Update: Friday 1:00 I called the Registrar Of Voters in Covington – early voting is today until 4:30 and Saturday 8:30-4:30. I asked for explanations about the 4 Constitutional Amendments and was given this website and someone please dumb this down for me. As for the 4 Parish ballot yes & no – I was …
Now that we are all settled into our new home in Louisiana, have embraced the culture, sold all the junk that doesn’t accommodate our new lifestyle, we have one little problem…………..we cheer for the enemy! Well, not the true enemy, but the opposing team, the teams that aren’t a favorite of Louisiana. Below is a …
I had to put the SNL land shark skit (safe for work) when I wrote “knock” – just seemed like an obvious fit (at least in my warped mind)! Last night I had the pleasure of going to a beautiful home filled with wonderful people in the once devastated area of Lakeshore Metairie. This area …
Grinder, sub, po-boy/po’boy/po boy = bread and something in between it…or does it? Growing up in a suburb of Boston, we always went to the local pizza place for a “grinder” (pronounced grind-ah). It could be any of your garden variety subs, prepared just the way you like it and popped into the big pizza …

“It’s a small world, but I wouldn’t want to paint it” ~Steven Wright~ First off let me say, it is absolutely beyond my comprehension how anyone in this world thinks they can get away with anything – because someone will know someone and it will come back one day to bite you in the “arse.” …
This cool coffee art is painted by local artist Richard Lewis. He calls his art Caribbean Primitive/Pop. This picture is titled “Cafe’ au Lait and Beignets.” This picture is enough to brighten up anyone’s day. Honey – another hint of a picture I would really like!!! The coolest thing about having a blog, is meeting …

Update Saturday – pictures & still wondering if the rumor about Mayor Nagin holds any water. I did my share this evening and contributed to the Abita Beer fundraising for the front entrance of our subdivision (thanks Troy- he works there). My fantabulous Lakewood Heights(awesome website) neighborhood in Mandeville of about 120 homes, had at …
Fercryingoutloud, how do you properly pronounce “New Orleans?” I researched the heck out of this mystery (one place- hey this is no stinkin term paper). It doesn’t seem that there is a right, but there certainly are wrongs. Is it Jee-na or Jen-a? Seriously, pronouncing New Orleans is about as confusing as Bostonian outsiders trying …
* is it Thursday already? barnacles – where did the week go? * tomorrow is my neighborhood block party-yeeha (no designated driver necessary). Many thanks to Abita Beer for donating beer. The money from each beer goes to help fund our new front entrance. I promise (Scout’s Honor) to do my share and drink plenty! …
Funny, I was going to write about Craigslist (Hi Craig – yes, he is a real person-we’ve e-mailed) and up pops the news and….. another Craigslist prostitution arrest – this one, 2 sisters in Slidell, Louisiana. I hate to laugh, but I can’t stop – I am easily amused by stupid people! Yes, these sisters …
Me, the Princess of Positive, feels just awful that the Saints lost last night. They were a speckle of inspiration for a state that has been kicked when it was down, then kicked again and again…and then a little more. Buck up little campers, it isn’t that bad and it ain’t over until….well it ain’t …
I live blogged it and…it was painful. Sorry – go ahead throw popcorn at me if you really liked it. Let’s just put it this way, I won’t be watching it again. I wasn’t feeling the characters and I thought the plot was goofy. There wasn’t any of the touchy feely family and post-Katina stuff. …
I love to feature local artwork on my blog. So I surfed (bad habit-so easy to get sucked in for long hours of time) to find a picture that screamed, “Monday morning post.” I love this picture and the title is also apropos for me as it is “4-cup morning” by NOLA artist Kerrie Jones. …
Now that I have your attention (evil laugh inserted here), let’s talk about shameless self-promotion. A blogger (which is what I am) calls it link-blegging, a writer (Chris Rose) calls it being smart. To a blogger, you could have the best darn blog in the universe, but unless you link to bigger bloggers, you are …

It is 7:30 AM on a Saturday and why am I awake? Oh well. Got the coffee, got my computer and am watching “Chulo the Stupor dog” chase Lovebugs. He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he wakes up every day wagging his tail, ready to conquer the back yard and …
