We've considered relocating, but it's kind of hard because home is home. I have a 93-year-old aunt with me and New Orleans is definitely home to her. She has never evacuated her home before and every day wonders when she can go back.

That's home. You have to live in New Orleans to understand. It's a city of our own, unique and different, not anything like anywhere else.

Being here with Mindy is a lot easier because we're not staying in a shelter. Its depressing enough without the shelter.

There was an Aunt, she had a 13 year old nephew that had cerebral palsy that was stuck in a house that had been flooded. They were upstairs in the attic actually and she had another nephew that was three years old.

I know one day I'll be considered too old. I think 40-year-old women actually look more healthy and fit than some girls in their 20s. I've met women who have way better bodies in their 40s because they've been working on them for all these years.

I have an independent streak. You know, it's kind of hard to tell a independent woman what to do.
