Here is the podcast for your listening pleasure. I’ll get the pictures up later. ***My first guest was the Reverend Howard Pastorella, Director of Spirit of Freedom Ministries. This is an addiction outreach recovery program. Please call them today for their free CD and to get enrolled for their price of the remarkably low $20 …
I am writing this for those who have never been to a Royal Revelation Ceremony and for those who are convinced that Mardi Gras is only about girls tits boobs (that will increase my traffic – mwuhahaha). Last year my husband rode in the Orginal Krewe of Oprheus, but came in late. This year, he …
First off, thanks for being so patient. The past few days, KMG was experiencing some technical difficulties! YAY – they are all fixed now! I wish I could just walk around and pair up great people looking for love (no aspirations for a dating service – don’t worry). Besides, statistically, most people will meet on …
“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 …
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 …
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 …

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 …
(click all pictures to make bigger) I have been going to military balls for the past 15 years and understand all the intricacies, traditions and formalities that are unique to them (party shirt, punch ceremonies, loading your purse with things before you go so you can win stuff etc…). This Mardi Gras ball thing is …

I have to admit it, I am a sucker for animals. I have waited all year to attend Barkus again. It takes place at Sunday at 2:00. Unfortunately, Chulo the Stupor Dog won’t be able to attend (they only allow dogs that aren’t psychotic). (this picture screams for a caption – hint) If you want …
Yes, that is a question I received from a friend on Facebook (Greta Perry if you want to be my friend) last night. My Answer: “I am living Mardi Gras.†Unless you grew up here or lived here through Mardi Gras season (this is my second one), you really can’t grasp what it is (I …
What were the chances that Bacchus and the Superbowl would end up at the same time (please don’t make me research this to see if it ever happened before)? While the Patriots were playing this weekend, my husband informed me we were invited to the Bacchus Ball with his company. I am still recovering from …
