These days it seems everyone wants to be a blogger. Or is it that bloggers want to be something they are not? Or is it that people are pressured into having a blog? As a veteran blogger – nothing irks me more than a “dead blog.” I’m not talking about a blog that has been …
Just thought I’d join in and play the Google game! h/t The Dead Pelican
Update: Watched it on the TV last night and stand by my preliminary review. I fess, I watched the show on my puter from the NOLA.com local “watch this here” link. I also wrote about the show before my premier viewing. Let’s just say, it was pretty good. The characters are likable and some of …
I took this picture at the UCM Museum – if you haven’t been -go! I need to edit it to include those pesky LOVEBUGS!!!!! DIE BUGS DIE!!!!!!! I lived in Florida for 5 years – I can’t say I missed these little car corroding nuisances! They made me lose money on my truck trade- in …
Saturday morning, yours truly, hubby and at least 1 or 2 of the 3 kids will head to Metairie, the PBS&J building to be exact (hubby works for them), to get down and dirty. Get your mind out of the gutter – we are going to participate in the Lake PontchatrainBeach Sweep. Besides doing something …
Well it is official, Ramon the Pool Boy & my fictitious maid have run off and have left me! And that stinking Laundry Fairy needs to shut off the TV – all she wants to do is watch her “stories” and eat bon-bons. Dang – good help is hard to find. And it ain’t like …
LOVE CONNECTION OK – I am that person who knows somebody and when I hear you know somebody – I will give you their name…I am always trying to connect people – just something I do. However, I have not tried to set “someone up with someone” in forever. So last week, I was doing …
I know this is usually an upbeat blog, but today the only thing that seemed appropriate was a tribute to those who were killed on 9/11, 2001. Last year I participated in project 2,996 on my other blog and honored Debra Lynn Gibbon. Saturday I attended the Freedom Walk in Baton Rouge, where we honored …
Many thanks to my pal Don Stewart from DS Art for my brand new custom header. He is a ballpoint pen artist and usually does pictures with multiple pictures in them. I have bought tons for presents as they are all very reasonably priced and so cool! Please go visit his gallery!!! He also has …
Hard to believe we have only lived here a little over 7 months now. I have soaked up the culture and traditions and love learning about them each and every day. Mind you, my only experience here before our move here was a drive through Hurricane at Pat O’Breins as I traveled cross-country. * Mardi …
Last week I told you I went to the Southern Decadence Festival in New Orleans with my Cotillion sister Rightwingsparkle. To my horror, I could not get the tape to playback after she left town and was pretty sure it was stuck in videotape purgatory. Thank goodness – the file has been recovered and instead …
I wanted to share with ya’ll, the importance of flying the US Flag this Monday. You see, there is a national campaign you will be part of. If you already are flying a flag – great. If your flag is looking ratty and needs replacing – stop at Home Depot or wherever this weekend and …
* last day for me to register to run for Governor – guess I’ll pass for now & hold out for world domination! * I counted 385 houses for sale in Mandeville today on Realtor.com. 143 of those were over 300K. 22 over 500K * I think I’m going to be a Fred Head – …
The Labor Day cook-off was a huge success! Go see the pictures!!!
All the intelligent stuff I write *snicker* and this is probably my most Googled post from last year. Enjoy! I grew up being repeatedly told not to wear white shoes after Labor Day – ever!!! It was considered almost as bad as routingrooting for the Yankees – sacrilegious (go Red Sox)! White pocketbooks – Goodwill …
