New Orleans has been branded and it can’t get up! I couldn’t let this go….this fabulous morale booster and genius words of wisdom from the mouth Mayor Nagin . He talked about any image for NOLA being a good thing! So let me get this straight – any news for NOLA is good news? Murder …
Well…. at least I’m fessing up to it. Nah – can’t lie – no good at it (would make a lousy politician). Anyhoo, I know you have all been on the edge of your seats waiting for the results of the survey I posted about on Wednesday. I know I told you that I would …
Last week I had a long talk with my “boss” (hey Jon Donley) at NOLA.com. Actually, I am only a freelance blogger for them, but hey – that is pretty cool! I get to say I am a “Professional Blogger.” We talked a bunch about agendas: NOLA.com, journalism in general, politicians, bloggers & my agenda. …
I took an on-line poll with my Cotillion sisters and the readers of Hooah Wife. 14 people answered the survey. 1. would you visit New Orleans tomorrow? 2. would you move to New Orleans tomorrow? 3. do you think Louisiana is using the money it asks for wisely? 4. has your attitude towards New Orleans …
Of course you do is the appropriate answer. And since your passport isn’t ready and Priceline doesn’t have great deals on plane tickets to Afghanistan, I have a better way for you to “virtually” be a part of this!!! Let me explain – Sunday morning, I get up (no hangover – yay), insert the coffee …

OMG ROTFL – for those of you non-geeks OMG = Oh my gosh ROTFL= rolling on the floor laughing. Anyhoo, I get the mail today and start skimming through a small locally run paper with a few articles & ads called Southern Homestead: Northshore Edition , because – you never know what you will find. …
Shhhhh….maybe I better stop telling everyone how great it is here. We enjoyed a fantabulous day on the Tchefuncte River and Lake Pontchatrain. For once we didn’t get pulled over on the water. Maybe we are “blending in” better!
Just like Ruby-Sue from the Christmas Vacation movie (cross-eyed until kicked in the head by a mule), I was not able to “think outside the box” as much before my head injury in 1993. And to my family’s dismay, I didn’t recover and become a good cook or play the piano. Local situational despair has …
I may have said some of this before – but it bares (not naked bare – get your mind out of the gutter) repeating. The Northshore of Lake Pontchatrain is NOT – I repeat NOT the red-headed stepchild of New Orleans. We are part of the “Greater New Orleans Area.” All of us support and …
No, I am not talking about Soldiers’ Angels for once, but about Guardian Angels. But hey – angels in Louisiana are needed for both!!! I was listening to the Andre Trevigne show on Tuesday and had the pleasure of hearing about the New Orleans Guardian Angels. I have to admit, that in my mind, they …
I am disgusted with Ramon the pool boy and my maid lately. Maybe they have found better opportunities (& if you don’t know that they are figments of my imagination- welcome new reader). As a matter of fact, last week I heard a statistic about the unemployment rate in St. Tammany Parish. It is at …
This letter was sent to me by my good friend in Canada. It appeared in the Calgary Sun Letters Section today: A total of 52 murders occurred in Toronto this year and it’s only July! The victims included innocent women and children. Before the year is over, the number will undoubtedly pass 66 — the …
I am up with a case of insomnia. Not really insomnia, but the dog was crying for a potty break and I am the one he can get up in the middle of the night. Then I realized I was hungry and fixed myself a snack, checked my e-mail and now am on the puter. …
Dear kids, I wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed spending time with you and your gazillion friends this summer. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t think of anything better to do with my time. . The dog is smart enough to hide under the bed for privacy. I wish I …
