🚨 Croc Re-Sole Info: BIL has a guy who uses rubber boot soles to re-sole his Crocs. I was unable to learn if he cuts up the rubber boots or has rubber boot soles in supply. I'm also curious about the glue. I'm also fairly sure this guy is not a cobbler. #InLawUpdates

Just got into a very heated discussion about HOAs with NephewIL. He's 10. He lives in a cabin in the woods. Apparently it's his TikTok obsession. #InLawUpdates

BIL: [NIL] wants to come back every summer to go to that mall. Me: You could also go to the Riverwalk and get a new pair of Crocs. BIL: I'm done with Crocs! Me: You're wearing Crocs. BIL: That's all that fits with my bandage. #InLawUpdates

According to BIL we are not in a recession because of the amount of people at the mall today. #InLawUpdates

Told MIL my nephew is thinking about Texas A&M. MIL: Where is that? BIL: College Station Texas MIL: Is that close to Baylor? Hubs: Baylor is in Waco. Me: Why do we care about Baylor? Do we know anyone who goes/went there? MIL: No. #InLawUpdates

MIL takes pic of us at dinner table. Me: Do NOT put this on Facebook. MIL: I never put pictures on Facebook. NieceIL: Then how did that picture of me coming out of the bathroom wind up on your page? #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Yep. They went to Mid-City. Despite hubs telling BIL we were having beers at Miss Maes to kill time and telling MIL surrounding locales. Places both know well enough to know are not in Mid-City.

010

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

They're late for dinner. Either BIL is trying to find handicapped street parking or they went to the wrong location. Hubs is outside on the phone trying to figure out. #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

ILs returned from mall/pool and retreated to hotel so MIL could take Benadryl though symptoms seemed to have subsided. Dinner at 6. I promise to deliver on Croc details. #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

BIL and NieceIL went to mall. Hubs, MIL, NephewIL and Huey went to neighbor's pool. MIL: [NIL] Put your shoes on to walk outside. We don't need you cutting your foot like your dad. Me: [BIL] WAS wearing "shoes" when he cut his foot. #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Correction. They did not go to Cafe Dumonde because the line was too long so they went to Cafe Beignet. Then to Port of Call for lunch where there was no line (at 11 a.m.). They had no idea the burgers were so big. (They've both eaten there multiple times.) #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

MIL's allergies have flared up. Hubs: Do you want some allergy meds? MIL: I took Claritin. Hubs: Want a Benadryl? MIL: I've never taken one. I don't know how I'll react. Hubs: I've literally had to drive you to get Benadryl when you stayed with SIL and cats. #InLawUpdates

The calm before the storm has ended. They're here. #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Despite MIL being sick with sinus issues, they went to Cafe Dumonde, the praline shop and are going to lunch. Then BIL will drop MIL and NephewIL off here to take NieceIL school shopping at the mall. #InLawUpdates

060

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

They're off to Cafe Dumonde. Can't wait to hear how they navigated the "walk in and sit wherever unattended" situation. #InLawUpdates

Not sure how this weather is going to affect today's events as they have yet to text. Right now, other than a Corgi stressing over thunder, all is at peace. #InLawUpdates

Home. Tomorrow's itinerary: beignets, river cruise, school shopping, pizza. No schedule. No tickets purchased. No restaurants decided upon. My itinerary: learn how the Crocs get resoled and stealithly get a photo of them. #InLawUpdates

I think I may have just gotten volunteered to take NieceIL back to school shopping. #InLawUpdates

Food arrived. MIL passes around chips and queso. MIL and BIL start splitting entrees onto salad plates and passing around. Me: What is this? BIL: A nacho Me: I'm eating what I wanted and ordered. BIL: [NIL MIL] Do you want a nacho? MIL: Do you want some queso? #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

MIL and nieceIL are splitting a happy plate. BIL ordered nachos 86 the lettuce telling the waiter "Diarrhea no bueno". #InLawUpdates

MIL: We passed Igor's. We used to eat there when you were in college. Hubs: I NEVER took you there! MIL: You did! They have the good gyros. Hubs: They have burgers and homeless bums. MIL: I think it was on Carrollton by Tulane. Hubs: Lebanon's? MIL: Yes! #InLawUpdates

The verdict is to wait at Superior. MIL: I wonder if they have sour cream chicken enchiladas. Me. [Takes big swing of margarita] #InLawUpdates

040

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Wait at Superior is an hour and a half. This is bad. Worst case scenario bad. Either we have to wait or some will have to make an executive decision. They're not here yet. #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Not sure where they are but BIL just got NephewIL a Lucky Dog. Betting BIL illegally parked on Canal, left MIL in car, walked in Quarter to get it. Wearing the cut Crocs. At least hubs gave him the good 3M band aid. #InLawUpdates

010

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Hubs just shared that BIL asked for a Band-Aid for his foot. His current bandage was a wadded up paper towel held in place with masking tape. He's still wearing the resoled Croc that didn't protect from the glass that caused said cut. #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Was given options of 6 or 630 for dinner. Hubs: We had a late lunch so later makes sense but the earlier we go the earlier we're done with them. Me: The later we go, the less likely it is they come back here. Hubs: 630 it is. #InLawUpdates

Confirming "that dessert place" is Brocatos. I'm conflicted if I'm miffed or happy we weren't invited. #InLawUpdates

BIL: We want to do a river cruise. How much is it and when do they leave? Hubs: Let me consult Lord Google. [Gives BIL cheapest option] BIL: That's expensive. Me: You can ride the ferry across the river for two bucks. [BIL goes into thought] #InLawUpdates

MIL: We had to pick a different hotel. The kids didn't want to stay at the haunted one I found. Me: How did they know it was haunted? MIL: I told them. #InLawUpdates

NieceIL stands up to go to ladies' room. BIL stands: "I'll take her." MIL stands: "No I'll take her." NIL is already halfway there. I stand, "I gotta go anyway so I'll go. But she's 15 years old. I'm sure she can pee by herself at this point." #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

MIL got up from her seat to hug hubs, patted and rubbed his stomach like he was a pregnant woman and "Look at you skinny mini!" #UnLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

MIL and BIL are shocked that the line is so long. At a popular restaurant. At lunch. On a Saturday. BIL DESPISES waiting so much that he will spend more time trying to find a place with no line. I'm watching the irritation escalate from my seat at the bar. With AC. #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Hubs and I ordered poboys. Got bar seats. BIL walks in. "The line is really long. They're just standing out there." Me: "Not in line?" BIL: "No." Me and hubs: Sips beer. #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Apparently they will be 30-45 minutes behind the agreed upon lunch time because someone doesn't understand GPS ETA. #InLawUpdates

Meeting them at Parkway for lunch. Hubs graciously excused me from having to attend but I'm hungry and how else would I keep you fine people entertained? #InLawUpdates

The In-Law Cone of Uncertainty is narrowing as they're en route. I have yet to receive any instruction on what events or activities for which to prepare. House remains a construction zone with nowhere to sit. Pedicure at 11; no idea what I will return to find. #InLawUpdates

Contractor let us know yesterday that his crew is finally available and will be finishing the porch railing and internal drywall work today and over the weekend. House is a complete disaster. Nowhere to sit. I'm not complaining. #InLawUpdates

MIL finally sent weekend itinerary: ride the streetcar, poboys from Parkway, eat at Superior Grill and "that dessert place that we like". #InLawUpdates

Yes, he re-soled Crocs. They're at least 13 years old (how long hubs and I have been together) and have the "leather" top. Not sure how many times he's had them done. Not how. Stay tuned for more information (and pic if I'm stealthy) this weekend. #InLawUpdates

Asst. to Gov. Huey P. Longbody @writtennred.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

BIL will be on crutches during the visit. He stepped on a piece of glass, and the Crocs he has had re-soled multiple times didn't provide adequate protection. #InLawUpdates

Not sure which is a more accurate description of #Bertha. Is it the hottest muggy breeze? Or muggiest hot breeze?

Anywhere else this would be weird. Hopefully the heat gets them back to proper form.
