* A successful Soldier’s Angels fundraiser last night!!! Big sloppy puppy kisses to all who came out in the lousy weather! I will have pictures up at Soldiers Angels LA after I IV my coffee. So you say you couldn’t attend and still want to give…no problem. I will gladly accept any donations and even …
My name is Greta. You respond, “Hi Greta.” It has been 4 years ago since I started blogging and I confess, I have a blogging addiction. I’m a blogaholic! Not making fun of anyone with an addiction- I promise! Just thought we’d have some lighthearted Friday fun today! My neighbor and I were chit-chatting yesterday …
OK – Kiss My Gumbo is a lighthearted blog, a bunch of fun, eclectic and upbeat. Hey, I’m the freaking Princess of Positive…right? I spew my politics elsewhere, yes I do have some strong opinions, but am very fair and play politics nicely and you’d have to go find that stuff (not too hard if …
Join me from 12:15-2:00 as I live blog Danny Glover’s speech called Trouble the Water today at the Regional Equity 08 Summit. If you aren’t familiar with live blogging, let Yoda Greta teach you. I will type from my seat in the lecture hall what I see or hear as it happens, through my eyes. …
Never mind the mommy and domestic goddess responsibilities. The Princess of Positive has a very full schedule the next few days and hopefully I will see some of you at the events (still waiting for my new custom tiara and when I get it – you won’t be able to miss me). * Thursday March …
Yesterday I wrote about how ill the thought of any public official in Mandeville messing with the “Toys for Tots” funds made me. Cindy Chang’s article certainly would be a valid precursor for major ethics investigations or for those who were caught with their hands in the cookie jar to resign. Cindy is my favorite …

“Opportunity makes a thief.” ~Francis Bacon~ “If you ever have to steal money from your kid, and later on he discovers it’s gone, I think a good thing to do is to blame it on Santa Claus†~Jack Handy~ Disturbed was an understatement for how I felt when I read yesterday that the “Toys for …
Gosh I slept like a little baby last night. Yep, sat on the couch eating bonbons yesterday and watching my stories all day(bwahahaha). Well, we went to the zoo yesterday after about a 3 month break. If anyone could figure out how to duplicate yesterday’s weather and sell it, everyone would buy it! In other …
Last night our friends, Chat & Jen, who own Atmosphere Movers, invited us to go to the Castine Center with them. It was the Jr. League of Covington’s Spring Market Patron Party. My husband NEVER would have gone to one of these shopping events if it wasn’t under these circumstances (alcohol and men who weren’t …
Go ahead – I dare you – figure out how many books you have read and recall the names of them. Either way, it is fun! Now to have my 11 year old start his own. I’m still adding as I recall! Bad Indian Chris for starting me on this!
*** oops, looks like a technical error spoils the outcome of the 2008 Presidential election *** I think the kidnapping scammers were trying to get free books from Barnes & Nobles! Hellloooo…library is open! *** Dang pre-teen boys driving me nuts this week *** 17 more days until I turn 40 *** my big Soldiers’ …
Memes are little things that come around on the web that are like a bad cough that you share with your friends because you refuse to cover your mouth. Kind of like chain letters of modern day. I think I personally own the record for chain letter breaking. Yes, I even broke the children’s sticker …
Ladies and gentlemen – bathing suit season is right around the corner (after taxes). Join me in a group panic! psycho-01.wav
Sunday AM started bright and early in Pasadena. I attended a fabulous lunch at 7:15 AM with some gret e-friends (who I met in person for the first time). They drove me to LAX and dropped me off at 10AM or my 11:45 flight after a delicious California breakfast. What could possibly go wrong? GRRRR! …
I know my readers (from Kiss My Gumbo) expect a daily dose of humor, snark and positive. After all, I am the self-proclaimed “Princess of Positive.” This weekend I would like to take the opportunity to encourage and inspire you to do more as an American than wonder about that missing yellow ribbon magnet that …
