Marvin – everyone’s favorite bartender and I took this pic this morning. I’m blogging to you from the top of the Hotel Monteleone in the hospitality suite. The view of the mighty Mississippi Rive is breathtaking up here. My tummy is full from a breakfast sponsored by Van Gogh Vodka and I can’t believe I …
Revving up for Tales of the Cocktail and the opportunity to be a co-chair of a blogger get-together for Ford motors kind of just fell from the sky. Free dinner for 4 blogging friends at Mandina’s on Sunday night (I’ll be recovering from Tales – uh oh), test drive the Ford Taurus, blog about it …

This post will be cryptic and to the point (that makes no sense – but hey – you get what you pay for). Ups, downs, highs, lows and I’m not just talking about what happens to me if I don’t get my hormone pills (seriously, 1 day without and I may hurt someone). Life is …

Update: For everyone involved in the contest mentioned on point #6 – good luck and have fun. 1. Who is @kissmygumbo? My name is Greta Perry and I’m just some 41 yo stoopid housewife (hate that word – but I never sit on the couch and eat bon-bons), mom of 3 who supports the troops …
I’m so excited and honored to be a part of Tales of the Cocktail this year. Mr. and Mrs. Cocktail’s radio show (The Straight Pour) comes after mine and I consider them and the Cocktail Angels as part of the extended Perry family now. Last year I was unable to attend as it fell on …
My motto on my other blog is, “We don’t drink the kool-aid, we pee in it.” I’m not into bashing people, not my style. I’m not nasty about politics either. But…when I see something that doesn’t sit right with me, I will call it out. Sarah Palin has certainly taken enough grief lately (sad about …
I thought I already wrote about a moron this week? Oh… but that one was not a politician. NEWSFLASH “Moronic Louisiana Politician” in the news! Our own Ray Nagin and his shady computer scheme. Seems the Voodoo Queen must have done some magic on his computer as his e-mails magically disappeared. Fercryingoutloud, I just used …

A vehicle-born improvised explosive device exploded near the German Embassy and a U.S. base. Eliminating threats such as the VBIED is the focus of Army’s 3rd Counter-IED Conference that was scheduled July 28-30. …
What does it take to make the front page of NOLA.com these days? The competition is tough here; rapping for politicians, stealing from Toys for Tots, having a freezer full of cash, getting quarantined in China. Nobody actually reads the shooting articles anymore – they are getting trivial (sadly) and are just headline skimmers. In …
This cap and trade stuff is making me sick to my stomach! I hope Mary Landrieu does some type of crazy dance or rap on the Senate floor to get her point across that she does not want this to pass. Nick, over at Conservative Cajun sent me this today and BRAVO to him! Fellow …
Got this from here FYI – yes it is probably photoshopped- but still hysterical c/p at Hooah Wife
I had to blurt this out this AM, because it was bugging the tar out of me. Freaking Twitter, FB and blogs are all on the fallen celebrity bandwagon right now. Every loss of human life is sad, but why isn’t there more talk about the fallen heroes? Each of these heroes should get front …
