As you now know, the Princess of Positive (yours truly), is an eternal optimist. You want to know my biggest flaw? Well, I’ll tell you anyways. I think all people are good and nice and kind unless they prove otherwise. D’oh! I’ve been called Pollyanna and have never been sure if that is good or …
I have this little gadget on my blog called a shoutbox (left bottom column of Kiss My Gumbo). Anyone can comment there and in real time it shows up. It is a tool I use to live blog events and it is up there just for yucks. Back it up Greta (car screeching sound inserted …
“I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet.†” Today is the last day of some of your life.” “Some say the glass is half full, some say the glass is half empty. I say, “Are you gonna drink that?†Lying in bed this AM, I was …
What may seem depressing or even tragic to one person may seem like an absolute scream to another person, especially if he has had between four and seven beers. ~Dave Barry~ Yes, it is true, once in a while the Princess of Positive can get a little down. You know, that life stuff: father sick, …
Now that I have your attention (evil laugh inserted here)! Chad, owner of The Dead Pelican and Roger’s Rants and I share opposing views on how we would run a political campaign (I’ll let you draw your own conclusion – lol). Seriously, if I were a campaign strategist or campaign manager, I would only focus …

The coolest thing about having a blog, is meeting …

A reader and friend of mine (Mena) recently sent me some e-mails that were post-worthy. She gave me her permission to post it. Gosh, I need to stop thinking of life in “posts.” Positive thoughts are contagious! BTW(by the way) – It is Sept 30th, I am sitting in my backyard writing this, in my …
Me, the Princess of Positive, feels just awful that the Saints lost last night. They were a speckle of inspiration for a state that has been kicked when it was down, then kicked again and again…and then a little more. Buck up little campers, it isn’t that bad and it ain’t over until….well it ain’t …
While you were all at work or school on Thursday, yours truly was invited by reader Mena, to attend a daytime literacy event sponsored by the Junior League of Covington. The event is part of a National push for children’s literacy called Jumpstart’s Read for the Record. The event took place at the Kids Konnection …
Well it is official, Ramon the Pool Boy & my fictitious maid have run off and have left me! And that stinking Laundry Fairy needs to shut off the TV – all she wants to do is watch her “stories” and eat bon-bons. Dang – good help is hard to find. And it ain’t like …
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” …
Oh gee, where is Dick Clarke when you need him? Do we need to have a ball drop each Katrina Anniversary? Since everyone and their grandmother who thinks they are somebody special will be in town, maybe good ole’ Dick can make a party out of it – New Orleans style. I can see it …

Once upon a time there was a city filled with life and diversity. People were attracted to the city because it had opportunities. The people that settled there knew that they were vulnerable to nature’s elements, but they chose to live there anyways. They raised families, generation after generation and for the most part, all …
Like I’ve said before, if I had a dime for every time I hear the word “Katrina,” I’d be a mighty rich woman. Then again, if I played the Katrina drinking game – I’d be comatose! Beer dude where are you??? Maybe he will be hanging out with all the “look America I am a …
