I want to begin my post (a column for the internet that does not go into print and allows comments with the reader and author – that is my definition) by saying that I am humbled and honored to have my blog read by anyone! Kiss My Gumbo is a fun blog and will continue …

Traveling from New Orleans to Boston today was problem free. A mild inconvenience in Charlotte, which if I chose to get bumped, we would have ended up with 4 free tix. But you know the deal, the next flight will be delayed and the luggage would be lost (with our jackets) – so…NO DEAL (but …

Is nothing sacred anymore? Enough already! Yes, I have one and I don’t feel the need to talk about it! And for the record, it has gone through 2 births and recently had a hysterectomy. But I am still not talking about it like it is my God-given responsibility on this planet. And here I …

* A successful Soldier’s Angels fundraiser last night!!! Big sloppy puppy kisses to all who came out in the lousy weather! I will have pictures up at Soldiers Angels LA after I IV my coffee. So you say you couldn’t attend and still want to give…no problem. I will gladly accept any donations and even …

OK – Kiss My Gumbo is a lighthearted blog, a bunch of fun, eclectic and upbeat. Hey, I’m the freaking Princess of Positive…right? I spew my politics elsewhere, yes I do have some strong opinions, but am very fair and play politics nicely and you’d have to go find that stuff (not too hard if …

Never mind the mommy and domestic goddess responsibilities. The Princess of Positive has a very full schedule the next few days and hopefully I will see some of you at the events (still waiting for my new custom tiara and when I get it – you won’t be able to miss me). * Thursday March …

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 …

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? …

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 …
