I confess to lacking any instincts when it comes to reading people. My husband on the other hand, is usually right on the money. Over the years, my poor lack of judgment and maybe my internal belief or hope that all people are good has got me burned many times over. Thank goodness I have …
Let’s talk about Mandeville, St Tammany or anything local on your mind. ***This live blog will also appear on NOLA.com
Yeppers, enjoying my vacation bunches – thanks for asking. Destin is just fabulous with so much to do and everything is within a short drive or walk. We are experiencing a little jellyfish problem this week, but it isn’t ruining our vacation one bit. I’ve also had plenty of time to just sit and read …

As you all know by now, I am a beer drinker. Love wine, but am now allergic to the sulfites in it (yes I really loved wine – sniff sniff). I have never really got into the whole liquor scene, but once in a while have a Margarita or White Russian. I even stopped by …
businesses I have visited, people I have met, and events I have attended. I feel like I am sprinkling “positive” fairy dust around sometimes (at least in my own whacky imagination).

It can’t be – no really – this has to be a joke. Wednesday CAN NOT possibly be the last day of school this year! Bad enough that I had to suffer sit through every freaking right of passage, award ceremony and class party for the past 2 weeks – now for the grand finale …
