Gustav, Going, Gone!

So Hurricane Gustav, the long lost bastard brother of Katrina descended upon Louisiana in full force and left us scratching our heads (in the dark) about why the heck we still choose to live here.

Well, so many answers come to mind with that question. And it all boils down to, there is no where in this world that someone can go from a packed 92,000-fan LSU football game to a contraflow evacuation within hours -- and that's a pretty cool thing. Plus, the food is pretty amazing too.

Louisiana has been hit again, but we'll bounce right back up, just as we always do. It has been an interesting past week, working out of make-shift offices, driving between here and home, surviving on a generator. But, it does make you grateful for things we do have and the joy that can fill our lives if we let everything around us be still for just a moment, and we actually listen the people we love.

Stephanie's Top 5 Things to Do this Week:

5. Push Hurricane Ike away from Louisiana
4. See Hamlet 2
3. Run the air conditioner on 50 degrees to forget how hot it has been with no electricity
2. Buy Jason the best birthday present ever
1. Celebrate Jason's big 24!
