I have never seen a public official as invisible as Mayor Ray Nagin. I have a cat that hides 99% of her life and she is more visible than him. Not talking politics here, just about doing what is expected for YOUR JOB!!! I had my Okie Indian (we are not PC here) pal photoshop …
Yep, we did our Hannukah, Perry style, tonight. I gave everyone a gift, cooked a nice dinner for the family, lit the menorah, read a couple of books about Chanukah, put up Christmas decorations and put up a few outdoor Christmas lights. My kids will certainly be in therapy some day and this will come …
Snoopy Dance Louisiana!!! I wasted 2 more hours of my precious life (6 total) today and it finally paid off. My insanity for the quest of the freaking Holy Grail Wii, was validated by the droves of other idiots in search of it as well. I was considering printing out a shirt that said “Got …
“I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet.†” Today is the last day of some of your life.” “Some say the glass is half full, some say the glass is half empty. I say, “Are you gonna drink that?†Lying in bed this AM, I was …
* to get you in the mood for the holiday spirit – here is a game that the monsters always find amusing. Nothing like kicking a Sugar Plum Fairy to make your day. * another family favorite is to shake the kids in the snow globe – it never gets old at this house. * …
Please e-mail gretaperry@gmail.com with tips regarding the crime done to my neighbor’s property over Thanksgiving. If you wish to remain anonymous, you’ve got my word. Someone is talking about it or bragging about it on MySpace. The vandals need to be held accountable for their actions and their parents need to know what they did. …
Reality has reared its’ ugly head again and I want it gone- NOW! I won’t even remind you how may days until Hannukah (I’m Jewish and can spell it any way I want -LOL), Christmas and Mardi Gras. Let’s face it, you know when you blink they will have come and gone and you will …

This past week has been absolute chaos (Murphy’s Law of everything). I barely stopped to eat anything but a frozen Reese’s I hid in the freezer (ya know – the good Halloween candy that you save to give out last and didn’t get taken). The whole fam damily will leave Louis Armstrong airport today for …
Thursday was D-day for my master bathroom. Amazing what taking a wall out will do. I am very happy with the process so far and the work ethics of Jim, my tile and “go to” dude. He is trying to help me orchestrate this little but very expensive project and he couldn’t be nicer. I …
Let’s face it, this cartoon tells it all. If you do or say something stupid…you will be blogged. I have had the occasion of people asking me, “You won’t blog about this …will you?” My usual answer is, “Oh yes, everything is blogworthy, but I change names to protect the innocent.” My friends and family …
* 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 …
I will leave my usual humorous tone aside today, in honor of all the men and women in the military, both past and present. This is a day of reflection and thanks to all who have served and their families who have served along with them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and …
The bride & groom go down the aisle to Barry White! Calm down – I know you want more….Well, it started with the invitation from hubby’s work for a “40 year later wedding.” Of course, I hardly know anyone at his work, but hey – babysitter, blue jean wedding – I’m game. Hubby is a …
* Peanut (Nutter, The Nut) – this 3 pound virtually brain dead (born 2-4 hours after the litter depending on who you ask) cat who the kids carry around like a doll, wouldn’t put her foot down on Friday. So I quickly put her in her carrier & took her to the vet. Immediately, she …
