4th Fun

We have one of the intern's parents staying with us all week. We decided to host, with them, a party for the staff of Lagniappe. It was harder than i thought it was going to be. i was in the kitchen for approx 8 hours. when you host a party you don't really get to enjoy it as much but i did have fun. kate was asleep through the whole thing. we grilled, cooked, ate, drank, looked at a photo slideshow. we have a photographer visiting from scotland who takes wonderful pictures and he came to the party as well, as he also needed to do laundry before he headed to new york today. he's really nice. his name is roddy. he took some awesome photographs, ones i hope we can post soon. kate is currently going through my tupperware cabinet as i type, pulling up on the kitchen cabinets. i am so worn out from the party i just want to sit around all day. we had about 32 people over.
i still haven't taken kate to dr. needle. i guess i will reschedule the appointment. i wasn't sure if i wanted to take her to him or not so i missed the appointment on monday. i did some surveys around town, and everyone said they go to dr. needle.
i've been getting jealous of kate recently. everyone always gives her all the attention, and i usually don't even get a conversation sometimes. andy said he feels the same way. it's fun being around the interns, but they are in a different life stage than me so i still feel out of sorts. i am praying to find some friends my age with young babies that are fun and nice and Christian.
the puppies have their eyes open. they are wiggling around the garage and rosie decided she needed an escape so she broke through the screen window in the garage. now she has an exit whenever she needs it. i suppose if i had 8 babies i'd want to get away sometimes, too.
i'm still lovin barq's. i love it in the bottle. it's so good. i would love to go out to eat soon to one of the many wonderful restaurants we have here.
saturday night last week we went to hear a great band, Easy Street from Kiln, MS. they were playing at our favorite outdoor place, Daniel's. we had fun, and i was even on the news. the crew was filming a story about the noise from the place, since it's outdoors. but there was just a shot of me sitting and enjoying the music. it was funny. i tivoed it. but they played all kinds of oldies and even played our song, tupelo honey. now that's a sign of a good band.
i found an AWESOME store downtown bay st louis, called social chair. it is the cutest store ever. they have home decorating things. it's pretty cheap too. i got a sign for my bathroom that says La Dolce Vita (the sweet life in italian) and it looks really cute.
oh i forgot to mention that the police showed up at our party last night. it seems as if the cars were blocking the road, and a fire truck was trying to get through earlier in the night and had some trouble. this is not surprising, because the hurricane washed away the quality of the streets, so most of the streets are narrower and bumpy. anyway he just said, move your cars, and all was fine. it was sort of exciting though to see the cops pull up. he wasn't mad or anything.
