I took this picture at the UCM Museum – if you haven’t been -go! I need to edit it to include those pesky LOVEBUGS!!!!! DIE BUGS DIE!!!!!!! I lived in Florida for 5 years – I can’t say I missed these little car corroding nuisances! They made me lose money on my truck trade- in …
Well it is official, Ramon the Pool Boy & my fictitious maid have run off and have left me! And that stinking Laundry Fairy needs to shut off the TV – all she wants to do is watch her “stories” and eat bon-bons. Dang – good help is hard to find. And it ain’t like …
Hard to believe we have only lived here a little over 7 months now. I have soaked up the culture and traditions and love learning about them each and every day. Mind you, my only experience here before our move here was a drive through Hurricane at Pat O’Breins as I traveled cross-country. * Mardi …
OK – it is going to be a paraphrase because I can’t find the darn transcript on-line. I had Neil Cavuto on while I was scolding the Laundry Fairy today. He was interviewing, Kinky Friedman the Independent from Texas. Neil was asking him about the Presidential candidates. Kinky went through the list and actually made …
I think “they” is more elusive than the red-striped hiding Waldo. I mean, after 5 minutes of talking to my mom on the phone, I am pretty sure that I live in an Orwellian society with “theys” all around me. The press is having a field day pointing fingers to “they” and his brothers “them” …
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 …

Once upon a time there was a city filled with life and diversity. People were attracted to the city because it had opportunities. The people that settled there knew that they were vulnerable to nature’s elements, but they chose to live there anyways. They raised families, generation after generation and for the most part, all …
Like I’ve said before, if I had a dime for every time I hear the word “Katrina,” I’d be a mighty rich woman. Then again, if I played the Katrina drinking game – I’d be comatose! Beer dude where are you??? Maybe he will be hanging out with all the “look America I am a …
This post is in memory of our cat Goldie April 1994 – August 2007 Goldie was “everyone’s cat” and was as close to human as a cat could be. Nobody ever stepped foot in this house without having met Goldie. She had her own seat at the dinner table, spot on the couch and can …
I was leafing through the latest issue of Time at the Rouse’s checkout stand. Certainly there would be some breaking information about “Bat Boy†in it. I was very disappointed that he wasn’t featured in this issue, instead I found this great piece about New Orleans and the Corps of Engineers. Honestly, if someone gets …

New Orleans has been branded and it can’t get up! I couldn’t let this go….this fabulous morale booster and genius words of wisdom from the mouth Mayor Nagin . He talked about any image for NOLA being a good thing! So let me get this straight – any news for NOLA is good news? Murder …
Shhhhh….maybe I better stop telling everyone how great it is here. We enjoyed a fantabulous day on the Tchefuncte River and Lake Pontchatrain. For once we didn’t get pulled over on the water. Maybe we are “blending in” better!
I am up with a case of insomnia. Not really insomnia, but the dog was crying for a potty break and I am the one he can get up in the middle of the night. Then I realized I was hungry and fixed myself a snack, checked my e-mail and now am on the puter. …
Nah – never give up! I was on the NOLA.com crime forum this weekend, sharing my idea for my “citizen ambassador program.” I left with every ounce of positive energy completely sucked right out of me. I swear, some days I would give my life of domestic goddess up to step in and go for …
