This is my first venture out to Slidell (& the kids too). Hubby had house shopped there and it was time for the rest of the fam damily to explore. Of course, a trip to Sam’s Club was sooooo overdue- chaching!!! First, we stopped at a fabulous cafe’, called Southside Cafe’. It was owned by …
By making a deal with the devil, I am referencing my Charter internet services. Yesterday, I spent at least an hour of “my time” on the phone with someone who speaks English as their second language and works in some type of customer service sweatshop in a foreign land. You know, the person who reads …
The rugmonsters don’t have school today – or all of next week. I skim and I search and have yet to find someplace with an clearinghouse for a calendar of events. I mean, the moron guide, where you pick a date and then venue and it spits out ALL the events in the state! Someone …
I loooove being outside, don’t mind mowing the lawn, cleaning the pool, getting dirty, but I have NEVER EVER developed a love for gardening. My only exception, is the roses that I loved and nurtured in El Paso, while simultaneously killing cactus (really). Now I face a landscaped home with years of plant love from …
The title could represent so many different things. First and foremost, this blog. As you can see from the sidebars (wherever they are now), I have my first 2 locally targeted ads up. YAY! Me, well tell me someone who isn’t a work in progress? Then, of course, there is New Orleans. Yep, a huge …
Really I don’t have any deep thoughts yet, because my coffee IV has a kink in it this morning. The countdown until the rugmonsters go on Spring Break is on (2 more days) and baseball season has started for my oldest child. The parents on #1 son’s baseball team were just wonderful, friendly, chatty etc… …
I was raised in a suburb of Boston, did my undergrad in Maine, did my grad work at University of Florida (yay Gators basketball), lived in Sacramento (McClellan AFB), Satellite Beach Florida (Patrick Air Force Base), Ft. Leavenworth Kansas (did my time in Leavenworth- snicker), Harker Heights, Texas (Ft. Hood), El Paso, Texas (Ft. Bliss), …
* “Road Home Faces Detour” – Honestly, how many goofy titles can you come up with for this? Answer- tons! * “Who Will Be NO. 1?” – Well hubby and I are Gators -no brainer. * “Mayor presides over egg hunt.” – From the picture – it appears he is the one with the floppy …

Really, I am fairly low maintenance woman. But a girl’s got to have new Spring clothes & I do love shopping at Prima Donna’s closet (fine consignment) in Metairie (no I am not getting paid to say this). Who doesn’t love a great bargain? I was fortunate that fabulous Stephanie (love the rest of the …
The whole fam damily headed off in the family truckster for the monthly block party held in Downtown Covington (about a 15 minute drive). The former owners of our house bought a condo in walking distance from the main event, so we were meeting up with them as they graciously invited us to show us …
I couldn’t let this one go without a little opinion thrown in here. You see, trash has become a big deal around the New Orleans area. Hence the idea of a large rolling barrel was born and the historic districts are not thrilled with these oversized cans (blablabla). Then there was some name calling (not …
Dear Neal , I know you will be on the other side of the lake tonight for a book signing at Borders Books in Metairie. The “painful” truth is that the whole fam damily was invited to the Friday night block party in Covington. Let’s face it Neal, the kids would enjoy the block party …
Another boring day, sitting my dead butt on the couch eating bon-bons by the dozen. Nahhhh…. I took the kiddos to the pediatrician first thing this morning for their newbie appts. Let’s just say, we had some “issues” at the office. Son #1 has a “needle phobia” and there was NO way – even if …
