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 …

Sorry folks, I maxed out on “love week,” too many other things racing in my little brain (the hamster drank too much caffeine I think). I got my dozen roses, a cupcake from my daughter and kisses from the boys…what more could a girl want for Valentine’s Day? And to top it off, we are …

First off, thanks for being so patient. The past few days, KMG was experiencing some technical difficulties! YAY – they are all fixed now! I wish I could just walk around and pair up great people looking for love (no aspirations for a dating service – don’t worry). Besides, statistically, most people will meet on …

***My first single looking for love this week is… Susanna (pretty name), is 30 years young and a Northshore gal. She was born and raised on the South Shore and is a graduate of UNO. She is the proud mom of a 9yo who keeps her busy. She is open-minded, smart, enjoys bike riding, yoga, …

The smell of love is in the air at Kiss My Gumbo (Bogalusa has a stinky paper mill I sometimes smell). As many of you know, I am a very happily married woman for 13 years (together almost 16). Well, I figure I have a lot to be grateful for, even though hubby ruined my …

Dang, how did Valentine’s Day sneak up on us so fast? We just finished Mardi Gras, does anyone really care about it but Hallmark? Seems I only cared about Valentines’ Day when I was alone on it – it sucked. It seemed hubby was deployed or away most Valentine’s Day. However, he always sent me …

“I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.” ~Author Unknown~ Recently, I was at Walgreen’s picking up a prescription. My daughter was busy waving at the security screen in front of us, because, hey, she could be Hannah Montana for 5 seconds in her …

Let’s talk shoe stores. If you are a woman, you love them – when you are ALONE. If you are a woman taking kids or a man shopping…it is equivalent to HELL! I have decided that shoe shopping with children is the single most miserable thing in the world! They should hand out freaking valium …

Well, when you have your neighborhood Christmas party sponsored by Abita beer and Santa happens to be one of your favorite neighbors, who happens to be a plastic surgeon, you can imagine the requests. This is a long post for me – but worth the read!!! Let me back up here (tire screech sound effect). …

No sillies, no beer for school parties (but, boy, would it have been nice to have today). Remember, our kids are brainwashed to think alcohol is a drug after Red Ribbon Week (that is a whole other post). Today, all 3 rugmonsters had their school Christmas parties (they did the dreidels earlier in the week). …

Update: pictures and a summary of my WGSO experience. I’ll be spending my morning with Jeff Blanco & Jeff Crouere(that sounds pretty bad in writing). Jeff Blanco “blog greeted” me with open arms when I moved here this past year. He asked my to contribute on his site, and I eventually caved in. We’ve spoken …
