Did she? I almost emailed her today but I thought that would be annoying.

There’s a place to report it on the S&WB website. No map but the form is easy to use. I reported one today.

I was so out of it this morning that I forgot to make my iced coffee. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ No wonder I have been yawning. Well I am not going to drink any caffeine now.

My first thought was something crime related. It wasn’t until I went to nola dot com that it clicked.

I’m paying for all of that sleep I got Saturday and Sunday morning and that second coffee at 11 AM. I went from barely wakeful to too awake.

Once I got a full size conditioner (Redken or some other salon brand) from a company that should not have that, Gap. Customer service had no explanation. It was so strange.

I’m not sure about this one. I have tried Violette FR. The color doesn’t last. It’s not really a stain, at least not on me. I just ordered Kulfi from TikTok shop. Eadem is a balm not a stain but it’s my favorite lip product right now based on the way it feels.

I received an item in my Sephora order that I did not order, this Laneige lip oil stain / hydrating tint. I would never order this color but at least I can try it before I waste my money on it.

I wear clogs all the time so I don’t think that would bother me.

If we did DST all year round, the north would have extremely late sunrises in the winter. I like that it stays later but sleep experts say we’d be better off on Standard Time. I am getting to the point where I could be convinced.

I usually wear flip flops or my Rothy’s clogs but I am lazy when it comes to putting on shoes and I would wear these a lot on the weekends. I am going to wait a bit, probably for a better sale.

If you live in New Orleans and want to shop in person/shop local. They have these at Orleans Shoe Co.

Another trend that I am not sure of is the sneaker mule. I am lazy though, so this slip on style is appealing.

I like that pair that is white with silver. I would wear those.

I just can’t wear Sambas. It must be the shape of my heels. I don’t like Gazelles either.

Those are cute too. I have a pair of pink sneakers from Coolway that I wear all the time so I can’t rationalize another pink pair.

If you are into Sambas, there are Samba mary janes. That piece on the heel is not comfortable to me but some people love them.

These are not sold out. I like these but I don’t think I need light blue sneaker-like shoes. I could change my mind though.

This Puma style also comes in cow print, which I like but I just bought a pair of cow print sneakers. There’s also leopard print and I have seen a cool snake print too (seems more fall/winter to me but I like it).

I also like this chocolate brown pair from Puma. This looks like something I would wear.

You know how things are a trend elsewhere before you’re aware of it, and by the time it’s in your consideration set, all of the colors you like are sold out? That’s how I feel about sneaker mary janes / sneaker ballet shoes / sneakerinas. I have yet to see a pair in the wild. I like these though.

I never knew that. My dad is a huge baseball fan so I have known that song nearly my whole life.

Someone I know flew in today. They posted a photo. They said the TSA line was backed up to the parking garage.

That’s awesome.

I was late today but I made it to Pilates. They were having some ALO community event today. You had to sign up but they had free classes with gifts. One of the gifts was a beautiful fully frosted (on all sides) slice of cake. I didn’t sign up because I don’t wear ALO but I sure wanted that cake.

Can someone explain the roadwork happening at Claiborne & Audubon Blvd? We went from a perfectly good turn lane to two separate u-turn lanes. Was this to benefit the Tulane stadium, or to keep people from turning down Audubon Blvd, or both? So much to be done and this was a priority?

This DST transition is going to be rough for me. I don’t know if I am sick or tired or burnt out but yesterday I started to go to Pilates, skipped and got coffee, then came home and slept for two hours. Today, I tired to get up at 8 so I’d be up at a reasonable hour but I couldn’t get up until 9.
