It can’t be – no really – this has to be a joke. Wednesday CAN NOT possibly be the last day of school this year! Bad enough that I had to suffer sit through every freaking right of passage, award ceremony and class party for the past 2 weeks – now for the grand finale …
* Why do I ever use a self-checkout lane? I have a 75% chance of screwing something up and needing to deal with the supervisor. The supervisor scolded me at “the walmarts” today for not placing each item in a bag – you gotta be kidding me! Geesh – trying to save the Earth is …
The Princess of Positive (yours truly) spends a lot of time on the internet (probably too much – I confess). But, because of it, I have made friends all over the world that I may not have otherwise had the opportunity to meet (on-line and met many in person). My on-line persona is the very …

*** There will be another Kiss My Gumbo radio show this Saturday from 3:00-4:00 on AM 690 WIST with your hostess, me, The Princess of Positive. The first half hour will be spent with Captain Papillion (make sure the kiddos listen and call in with questions) (504)260-0690 and the second half hour of the show …
Now that I have your attention. Guys – please stay for this post too! This May is the first ever “Global Breast Cancer Early Detection Month.” It is initiated by the “Know Now Foundation.” Not sure if it is recognized by many, but who cares – nice initiative. Kind of nice that it falls in …
Well…not totally – but I’m trying to do my part. We can all agree to at least try…right? I certainly WILL NOT tackle the topic of global warming on this blog – I leave that to the experts (scientists, Al Gore, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Crichton – LOL). I admit that I kind of miss the …
Break out the bug spray!!! Skin so Soft…whatever (now I will be swarmed by Avon ladies – first one to contact me from Mandeville gets my business). I got this letter from Pelican Park (where my kids play sports) and wanted to share with y’all. Dear Park user, This email is a reminder to always …
* 6 1/2 days of school left – YIKES!!! * Captain Papillion will be a guest on my radio show this week. Please let the kids listen (now to tell my kids they can’t go to the studio)!!! Saturday on AM 690 WIST from 3:00-4:00. The second half of the show, I will have Stephanie …

“There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction†~John Fitzgerald Kennedy~ I brag about New Orleans and how much I love it here – every single day – I really do. It is my home. Yes, even though I …
Dear Princess of Positive, Why do you do it? Why do you continue to write almost every day? How do you stay motivated to write when you only get $200 a month for your NOLA.com posts and you actually pay to host your own blog? ~Ramon – your hot fictitious pool boy~ Dear Ramon, I …
I was told to stay in bed even though I wanted to get up this AM (what torture). The clanging of pans in the kitchen could have woken someone up from a freaking coma. There was coffee, scrambled eggs and raisin toast on a tray. I got handmade cards from each of the kiddos, 2 …
Well…what are you doing or buying for the mom in your life? And if you are a mom…what are you doing on Mother’s Day? I plan to spend the afternoon at the zoo and listen to Irma Thomas perform from 2:30 – 4 and just enjoy my family. Here is a real cheezy Mom video …
Listen up – New Orleans and the surrounding areas – time to help me out a bit and have some fun while you are at it. My personal mission is to make a difference in this city and – by-gosh – I am going to do it by yapping and writing (my 2 favorite things)! …
