Sweaty Betty

Good afternoon, friends! Mr. Betty and I just returned from a quick trip to New Orleans. It was HOT, y'all. Although it's not very ladylike, there is something special about sweating. I feel like I've been cleansed of all my toxins... Though I may have added a few toxins while sitting in smoky bars. A good friend of mine has a motto - "You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning." New Orleans is the place to live that motto! We had Long Island Iced Teas well before noon! Crazy! But being the responsible adults we are, we did not live the motto to an excess. No embarrassing falls, unfortunate purchases or regrettable internet posts. Maturity - meh. We ate some very nice, super fancy meals. We won't be craving any fancy French cuisine for a while. Somehow we completely missed out on drinking hurricanes and eating red beans and rice, gumbo and barbecue shrimp. Not one beignet was consumed! I don't know what we were thinking! We must go back! I think we may need to make Nawlins in August an annual trip. We will surely need some another round of cleansing by next August, right?
