Someone in Madisonville has a great sense of humor.
I got called a bimbo today. Seriously folks – I was LMAO!!! Being so vocal (and public) about recalling the Mayor of Mandeville, it is no surprise there are a couple of people who don’t like what I’m doing. No biggie – this is not a popularity contest – it is about doing what is …

* 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 …
Remember that episode from “King of Queens” when Doug drags Carrie to a Home Repair store to try and find “couple friends” without kids? Well, we have decided we either (1) need to convince all our friends to get boats (2) get a bigger boat (3) buy a waverunner so we can fit more friends …

Hubby and I had a date night tonight – a miracle. This is the first time we actually paid a babysitter since we moved here (pathetic huh?). The couple we went out with picked Coffee’s Boilin’ Pot in Madisonville. Totally casual, quaint and the food was fantabulous!!! I had a grilled tuna with an amazing …

I was in Cafe Press, surfing for New Orleans stuff and came across this: And get this…it was designed by someone who calls themselves “The Anti-Northshore Alliance.” Puhleeze! I …
Remember that “your chocolate is in my peanut butter” commercial? Get your mind out of the gutter – because that is what I was referring to with the title!

I recently met Milena Merrill in person. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, it should. Milena is the Northshore NOLA.com blog coordinator and master of EVERYTHING she touches, a remarkable woman. She shared her Katrina story with me, and as usual, my chin just dropped. But, her “it is what it is†attitude and …
