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 …

Dang, how did Valentine’s Day sneak up on us so fast? We just finished Mardi Gras, does anyone really care about it but Hallmark? Seems I only cared about Valentines’ Day when I was alone on it – it sucked. It seemed hubby was deployed or away most Valentine’s Day. However, he always sent me …

UPDATE SUNDAY: I finally hand you a list of the talent for the show that I had the privilege of live blogging on Saturday. I was invited to attend and (maybe) live blog the event and I did live blog for a 3 hour time-span. Unfortunately, I had a family to tend to and could …

“I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.” ~Author Unknown~ Recently, I was at Walgreen’s picking up a prescription. My daughter was busy waving at the security screen in front of us, because, hey, she could be Hannah Montana for 5 seconds in her …
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 …
I was speaking to someone the other day who told me LSU & Tulane picked their colors for their schools based on the leftover material from Mardi Gras. Makes sense, but it is true? I had to ask her, “Are you sure this isn’t some old wive’s tale?” She was convinced it wasn’t and so …
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, …

Dang, somehow by not growing up here, I missed the class in “Parade Strategizing 101.” My best edumacated guess right now is that you want to get somewhere not so crowded so your kids can get a good spot to catch stuff! Then again, you need them front and center to make “eye contact” with …
Sometimes I think Chris Rose channels me (lol) (maybe one of these days he’ll even say hello to me). He knew I was going to write about the Hornets today or tomorrow and beat me to the punch. But hey, can there be too much of a media barrage for anything (unless your last name …
Please join me and a couple of friends as we liveblog another episode of American Idol – will be fun! Every once in a while I like to share with you just how readers end up on Kiss My Gumbo. Yes, “Big Brother” is watching you (also known as statcounter). Here is how it works, …
* Last night we went to a farewell party for the Saint’s Special Team’s Coordinator, Coach John Bonamego. He is heading to the Dolphins this week for better opportunities. Yes, they play the Saints in pre-season and the Patriots twice next season (sorry John – we will be rooting against your new team). If you …
(click all pictures to make bigger) I have been going to military balls for the past 15 years and understand all the intricacies, traditions and formalities that are unique to them (party shirt, punch ceremonies, loading your purse with things before you go so you can win stuff etc…). This Mardi Gras ball thing is …

I have to admit it, I am a sucker for animals. I have waited all year to attend Barkus again. It takes place at Sunday at 2:00. Unfortunately, Chulo the Stupor Dog won’t be able to attend (they only allow dogs that aren’t psychotic). (this picture screams for a caption – hint) If you want …
