***My first single looking for love this week is… Susanna (pretty name), is 30 years young and a Northshore gal. She was born and raised on the South Shore and is a graduate of UNO. She is the proud mom of a 9yo who keeps her busy. She is open-minded, smart, enjoys bike riding, yoga, …
The smell of love is in the air at Kiss My Gumbo (Bogalusa has a stinky paper mill I sometimes smell). As many of you know, I am a very happily married woman for 13 years (together almost 16). Well, I figure I have a lot to be grateful for, even though hubby ruined my …

I should just end the post here…but that would be boring…right?? I wrote previously that we were “supposed” to go the Bacchus Ball, but hubby refused because of the Superbowl. I’ve decided against serving chicken wings in my ball gown (I just had it dry cleaned) as I am just excited as everyone else. Hubby …
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, …

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 …
Continue reading “Eve has a new Krewe Member-The Princess of Positive”
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 …
The Princess of Positive is here to tell you a little bit about construction in Mandeville. You know how much I love my new home (just celebrated my 1 year anniversary here and my 1 year Blogiversary too). But someone has got to talk about it and it might as well be me. Now you …
I can only speak from my personal experiences with this topic and I can only speak about Mandeville, St. Tammany Parish (the Northshore or North Shore), but thought it was worth sharing. For the past week, I have been house shopping for my parents. They live in the same house they bought when they got …
…your 7 year old (Princess Whinalot) gets beamed in the head with a throw! I won’t get all negative about it (I am The Princess of Positive), but common sense tells you – a desk calendar thrown from a 2 story float will undoubtedly contribute to some girl drama and tears. Eh…she got over it …
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 …
Last year we moved to Louisiana just 2 weeks before Mardi Gras (and the kids had vacation too- geesh). All the festivities were celebrated in between unpacking boxes and learning our way around our new home. This year I am planning a little better! Do I need to remind you that Mardi Gras is right …
Who invented this fine dining idea? Guess there is more to life than Sonic and dry cereal (my cooking disability always gets in the way)? Last night, yours truly, hubby’s 2 “old” (evil laugh inserted here) Army buddies and their better halves rocked La Provence in Lacombe. Who wouldtahunk there would be such an amazing …
Update: pictures and a summary of my WGSO experience. I’ll be spending my morning with Jeff Blanco & Jeff Crouere(that sounds pretty bad in writing). Jeff Blanco “blog greeted” me with open arms when I moved here this past year. He asked my to contribute on his site, and I eventually caved in. We’ve spoken …
* I want to blog – write whatever I want – unedited * I want people to read my blog on NOLA.com and my personal blog * I want to “brand” myself as the “go to” blogger for St. Tammany and the greater New Orleans area * I want to entertain people and bring a …
I took this picture in Covington this past weekend. What a freaking hoot the owner of this van must be! You didn’t think you weren’t going to get any humor today…did you? While out and about this weekend I spoke to some “city folk.” You know, people who moved to the area post-Katrina and haven’t …
