People often ask me how I manage to write a post each day. Now mind you, it is not required by NOLA.com. Our contract is that they will pay me the same amount of money whether I write 1 post a week or 7. My personal blog, well no requirements at all (I know the …
*** They are kind of cute, but next door to my house is home of the world’s meanest Chihuahua! He doesn’t say, “Yo quiero Taco Bell.” He says, “Yo quiero your limbs with a little hot sauce on them!” ***Last night I joined some friends and a few readers to live blog. I apologize if …
*** Go ahead and register for an e-mail reminder that American Idol is being live-blogged tonight by myself either on NOLA.com or Kiss My Gumbo. Joining me hosting this event will be Blue Star Chronicles Beth and Carol from The Median Sib. It is like a chat room but better. We promise to keep it …
Let’s talk shoe stores. If you are a woman, you love them – when you are ALONE. If you are a woman taking kids or a man shopping…it is equivalent to HELL! I have decided that shoe shopping with children is the single most miserable thing in the world! They should hand out freaking valium …
Our newest pal is the guy who is working on our house, Jim Richards of “Tile by Jim.” I would love him to be my “Eldin” (remember Murphy Brown’s housepainter), if we had that kind of money. Jim was painting our bedroom this morning and zipped out at his 12:30 PM deadline. A native of …

I won something and it means more to me than most awards we circulate in the world of blogging. It was given to me by an e-friend who owns the blog Conversations in Time. She has an amazing story, life and is truly a good soul. She is a 41 year old heterosexual woman who …
My name is Greta. “Hi Greta.” I turn 40 on March 16th and it has been 1 week since I last touched King Cake or beer. Hehehe – feeling silly at 2 AM. I missed the memo that most hysterectomy post-op patients also get INSOMNIA!!! Note to self, call for Ambien tomorrow. Too bad my …
This blog should be sponsored by Kleenex today (I’m here Kleenex-show me the money). I promise it won’t be a sad post, heck, I’m the Princess of Positive. But, I am one week one day post-hysterectomy now. My hormones are all over the graph! UGH!!!!! So here I am lying my butt on the couch …
We could solve all our homeless problems! Man Moves into IKEA Furniture Store While His Apartment is Fumigated, Mark Malkoff has Moved Into an IKEA Showroom BTW- I haven’t given up hope that we will someday get: Trader Joe’s, IKEA, Kohl’s and a Crate and Barrel!
Last year we moved to Louisiana just 2 weeks before Mardi Gras (and the kids had vacation too- geesh). All the festivities were celebrated in between unpacking boxes and learning our way around our new home. This year I am planning a little better! Do I need to remind you that Mardi Gras is right …
Who invented this fine dining idea? Guess there is more to life than Sonic and dry cereal (my cooking disability always gets in the way)? Last night, yours truly, hubby’s 2 “old” (evil laugh inserted here) Army buddies and their better halves rocked La Provence in Lacombe. Who wouldtahunk there would be such an amazing …

Hate when that happens! ***Hubby is currently nursing his Wii injury! *** My neighbor Nick, taught me all about the Cajun Chandelier process. I want to make one …
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). Jeff Blanco “blog greeted” me with open arms when I moved here this past year. He asked my to contribute on his site, and I eventually caved in. We’ve spoken …
