“I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.” ~Author Unknown~ Recently, I was at Walgreen’s picking up a prescription. My daughter was busy waving at the security screen in front of us, because, hey, she could be Hannah Montana for 5 seconds in her …
I know, every morning you wake up to Kiss My Gumbo to be dazzled by something stupid I have to say or read about a goofy event I experienced. Well, today is your day, dear Kiss My Gumbo Readers. Today, the Princess of Positive wanted to acknowledge all of you who silently read my blog …
If nothing else – you gotta give me an A++ for the title of this post. When Super Tuesday collides with Fat Tuesday, even this political nut puts politics in the backseat. Besides, Louisiana has as much control over the outcome of Super Tuesday as I did by yelling at the Patriots during Superbowl Sunday …
I was speaking to someone the other day who told me LSU & Tulane picked their colors for their schools based on the leftover material from Mardi Gras. Makes sense, but it is true? I had to ask her, “Are you sure this isn’t some old wive’s tale?” She was convinced it wasn’t and so …
I should just end the post here…but that would be boring…right?? I wrote previously that we were “supposed” to go the Bacchus Ball, but hubby refused because of the Superbowl. I’ve decided against serving chicken wings in my ball gown (I just had it dry cleaned) as I am just excited as everyone else. Hubby …
These specific lessons were learned YESTERDAY. It is 8 AM as I am starting to write this post and I will hear or pay for the mistakes I made all day (fer sure). Feel no pity for The Princess of Positive, but laugh “with” her and “for” her as it hurts to laugh (and yes, …

You’ve caught them…now what? If you are riding next year, you may want get them organized to throw. Last night I offered my kids 25 cents for every dozen they culled for next year (stapled with paper). If that ain’t your M.O. – they will be collecting dust in your attic or garage (you know …
I never did the sorority thing, but as I’ve gotten older and wiser, I realize that other women can truly compliment your life. I hang with my on-line girls every day, called the Cotillion. We are the best and brightest bloggers in the blogosphere and it is invite only. We have quite a blogroll and …

Dang, somehow by not growing up here, I missed the class in “Parade Strategizing 101.” My best edumacated guess right now is that you want to get somewhere not so crowded so your kids can get a good spot to catch stuff! Then again, you need them front and center to make “eye contact” with …
Sometimes I think Chris Rose channels me (lol) (maybe one of these days he’ll even say hello to me). He knew I was going to write about the Hornets today or tomorrow and beat me to the punch. But hey, can there be too much of a media barrage for anything (unless your last name …
Please join me and a couple of friends as we liveblog another episode of American Idol – will be fun! Every once in a while I like to share with you just how readers end up on Kiss My Gumbo. Yes, “Big Brother” is watching you (also known as statcounter). Here is how it works, …
Chad, the owner of The Dead Pelican was kind enough to give me some linky love. Thank you for stopping by and I would love to have you subscribe (in the right hand column) to Kiss My Gumbo each day. I write almost every single day and I am eclectic, but sure to entertain you! …
Well, not exactly, but I liked the title and I’m sticking with it! We attended the Krewe of Eve (the women’s parade) parade in Mandeville last night. How many “throws” can one family accumulate over a month? Well, a ton, and very little of it is edible (like a fruitcake). We brought two rolling suitcases …
* Last night we went to a farewell party for the Saint’s Special Team’s Coordinator, Coach John Bonamego. He is heading to the Dolphins this week for better opportunities. Yes, they play the Saints in pre-season and the Patriots twice next season (sorry John – we will be rooting against your new team). If you …
