What may seem depressing or even tragic to one person may seem like an absolute scream to another person, especially if he has had between four and seven beers. ~Dave Barry~ Yes, it is true, once in a while the Princess of Positive can get a little down. You know, that life stuff: father sick, …
listen Ya, My Cousin Vinnie – a classic. Now go around saying “yoots” all day. Oh wait, many people in Louisiana already say that (bwahahahaha). So Friday night I got a long overdue call from my good friend from Oklahoma. Her family moved away from Oklahoma 4 months after we did (us- January of 2007 …
Friday, I was driving home and listening to Shane Warner’s farewell radio show. He said he had 2 Saints tickets he wouldn’t be needing and to be the twelfth caller. I immediately speed-dialed and was one of the final 5 callers on hold. While I called, he decided he would hear the stories from each …

Wednesday night at our house is Kid Nation night (after homework, swim practice, getting ready for bed….). So, I am sitting around with my kiddos watching a group of kids try and campaign for their elections in Bonanza City. One kid despises the incumbent so much, he pulls the signs down with a pogo stick …
Now that I have your attention (evil laugh inserted here)! Chad, owner of The Dead Pelican and Roger’s Rants and I share opposing views on how we would run a political campaign (I’ll let you draw your own conclusion – lol).

Spent some $ this week and also saved some (hubby– I shop to save money – makes perfect sense). I am an internet junkie and could do all my business on-line – but who does it help or hurt? One of my personal missions when we decided to move to Louisiana was to do my …
Tonight, Sunday, #1 son and myself moseyed on over to downtown Covington to watch the student portion of the Ozone Film Festival. It rained on and off all day – so they moved it from the outdoor venue to The Green Room. I got myself an Abita seasonal and he got a root beer. We …

Well, not the true enemy, but the opposing team, the teams that aren’t a favorite of Louisiana. Below is a …
Tomorrow is our neighborhood yard sale. I can’t wait to unload all this useless crap bunch of treasures. If we haven’t used it since we got here – gone – outta here – bye-bye! I better hurry up and sell all the toys the kids ignore before we find out that they are coated in …
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 …

“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.” …
