Best Etouffee in Real Life!

Jeanerette, LA, located about an hour south of Lafayette. It is the home of the restaurant called “Yellow Bowl”. The restaurant is a local favorite and has been in business since 1927. When I first saw the building it looked like somewhere that you could go get some good home-cooked meals. How right I was! The staff was very friendly…

0 to Star Trek

One of the scariest things these days has been to update your phone. No one is quite sure what the outcome of an update may be. On the one hand you may have your phone debugged and no longer have those minor issues to deal with. On the other hand, your phone might shut down or rearrange itself or start…

Doggy Woes

So life on the road is hard. I can’t imagine having a child or a boyfriend or husband. Hey, that’s what you got to do to make that money, then that’s what you have to do. Unfortunately, life on the road in hotels is not pet friendly. So when I’m gone finding a dog sitter is seriously super difficult. The…

Taming a Mixed Girl’s Half-fro

For all my life I have had a lot of issues taming my hair. I’m half black and half Korean so the texture of my hair is thick, frizzy, curly, bushy, and nappy. So the effort to gain control especially in areas that are more humid is an extreme battle. My hair isn’t coarse enough to stay put or fine…

Perfect Girl, Wrong Time

One of the stories of my life in song is Big Sean’s “Don’t tell me you love me”. The line that hits that gut reaction with me is “What’s the perfect girl if it’s not the perfect time”. Let that marinate for a second. You would assume if you met the “perfect” girl for you that then your days of…

Books V Movies

Do you prefer books or movies? The debate is out there and no conclusion can be found. Let’s explore both sides of the argument and explore the two options while I will attempt to stay unbiased. Now the plus side to reading a story in a book is that you are given the back stories and information about the character…

Austin City Limits!

Now if you aren’t from Texas or don’t know anything about Austin I will let you know that Austin is the live music capital. I repeat AUSTIN IS THE LIVE MUSIC CAPITAL. So if all you knew before today was about our infamous 6th street which is lined with bars and shuts down vehicle traffic for our drunken pedestrians, you…

The World Revolves Around Me?

One of the pivotal moments of my life is when I first realized that the world did not revolve around me. As I toddler I had had a fantastical theory that life was a movie and I was the star. Like the movie The Truman Show, the whole world around me was completely centered on me and when the people/things…

Hanging loose at 14000 feet!

Altitude: about 14,000 feet Place: a small airplane above North Shore Oahu, Hawaii Time: Nov 2013 It was time, the only way down was out the door of the airplane. As soon as I began planning my trip to visit my friend in Hawaii I knew there were some things off my bucket list that I wanted to cross off.…
