Better get the evacuation plan at least…planned!
UPDATE FRIDAY NIGHT: * Andre’s show was a blast today.You can listen to it live here. I claim ignorance with everything related to my Corps field trip. I certainly don’t want to be known as the “queen of misinformation.” I’ll be back on for “deja vu all over again” with Andre on September 7th at …
“Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.” ~Colin Powell~ Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it. ~Bill Cosby~ We should recognize that on the day that we are born, our glass is half …
I just read this article & as much as I can understand and feel the frustration of the people directly effected, I am also feeling that no matter what the corps does – they are the enemy. You can only scold a child so much before it become ineffective, you have to praise them once …

Well…. at least I’m fessing up to it. Nah – can’t lie – no good at it (would make a lousy politician). Anyhoo, I know you have all been on the edge of your seats waiting for the results of the survey I posted about on Wednesday. I know I told you that I would …
I took an on-line poll with my Cotillion sisters and the readers of Hooah Wife. 14 people answered the survey. 1. would you visit New Orleans tomorrow? 2. would you move to New Orleans tomorrow? 3. do you think Louisiana is using the money it asks for wisely? 4. has your attitude towards New Orleans …
Shhhhh….maybe I better stop telling everyone how great it is here. We enjoyed a fantabulous day on the Tchefuncte River and Lake Pontchatrain. For once we didn’t get pulled over on the water. Maybe we are “blending in” better!
Just like Ruby-Sue from the Christmas Vacation movie (cross-eyed until kicked in the head by a mule), I was not able to “think outside the box” as much before my head injury in 1993. And to my family’s dismay, I didn’t recover and become a good cook or play the piano. Local situational despair has …
No, I am not talking about Soldiers’ Angels for once, but about Guardian Angels. But hey – angels in Louisiana are needed for both!!! I was listening to the Andre Trevigne show on Tuesday and had the pleasure of hearing about the New Orleans Guardian Angels. I have to admit, that in my mind, they …
I am disgusted with Ramon the pool boy and my maid lately. Maybe they have found better opportunities (& if you don’t know that they are figments of my imagination- welcome new reader). As a matter of fact, last week I heard a statistic about the unemployment rate in St. Tammany Parish. It is at …
This letter was sent to me by my good friend in Canada. It appeared in the Calgary Sun Letters Section today: A total of 52 murders occurred in Toronto this year and it’s only July! The victims included innocent women and children. Before the year is over, the number will undoubtedly pass 66 — the …
1. bring in superheroes to fight crime – don’t we all wish 2. put mom’s with budgets in charge of the entire state for one year – volunteer only – that way there won’t be corruption!!! 3. put ALL publicly elected officials on political paid leave for one year in exchange for hands-on ground work. …
* CLARIFICATION: The chimps were in NO way insulting – I just thought they were cute:) I was honored to be included in a meeting of the minds, round-table style discussion today. I must have fooled somebody who thought I might have something intelligent to say. But, I had on a new dress (thanks Prima …
I know we have the Fleur-de-lis Ambassadors in New Orleans. Now picture this – a chatty lady waiting for the stinkin’ Dumbo ride for a half-hour. She chats about Louisiana and New Orleans and how wonderful it is. A woman said she went there last year with her kids and fell in love with it! …
I try and keep my political opinions off this blog – because beeelieve me & you …..I have them. A few thoughts from an honest, hard working mom and wife with integrity and honesty to a fault: Put women in charge of everything in LA – from mayor to Congress. Not career politicians or “show …
