Break out the bug spray!!! Skin so Soft…whatever (now I will be swarmed by Avon ladies – first one to contact me from Mandeville gets my business). I got this letter from Pelican Park (where my kids play sports) and wanted to share with y’all. Dear Park user, This email is a reminder to always …
…responsible people! I can’t take it no more Alice! (I will not talk politics on Kiss My Gumbo 1,000 times- dang can’t help it). No no no – I ain’t talking about Mayor Nagin (still trying to book him on my radio show). I’m talking about the Mayor of Mandeville, Mayor front page of the …
Heck ya!!! I haven’t made it to Jazzfest yet (hopefully Sunday)- but Friday night at the Mandeville Trailhead was great for a family when someone had to work after 5! Tonight we saw Johnny Sketch & the Dirty Notes – they were great! I enjoyed seeing all the little kids dancing, sitting on stage and …
* My favorite signs in Mandeville * I got an e-mail from a concerned reader who wrote that: the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality is planning on closing their Mandeville office which is the only one in the parish. Once they leave, it will be a burden on us all to get them back here …
Tonight the 3 kids (plus a friend ) and myself, bravely crossed Florida Street, rode down Villere Street and made it to the Mandeville Trailhead for the opening concert series. We had a blast!!!! I had 2 beers, the kids had $2 hot dogs, some chips and drinks (no cooking for me). We hung out …
*** My premier radio show is right around the corner! Mark your calendar – April 19th 3:00 WIST AM 690! I am so excited! *** Wanna send a crawfish boil “to go” to someone? Well I’ve got the solution for you. Cajun Grocer wanted me to sample their product and sent me 10 pounds of …
Yesterday was a very traumatic day for me. I accompanied 43 – 6th graders (trauma enough) from Lake Harbor Middle School on a field trip to Mandeville Junior High, where they will attend next year. I felt bad for all the kiddos I was with because the other 285 – 6th graders attending, were from …

Googled yourself lately? Come one, fess up, I know you have! Have you done it without quotation marks, with quotation marks, including your hometown? Does it give you a rush to know that you have some place on teh internets (not a typo)? Does it validate your existence – if so, you are as pathetic …

Right now I am busy packing for myself and the rugmonsters. We are going to have one of those “visiting family” vacation in the Boston area. No white sand and umbrella drinks for this camper (give me a big – poor Greta – please). BTW, it is FREAKING COLD there! Look at the forecast below …
* A successful Soldier’s Angels fundraiser last night!!! Big sloppy puppy kisses to all who came out in the lousy weather! I will have pictures up at Soldiers Angels LA after I IV my coffee. So you say you couldn’t attend and still want to give…no problem. I will gladly accept any donations and even …
Never mind the mommy and domestic goddess responsibilities. The Princess of Positive has a very full schedule the next few days and hopefully I will see some of you at the events (still waiting for my new custom tiara and when I get it – you won’t be able to miss me). * Thursday March …
Yesterday I wrote about how ill the thought of any public official in Mandeville messing with the “Toys for Tots” funds made me. Cindy Chang’s article certainly would be a valid precursor for major ethics investigations or for those who were caught with their hands in the cookie jar to resign. Cindy is my favorite …

“Opportunity makes a thief.” ~Francis Bacon~ “If you ever have to steal money from your kid, and later on he discovers it’s gone, I think a good thing to do is to blame it on Santa Claus†~Jack Handy~ Disturbed was an understatement for how I felt when I read yesterday that the “Toys for …
Last night our friends, Chat & Jen, who own Atmosphere Movers, invited us to go to the Castine Center with them. It was the Jr. League of Covington’s Spring Market Patron Party. My husband NEVER would have gone to one of these shopping events if it wasn’t under these circumstances (alcohol and men who weren’t …
UPDATE: Apologies to Clifford from Red Stick Rant – he is not – I repeat – not a Yankee by birth. But, he did live there for a short time and he is a Red Sox fan! ***Monday is here and yes, I will do my “yay the kids are back in school dance.” ***What…March …
