Probably a long shot, but does anyone have a copy of the old Times-Picayune Style Guide that was (/is) used in the newsroom?

Great column. "For many Americans, the time spanning Memorial Day and the beginning of June is marked by the happy anticipation of summer fun. But for those who call some part of the country’s hurricane region home, it can be the beginning of six full months of dread."
It's like what it felt like the year between my mom telling me her cancer was incurable and the family being summoned to the hospital that last time: Will this be the day that brings the news that what we fear most is on the radar? msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opin…

Remember when I got a new couch and finished redecorating my living room Saturday? So cozy! Anyway, my landlord just told me he’s selling the house so now I have to move. Know of anything in Metairie/River Ridge/Harahan/NOLA? Hit me up. I’m going to cry into some carbs now.

The universe has the cruelest ways of reminding us that life can be short and fleeting. Cherish every damn second you have with those you love because it can all be gone in an instant. I am beyond heartbroken.

Have you ever spilled your coffee in your lap and had it run down and soak into your pants and underwear? Or is that just me this morning 🫠

This was such a special day and I’m so grateful for these wonderful ladies who I’m honored to call friends ❤️
On this date in 2017, @restrass and @NewsCarolyn and I held our Cakeup for the Cause, where we collected thousands of personal hygiene items for underserved women in metro New Orleans. I was so proud of the work we did for that and later for Hurricane Maria.

I need a new couch and fell in love with a Joybird sectional I can’t afford. Where are we buying furniture lately? I want a deep sectional like this beauty.

I started suffering with lower back pain that has progressively gotten worse. Sitting is miserable. Standing is miserable. Finally going to see a doctor today. I don't know how my mom deals with chronic pain every single day because this is no fun.

I look like I’m crying at The Bachelor but really I made guac with a fresh jalapeño and then touched my nose and now I’m dying. RIP nasal cavity.

They don’t have to be useful. All I ask is that they NOT LAND ON MY FACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHILE I’M SLEEPING. axios.com/local/new-orleans/…

Ever fall asleep scrolling on your phone and wake up to something you don’t remember looking at? Found this saved in my photos this morning.

As a social media manager for several years now, every time a crow caw-caws, I think of the stupidest message I’ve ever received and it makes me chuckle so hard.
