My week isn’t really ruined from this, but it sounded like a good post title. I’m the freaking Princess of Positive fercryingoutloud. But, once again, the “poor and homeless” situation in New Orleans is disgracing our great state in the public eye. I’ve been well embedded into the internet for over 3 years and know …
Update: pictures and a summary of my WGSO experience. I’ll be spending my morning with Jeff Blanco & Jeff Crouere(that sounds pretty bad in writing).

Not really – but what a headline – huh??? The scary thing is…the same psycho moms who would have sold a body part for a Wii (I only stooped to the level of considering flashing my post child breastesess to the UPS dude- doubt that would have worked) are now considering this tactic after reading …

*******Don’t forget to check out my holiday shopping guide!!!*********** Dear Princess of Positive, My husband has been offered a great job opportunity in New Orleans. I keep hearing the crime and bad stuff in the news and am hesitant to even consider this move. We have small children and I would hate to bring them …
I have never seen a public official as invisible as Mayor Ray Nagin. I have a cat that hides 99% of her life and she is more visible than him. Not talking politics here, just about doing what is expected for YOUR JOB!!! I had my Okie Indian (we are not PC here) pal photoshop …
