I’m devastated. Suddenly lost my best friend on Monday. Edith was my everything. She was my security blanket during my lowest moments. She was my cheerleader at my highest. Hug your furry family members tightly.

On a scale of “Do Whatcha Wanna” to “I will treat you exactly how I treat sinners who eat king cake outside of carnival season,” where does grabbing beignets at Cafe Beignet fall?
