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 …
There are three side effects of acid: enhanced long-term memory, decreased short-term memory, and I forget the third. ~Timothy Leary~ Pedro: Hey how am I driving, man? Man Stoner: [looks around] : I think we’re parked. ~Up in Smoke – Cheech & Chong 1978~ I’m here NOLA, St. Tammany, Louisiana, world – “The Princess of …
This little story was too good not to share. So here goes: I had just finished shopping at Rouse’s with my 3 little monsters. They are all lucky I didn’t strap them to the roof on the way home (a whole 2 miles), because they were just miserable (who invented this school vacation stuff?). We …

Hate when that happens! ***Hubby is currently nursing his Wii injury! *** My neighbor Nick, taught me all about the Cajun Chandelier process. I want to make one …
And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. ~John F. Kennedy speech excerpt~ One of …

Well, when you have your neighborhood Christmas party sponsored by Abita beer and Santa happens to be one of your favorite neighbors, who happens to be a plastic surgeon, you can imagine the requests. This is a long post for me – but worth the read!!! Let me back up here (tire screech sound effect). …
No sillies, no beer for school parties (but, boy, would it have been nice to have today). Remember, our kids are brainwashed to think alcohol is a drug after Red Ribbon Week (that is a whole other post). Today, all 3 rugmonsters had their school Christmas parties (they did the dreidels earlier in the week). …
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 wasn’t even going to post this morning as I posted yesterday afternoon. After getting up at 5 and doing my usual morning reading – I had to write before my head exploded and made an awful mess all over my laptop (blogging is my free therapy). Children – the world is about children, whether …
Correction – our waitress’s name was Nikki (not Vikki) like my husband wrote down. Sorry girl! I learned something new today – Dom DeLuise is not the same person as as Chef Paul. Still the NKODB (new kid on the block) here..be patient with me! (Denise & Gasper Chifici left me & hubby right) The …
Not really – but what a headline – huh??? The scary thing is…the same psycho moms who would have sold a body part for a Wii (I only stooped to the level of considering flashing my post child breastesess to the UPS dude- doubt that would have worked) are now considering this tactic after reading …

* If you haven’t got into the whole LOLcats & I can has cheezburger craze – time to branch out. My kids love it (me too-guilty). * My friend Beth linked to the Barney Cam for White House cuteness overload. *Go play Simon Sez Santa with your co-workers today. Make Santa, kill Rudolph, pick nose, …
UGH!!!!! So the little bugger didn’t want to go to school. Maybe all he wanted for Christmas was to be arrested? This “obviously” troubled teen from Mandeville High School is in deep doo doo for making a bomb threat and now his picture is plastered on the internet. Tis the season for mental disorders and …
I recently wrote about my neighbor’s house being vandalized by teenagers. Now Frosty got “iced” in Slidell, bomb threats made to local High Schools and then all them pesky kids were arrested. Dang, I thought I moved to Utopia??? You see, all these things did happen in my backyard! The back yard of a lovely …
By now you know that, yours truly, “The Princess of Positive,” has a unique (deranged) perspective on life. I see things differently than Jane Shmo, and to tell you the truth, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Let’s face it, there are always few bad pinto beans in every bag of dried legumes. You just …
