealous, because I’ll take Commander’s over any other place in this city anyday, even Muriel’s.  Though, Muriel’s I just love for the ambience.  The intriguing seance room and parlor upstairs is fantastic.  I could sit in there for hours.
