I know this is usually an upbeat blog, but today the only thing that seemed appropriate was a tribute to those who were killed on 9/11, 2001. Last year I participated in project 2,996 on my other blog and honored Debra Lynn Gibbon. Saturday I attended the Freedom Walk in Baton Rouge, where we honored …
Many thanks to my pal Don Stewart from DS Art for my brand new custom header. He is a ballpoint pen artist and usually does pictures with multiple pictures in them. I have bought tons for presents as they are all very reasonably priced and so cool! Please go visit his gallery!!! He also has …
Hard to believe we have only lived here a little over 7 months now. I have soaked up the culture and traditions and love learning about them each and every day. Mind you, my only experience here before our move here was a drive through Hurricane at Pat O’Breins as I traveled cross-country. * Mardi …
Last week I told you I went to the Southern Decadence Festival in New Orleans with my Cotillion sister Rightwingsparkle. To my horror, I could not get the tape to playback after she left town and was pretty sure it was stuck in videotape purgatory. Thank goodness – the file has been recovered and instead …
I wanted to share with ya’ll, the importance of flying the US Flag this Monday. You see, there is a national campaign you will be part of. If you already are flying a flag – great. If your flag is looking ratty and needs replacing – stop at Home Depot or wherever this weekend and …
OK – it is going to be a paraphrase because I can’t find the darn transcript on-line. I had Neil Cavuto on while I was scolding the Laundry Fairy today. He was interviewing, Kinky Friedman the Independent from Texas. Neil was asking him about the Presidential candidates. Kinky went through the list and actually made …
* last day for me to register to run for Governor – guess I’ll pass for now & hold out for world domination! * I counted 385 houses for sale in Mandeville today on Realtor.com. 143 of those were over 300K. 22 over 500K * I think I’m going to be a Fred Head – …
Complain about the rain, complain about the sun, the heat, the cold, the humidity. But if you are 9yo and get off the school bus – you run in the house and get on your bathing suit! So loosen up everyone and do something carefree and silly today. Also, if negative thoughts enter your head …
The Labor Day cook-off was a huge success! Go see the pictures!!!
All the intelligent stuff I write *snicker* and this is probably my most Googled post from last year. Enjoy! I grew up being repeatedly told not to wear white shoes after Labor Day – ever!!! It was considered almost as bad as routingrooting for the Yankees – sacrilegious (go Red Sox)! White pocketbooks – Goodwill …

As I told you in my last post, I hit the Southern Decadence Festival with a couple of friends and a video camera (not mine). Last night & today my super duper pal Milena from NOLA.com tried to transfer the footage from the tape & the tape is corrupted – no footage whatsoever. Even worse, …
I met my Cotillion sister and her best friend in the French Quarter today. They were stopping for a few hours on their way to Biloxi. We certainly did not have an ordinary time. After a drink in a bar and an interview with a very intelligent bartender, we headed to The Blue Dog Gallery …
I think “they” is more elusive than the red-striped hiding Waldo. I mean, after 5 minutes of talking to my mom on the phone, I am pretty sure that I live in an Orwellian society with “theys” all around me. The press is having a field day pointing fingers to “they” and his brothers “them” …
