“Opportunity makes a thief.” ~Francis Bacon~ “If you ever have to steal money from your kid, and later on he discovers it’s gone, I think a good thing to do is to blame it on Santa Claus†~Jack Handy~ Disturbed was an understatement for how I felt when I read yesterday that the “Toys for …
Gosh I slept like a little baby last night. Yep, sat on the couch eating bonbons yesterday and watching my stories all day(bwahahaha). Well, we went to the zoo yesterday after about a 3 month break. If anyone could figure out how to duplicate yesterday’s weather and sell it, everyone would buy it! In other …
Last night our friends, Chat & Jen, who own Atmosphere Movers, invited us to go to the Castine Center with them. It was the Jr. League of Covington’s Spring Market Patron Party. My husband NEVER would have gone to one of these shopping events if it wasn’t under these circumstances (alcohol and men who weren’t …
Go ahead – I dare you – figure out how many books you have read and recall the names of them. Either way, it is fun! Now to have my 11 year old start his own. I’m still adding as I recall! Bad Indian Chris for starting me on this!
*** oops, looks like a technical error spoils the outcome of the 2008 Presidential election *** I think the kidnapping scammers were trying to get free books from Barnes & Nobles! Hellloooo…library is open! *** Dang pre-teen boys driving me nuts this week *** 17 more days until I turn 40 *** my big Soldiers’ …
Memes are little things that come around on the web that are like a bad cough that you share with your friends because you refuse to cover your mouth. Kind of like chain letters of modern day. I think I personally own the record for chain letter breaking. Yes, I even broke the children’s sticker …
Sunday AM started bright and early in Pasadena. I attended a fabulous lunch at 7:15 AM with some gret e-friends (who I met in person for the first time). They drove me to LAX and dropped me off at 10AM or my 11:45 flight after a delicious California breakfast. What could possibly go wrong? GRRRR! …
I know my readers (from Kiss My Gumbo) expect a daily dose of humor, snark and positive. After all, I am the self-proclaimed “Princess of Positive.” This weekend I would like to take the opportunity to encourage and inspire you to do more as an American than wonder about that missing yellow ribbon magnet that …
Dear Louisiana, Yesterday I flew into LAX for a Soldiers’ Angels conference. I probably should have flown into Burbank, but it is hard to beat a 4 hour direct flight. Somehow I got upgraded to the United “Super Economy” class (I feel guilty robbing someone in need of the extra 5″ leg room), but hey …
I am writing to you this AM (real early) from MSY – Louis Armstrong International Airport. How does the MSY abbreviation come out of New Orleans (though it is in Kenner) and Louis Armstrong? According to Skygod, MSY is the former Moisant Stock Yards in New Orleans. Now what the heck was Moisant Stock Yards? …
GRRRRRR!!!! Yours truly has been going through all her paperwork to get ready to do taxes. 2007 is the very first year in 11 whole years that I had any income (and it wasn’t much – but something). Taxes are a PITA. I am not spouting politics or anything, but just putting something into your …
“Santa” bought Princess Whinalot (my 7 yo) Petite Rouge for Christmas. If you haven’t guessed what the book is about, go drink more coffee…lol…Cajun Red Riding Hood of course. Somehow I hadn’t been asked to read this book to her until last night when I was good and tired. A year ago, I would never …
UPDATE: Apologies to Clifford from Red Stick Rant – he is not – I repeat – not a Yankee by birth. But, he did live there for a short time and he is a Red Sox fan! ***Monday is here and yes, I will do my “yay the kids are back in school dance.” ***What…March …
I am constantly re-evaluating my “plans.” When I found out we were moving to Louisiana just over a year ago, my plans for my future all fell into place within a couple of months. I jumped in feet first and so much has happened. Of course, the #1 thing is that my family is all …
My Jacques-Imo’s virginity was broken last night and I can’t wait to go back for more!!! If ever an atmosphere screamed “New Orleans, fun and eclectic,” this place is it all rolled into one. There is amazing artwork for sale on the walls and the lights, well, they were the ones made of Mardi Gras …
