"C'mon let's go back outside and eat some more hamburgers" - Cherie Dugas

About Me

I thought it was about time I updated this. Just a few little things I love: I love when the time changes and your days seem a lot longer. I love everything about spring and summer: crawfish boils, watching my niece's softball games, 4th of July, Jazz Fest, and most importantly, snoballs. I love the feeling you have when you're leaving work and you have the next two days off. I love when I go visit my grandmother she fixes me a plate of food to take home that lasts three days. I love old memories of watching the Price is Right, Y & R, and, randomly, Soul Train with my grandfather. I love going with my friends to wedding receptions (the original wedding crashers). I love traveling to a new city and falling in love with it like it's a person. I love living in Lafayette - downtown, Festival International, Frankie burgers, and the people. I love when Sarah does an impression of a random reality person that only she and I know. I love the feeling after a really good first date. I love reading a book that's so good you'll read it all night even if you have work early in the morning. I love comfortable silences. A few more recent ones: I love state workers' holiday hours, the good stories I hear working with baby mamas and baby daddies, and spending time with my very lovely boyfriend, Jacques.

My Interests

Traveling, reading, political issues and current events, watching a ridiculous amount of reality shows with my best friend (Project Runway is the best), and taking a long road trip to go see my favorite bands.
