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 …

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 …

This cool coffee art is painted by local artist Richard Lewis. He calls his art Caribbean Primitive/Pop. This picture is titled “Cafe’ au Lait and Beignets.” This picture is enough to brighten up anyone’s day. Honey – another hint of a picture I would really like!!! The coolest thing about having a blog, is meeting …

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 …

My fantabulous Lakewood Heights(awesome website) neighborhood in Mandeville of about 120 homes, had at …

Funny, I was going to write about Craigslist (Hi Craig – yes, he is a real person-we’ve e-mailed) and up pops the news and….. another Craigslist prostitution arrest – this one, 2 sisters in Slidell, Louisiana. I hate to laugh, but I can’t stop – I am easily amused by stupid people! Yes, these sisters …

It is 7:30 AM on a Saturday and why am I awake? Oh well. Got the coffee, got my computer and am watching “Chulo the Stupor dog” chase Lovebugs. He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he wakes up every day wagging his tail, ready to conquer the back yard and …

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 …

* 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 …
