is it bad that i really like watching "in the heat of the night?"

[blinkie17]

so i FINALLY got to talk to my mom. she called me last night at quarter after midnight (my time.) i was kind of thrown aback to hear that ring (my parents have a diff ring on my phone) that late at night. she said they were ok, getting help and all. they finally got power back day before yesterday which is good. i imagine they were roasting down there. my mom said kelly and joe (out neighbors) came and helped them throw out all of the furniture because it was destroyed. somehow my dads 40" tv made it and still works. my mom asked me if she could give away the clothes that i left at home. i told her it was fine since i can't even remember what i left. my godparents house in new orleans is ok (its on the west bank) but they cant get into the city so they have been staying with their daughter. i got upset after talking to her since i could hear in her voice how tired and worried she was. i wish there was more i could do.

i guess this means my wedding is going to be post-poned. we were shooting for late may not to mention we were planning on having the reception at the grand bayview which probably wont be open then. and its not exactly like i can ask my parents to pay for everything when they need to rebuild their house. i'm not sure how their insurance works or exactly whats covered and whats going to get paid for but i'd feel too selfish to ask them to do that.

i should start looking for a job.
