Waiting

I'm waiting on Lee to get home so I can travel down to New Orleans.  I'm excited to be spending time with my friends today.  I haven't celebrated Mardi Gras in 2 years! 

but I have to admit I'm pretty nervous.  I scared that I'll be stuck in traffic and then when I finally make it into the city I won't be able to find my way or my friends and I'll end up all alone freaking out and wandering the city.  [that is not an exaggeration... all of that is DEFINITELY possible]

what do you think? Should I just not bother?  The later it gets the more likely the above scenario will occur. And with Lee out training this morning, only the Lord knows when he'll come home, and I can skip out!
