As I read the Sunday Times-Picayune today (who doesn’t) and got to Chris Rose’s column – it made me pause and caused me some extra soul-searching this week. You see, no matter how much I write about my experiences over the past year and 5 months (wow – time flies) since my family moved to …

*** There will be another Kiss My Gumbo radio show this Saturday from 3:00-4:00 on AM 690 WIST with your hostess, me, The Princess of Positive. The first half hour will be spent with Captain Papillion (make sure the kiddos listen and call in with questions) (504)260-0690 and the second half hour of the show …

*** The House of Blues: I chaperoned a bunch of 6th graders to the House of Blues for a field trip. I was more excited than most of them because this was my first time there &… WOW! $12 for my kid (including bus cost) and $5 for me – this was soooo worth every …

Saturday was an absolute marathon day for the Princess of Positive. A baseball game for son #1, the premier of Kiss My Gumbo radio on AM 690 WIST, a wedding, the reception and…pirates on Bourbon Street. OK – Scout’s honor I am not making the pirate stuff up. And, fwiw (for what it’s worth), New …

* We arrived at 10:50 on Sunday and not a parking space in sight. The lots were full so I did the ole’ “Look kids… Big Ben, Jackson Square, Brewery” tour (ya, I was driving in circles like a complete moron)! The meter maids were out in full-force (they really should give it a rest …

* Last night we went to a farewell party for the Saint’s Special Team’s Coordinator, Coach John Bonamego. He is heading to the Dolphins this week for better opportunities. Yes, they play the Saints in pre-season and the Patriots twice next season (sorry John – we will be rooting against your new team). If you …

Yes, that is a question I received from a friend on Facebook (Greta Perry if you want to be my friend) last night. My Answer: “I am living Mardi Gras.” Unless you grew up here or lived here through Mardi Gras season (this is my second one), you really can’t grasp what it is (I …

D’uh, they are both interactive (I LIVE for comments-hint). Well readers, as you know (or you don’t and should read my archives), my parents are visiting from MA and they hey have never ever been to Mardi Gras before. So, I spent the day explaining (too freaking cold to go to a parade today) why …

Correction – our waitress’s name was Nikki (not Vikki) like my husband wrote down. Sorry girl! I learned something new today – Dom DeLuise is not the same person as as Chef Paul. Still the NKODB (new kid on the block) here..be patient with me! (Denise & Gasper Chifici left me & hubby right) The …

* Greta’s Guide to Holiday Shopping” has been updated and please don’t forget to shop my ads! I must say it is a pretty cool guide and no – nobody paid me to put them on it. * Tune in from 12:00- 1:00 today and listen to Andre Trevigne on 99.5 FM. I’ll be on …
