Plan your commuting time accordingly folks…we are in this for the long haul. Look for these daily updates on the Casueway website. Though you can pretty much be assured your commute will suck for a long time to come and you can add 15-30 minutes on it! The website states: Due to the Corps levee …
Saturday October 3rd 8-2 2215 Cleary Avenue Metairie, LA Elk’s Lodge #30. This is a huge community yard sale benefiting Soldiers’ Angels. I’ll be there setting up early in the AM, heading to the studio for my show and heading back to work at it the rest of the time! Come on out and sign …
Here I sit preparing for my show tomorrow, looking for all warm and fuzzy things for Military Appreciation Month. I click on NOLA.com and see that there was a standoff where a Metairie man threatened to kill himself. Fisher said the man detailed problems he was suffering, including a job loss, disability issues and trouble …
Here is a little glimpse of a small parade and Family Gras. The funniest things is the girls couldn’t wait for Jesse McCartney to perform and then they did not believe it was him!
Who am I kidding…I am still a newbie – LOL. This will only be my 3rd Mardi Gras. PARKING Parking is an absolute PITA for parades – if you don’t plan well. Check on the the website of the parade you are going to attend or NOLA.com for the parade route and find out the …
Last night was hubby’s Christmas party for work. We had it at Austin’s Restaurant in Metairie. The food was spectacular. It was a 5 course meal with: fried eggplant in marinara sauce, duck and sausage gumbo (I passed on this), a lovely salad, trout almondine (fantabulous) or steak and bread pudding. After dinner, we got …
Update Friday: Spoke to LT Franz from the Causeway Commission. It seems there were 2 accidents at the time of the reported incident. The dispatch is not under control of them and is supposed to call on to the respective police on the other end of the bridge and obviously this did not happen. Grrrrrr… …
If you haven’t ever been to a Zephyrs game – GO. If you haven’t been to a game in a while – GO! If you haven’t taken every kid you know to a game – DO IT! We need to support them folks!!! It was also very cool to see both NOLA.com and WIST AM …
***My radio show yesterday was a bunch of fun! Each week I definitely feel more natural and am certainly enjoying all the interesting guests I have on!!! I love people!!! ***I stopped by Prima Donna’s Closet for our meet-up for our girl’s night out. Ya – I did a little shopping too. Hard to resist!! …
I dug around for info on the Metairie St Patty’s Day parade info and there wasn’t much out there but the starting time- noon. It wasn’t even mentioned on the front page of the Jefferson Parish website – WTH??? Anyhoo, I’ll be hanging out at the beginning of the parade so I can get home …
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 …
My name is Greta. “Hi Greta.” I turn 40 on March 16th and it has been 1 week since I last touched King Cake or beer. Hehehe – feeling silly at 2 AM. I missed the memo that most hysterectomy post-op patients also get INSOMNIA!!! Note to self, call for Ambien tomorrow. Too bad my …
I had to put the SNL land shark skit (safe for work) when I wrote “knock” – just seemed like an obvious fit (at least in my warped mind)! Last night I had the pleasure of going to a beautiful home filled with wonderful people in the once devastated area of Lakeshore Metairie. This area …
No – I’m not trash talking anyone. I am truly talking about trash – the trash thrown out windows and left in parking lots. I finally know where Fat City is and the next time I go I better be eating at a fine restaurant. Yep, I picked 2 full bags of nasty stuff all …
Saturday morning, yours truly, hubby and at least 1 or 2 of the 3 kids will head to Metairie, the PBS&J building to be exact (hubby works for them), to get down and dirty. Get your mind out of the gutter – we are going to participate in the Lake PontchatrainBeach Sweep. Besides doing something …
