* Peanut (Nutter, The Nut) – this 3 pound virtually brain dead (born 2-4 hours after the litter depending on who you ask) cat who the kids carry around like a doll, wouldn’t put her foot down on Friday. So I quickly put her in her carrier & took her to the vet. Immediately, she …
UPDATE – thanks for all the Weblog Award votes. No I didn’t win, but I am sure the reason is because all of you were voting at the same time and that is what crashed their site (lol). Thanks for supporting me! * I’ve come up with a great list of holiday ideas from local …
Did you ever go to a restaurant that has too many options and it takes you way too long to decide? You almost get annoyed because you can’t make up your mind. Then the waitress comes around to take orders and you ask to go last because you are still looking. I’ve decided that this …
Update: Friday 1:00 I called the Registrar Of Voters in Covington – early voting is today until 4:30 and Saturday 8:30-4:30. I asked for explanations about the 4 Constitutional Amendments and was given this website and someone please dumb this down for me. As for the 4 Parish ballot yes & no – I was …
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 …
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.” …
A reader and friend of mine (Mena) recently sent me some e-mails that were post-worthy. She gave me her permission to post it. Gosh, I need to stop thinking of life in “posts.” Positive thoughts are contagious! BTW(by the way) – It is Sept 30th, I am sitting in my backyard writing this, in my …
Now that I have your attention (evil laugh inserted here), let’s talk about shameless self-promotion. A blogger (which is what I am) calls it link-blegging, a writer (Chris Rose) calls it being smart. To a blogger, you could have the best darn blog in the universe, but unless you link to bigger bloggers, you are …

Oh gee, where is Dick Clarke when you need him? Do we need to have a ball drop each Katrina Anniversary? Since everyone and their grandmother who thinks they are somebody special will be in town, maybe good ole’ Dick can make a party out of it – New Orleans style. I can see it …

* welcome LaFete News readers and if you don’t know what the heck I am talking about – click because my Absolut New Orleans & V8 colada splash “Mandeville Medley” drink set the bar (pun intended) real high. I can’t wait to see what drinks and names others come up with! Thanks Frank for the …

The title alone is a little overwhelming, even for me. I guess you can see where I am going with this. Gosh, I am not good at tackling serious subjects. I mean, I get them, have lived through them, surrounded myself with tons of friends, increasing the likelihood one would have a serious problem – …
Last week I had a long talk with my “boss” (hey Jon Donley) at NOLA.com. Actually, I am only a freelance blogger for them, but hey – that is pretty cool! I get to say I am a “Professional Blogger.” We talked a bunch about agendas: NOLA.com, journalism in general, politicians, bloggers & my agenda. …
Of course you do is the appropriate answer. And since your passport isn’t ready and Priceline doesn’t have great deals on plane tickets to Afghanistan, I have a better way for you to “virtually” be a part of this!!! Let me explain – Sunday morning, I get up (no hangover – yay), insert the coffee …

OMG ROTFL – for those of you non-geeks OMG = Oh my gosh ROTFL= rolling on the floor laughing. Anyhoo, I get the mail today and start skimming through a small locally run paper with a few articles & ads called Southern Homestead: Northshore Edition , because – you never know what you will find. …
