*** Ya Ya, you already know (but hey – a little reminder never hurt anyone) that my live radio show debuts this Saturday (like I haven’t annoyed you with that enough every day over the past 2 weeks LOL) from 3:00-4:00 PM on WIST AM 690?! The “Kiss My Gumbo” show promises to be family …
I chaperoned my son’s 4th grade class to Honey Island Swamp for the day. Yepper, my first time in a the Louisiana Swamplands! What a great time and education for me, I mean the kids. You see, ain’t no swamps up there in MA where I grew up. This is all brand spanking new to …
It all started with a $1300 boat trailer bought 5 years ago. It is literally going to take an act of freaking Congress for me to register the boat trailer in this state. Yes, this is the very same trailer that we bought when we bought our boat at Bass Pro in Springfield, MO. Get …
* We arrived at 10:50 on Sunday and not a parking space in sight. The lots were full so I did the ole’ “Look kids… Big Ben, Jackson Square, Brewery” tour (ya, I was driving in circles like a complete moron)! The meter maids were out in full-force (they really should give it a rest …
I’m reading Michael Yon’s brand new book (signed edition) and what leaped out to me on pp. 24 & 25 was this: “Mail is more important than even hot showers or hot food. When I was in Fallujah, the mail center received about eight shipping containers every two days; three were filled with letters. People …
I just figured I better jump back on the vagina bandwagon some more if I want to be in the “cool kids club.” I know I know – I said no more vagina talk and I should get back to my Princess of Positive thing – but I need readers dammit. When I posted about …
*** To good not to keep this post going for another day! Scroll down to the bottom of this post for updates. Lots of comments on both my personal site and NOLA.com! Thanks for reading and commenting! That’s it, the Princess of Positive (yours truly) has had it with cell phone rudeness. Join me in …

Remember that episode from “King of Queens” when Doug drags Carrie to a Home Repair store to try and find “couple friends” without kids? Well, we have decided we either (1) need to convince all our friends to get boats (2) get a bigger boat (3) buy a waverunner so we can fit more friends …
*** My premier radio show is right around the corner! Mark your calendar – April 19th 3:00 WIST AM 690! I am so excited! *** Wanna send a crawfish boil “to go” to someone? Well I’ve got the solution for you. Cajun Grocer wanted me to sample their product and sent me 10 pounds of …
Ya, I know I said I’d keep politics off Kiss My Gumbo – don’t worry, it ain’t like I am endorsing a candidate for Congress on this blog or anything (first name starts with S and ends with E). But I had to tell you about the event I attended last night in New Orleans. …
Yesterday was a very traumatic day for me. I accompanied 43 – 6th graders (trauma enough) from Lake Harbor Middle School on a field trip to Mandeville Junior High, where they will attend next year. I felt bad for all the kiddos I was with because the other 285 – 6th graders attending, were from …

I wish I could declare it “The Summer of Greta” and slowly decompose like George did (a little Seinfled humor for you). But I am officially declaring it the start of summer – NOW. Two more months of school, planning the vacation to Destin, signing kids up for camps…yep summer! The pool is clean and …
That’s it – I’ve had it with all this “Princess of Positive” crap! For now on I am going by the name “Queen of Doom and Gloom.” Having to look at the glass as half-full is for idiots, morons, and losers. Face it – life sucks and it sucks even worse if you – the …
Googled yourself lately? Come one, fess up, I know you have! Have you done it without quotation marks, with quotation marks, including your hometown? Does it give you a rush to know that you have some place on teh internets (not a typo)? Does it validate your existence – if so, you are as pathetic …

* Maybe some of the ideas I blurt out on the blog aren’t so bad. The other day I said we needed a “LA LOL Animal” site and lookie here…reader CB made the first 2 evah!!! Start sending them in so I can catalog them and if someone wants to start a site for them, …
