My podcast is up from my Saturday show on guns. My guests were former FBI Special Agent Jim Bernazanni of Youth Rescue Mission discussing New Orleans and youth crime and Clifford Grout of Red Stick Rant regarding the campus carry bill. The non-profit highlighted this week was Work NOLA. A recent conversation with a soldier …

So you were Googling for something and landed on KMG (abbreviation for this blog for those who are slow)? I have shared with you many Google searches before- and let me tell you…the world is full of strange & “interesting” people. As always, this is for fun and entertainment and hopefully to make you laugh …

“Santa” bought Princess Whinalot (my 7 yo) Petite Rouge for Christmas. If you haven’t guessed what the book is about, go drink more coffee…lol…Cajun Red Riding Hood of course. Somehow I hadn’t been asked to read this book to her until last night when I was good and tired. A year ago, I would never …

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 …

D’uh, they are both interactive (I LIVE for comments-hint). Well readers, as you know (or you don’t and should read my archives), my parents are visiting from MA and they hey have never ever been to Mardi Gras before. So, I spent the day explaining (too freaking cold to go to a parade today) why …

Oh barnacles – looks like Gremlins took the post that I worked a whole hour on last night!!!!GRRRRR! I’ll fix this up for you later – promise. Hate when that happens! ***Hubby is currently nursing his Wii injury! *** My neighbor Nick, taught me all about the Cajun Chandelier process. I want to make one …

* If you haven’t got into the whole LOLcats & I can has cheezburger craze – time to branch out. My kids love it (me too-guilty). * My friend Beth linked to the Barney Cam for White House cuteness overload. *Go play Simon Sez Santa with your co-workers today. Make Santa, kill Rudolph, pick nose, …

Did you ever have one of those days where you felt like something your dog dragged out from the litter box (ewww)? Well, yours truly has had a few this past week. Don’t panic and don’t start sending meals over (though if you know anything about my cooking disability – my family would always appreciate …

Now that I have your attention (evil laugh inserted here), let’s talk about shameless self-promotion. A blogger (which is what I am) calls it link-blegging, a writer (Chris Rose) calls it being smart. To a blogger, you could have the best darn blog in the universe, but unless you link to bigger bloggers, you are …

It is 7:30 AM on a Saturday and why am I awake? Oh well. Got the coffee, got my computer and am watching “Chulo the Stupor dog” chase Lovebugs. He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he wakes up every day wagging his tail, ready to conquer the back yard and …

What good can come out of the Jena circus? Will the crowds and demonstrators get unruly? Will there be controversy and violence due to this case? Or can we turn this case around as a positive lesson for the young people today? First off, let me say that I am as disgusted and ashamed that …

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 …

What can I say – but that was the best $2 (with coupon) I have spent in a long time. We had a blast at the UCM Museum (5 miles North of I-12) in Abita Springs . The curator, John Preble couldn’t be nicer and more patient as the 6 kids poked around his gift …
