MANDATORY EVACUATION!!!

That's been what's up this week. Damnit Katrina! Hilda and I were supposed to have a fun filled, relaxing time in New Orleans last weekend. But what happened? We flew in on Friday, then hauled ass out of there on Saturday.

On the upside, we did get out of the city. It may have taken 14 hours to get home, but we got out of New Orleans before disaster struck. What sucks is the levies probably won't hold and the Army Corps of Engineers thinks the city will be under water pretty soon...says Ambs.

That being said, my friends in N.O. probably won't have a school to go back to and all their possessions they left are no more.

Some of them had a vigil for their lost clothes, trinkets, etc. Apparently it helped them get over the fact they'll never see their mahogany night stands or French jewelry(recently acquired) again.

For now, we all need to move forward and pray for the best.
