Yes folks, I eat when I’m happy, and I’ve been a-pigging it out plenty.
Wolfed down an awesome serving of Southern (well, Nawlins) Fried Chicken
AND a beignet a few hours ago.
The lack of updates is basically because I don’t live my life
on the Internet. Lah.
But some pictures and points today, that I can do.
It’s been amazing so far, this lil road trip.

With baby PJ in LA, before we headed out East.
Look at those eyes. She’s a mini Dakota Fanning, this beauty.

Angie was in my last post, here are my other two roadtrip buddies -
Marc & Anis. How cute are they? ;) These three have been
so wonderful. They have also been encouraging when it comes to
eating more,
talking to men (ahem)
and indulging my murderous moods.

We have been driving a lot. But taking in all the gorgeous scenery,
and singing all kinds of songs on the way.
This is a sunset on the way from Phoenix,
Arizona, to Fort Stockton, Texas.

In New Orleans. I’ve been so inspired by this city, truly. And to think
we were initially going to skip this one – I would have been devastated!

Live jazz and blues at the Apple Barrel bar, a little delight (and
dubbed as Frenchmen Street’s best-kept secret!) that
kept our grateful attention after a night of some misses. Musical heaven,
totally recommended.

This one deserves a posting or two all on its own.
A creation of the Make it Right project at the Lower 9th Ward in NO,
one of the worst affected areas. I’m all abuzz about what I’ve
been learning and thinking about Katrina, New Orleans, loyalty,
and love. Can’t wait to write about it.
Soon … soon enough :)
For now, it’s time to menghayati the travels to come.
Oh, random piece of info: I’m going to watch ‘Where the Wild
Things Are’ very soon! Yippeekayayyyy :)
Beyond excited because it seems like I’ve been waiting forever for
it to come out. I think I just may explode with joy
after watching it – and if you never hear from me again
it’s because I have died and gone blissfully to dreamyfilm heaven.
xo
PS- Thank you so much for your e-mails, sweetness & suggestions,
you know who you are, and I’m most grateful. Will reply soon &
do give me your addresses – I’ll send postcards ;)
