* I want this sooooo bad I am frothing at the mouth! * Don’t make me photoshop this Louisiana. Can you guess where I am going with this one? * Harry Potter was awesome on IMAX * 3 more days until vacation. What the heck was I thinking – sure – I’ve been home all …
No sillies – not evacuation buses. I have been working hard to make things happen – but at the same time – the opportunities in Louisiana seem endless! I have been on a good luck streak since we moved here in January and hope it never ends. Ya- S*%T happens – and it will -but …
Last I left you…you were staring at your computer monitor (and here you are again – predictability is good). You were saying to yourself, “forget soap operas, Kiss my Gumbo” is much more entertaining. I have to read KMG to see how Greta is going to move the “proverbial Louisiana mountains.” Not so fast…I can’t …
Back in college, I had to sign up for one of those “mandatory/voluntary†psychology experiments. You know, the one where you had to do some useless study that some other college kid had to perform that would solve all questions about how strange college students were (big run-on sentence). To make a long story longer…I …
Father’s Day finally came and I could finally unveil the painting I had purchased hubby over a month ago (hiding in a closet). I met Mr. Goodwyne when I stopped in to visit the Inside Northside office. He will be the featured artist for the July/August issue and he had some of his work with …
What can I say – but that was the best $2 (with coupon) I have spent in a long time. We had a blast at the UCM Museum (5 miles North of I-12) in Abita Springs . The curator, John Preble couldn’t be nicer and more patient as the 6 kids poked around his gift …
Get those US flags waving!!! And a very Hooah Birthday to the Army today – celebrating 232 years! If your flag is tattered – here is a list of proper procedures and suggestions to dispose of the old ones!
I fess up, I have 3 kids well out of diapers & never heard of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. That is…until the other night at #1 son’s baseball game. I’m chatting away and somehow the subject of this miracle potion comes up. I can’t stop laughing at the name and even better…laughing at all the things …
I have a folder on my desktop called “cool stuff for blogs.” Usually people send me stuff, but sometimes I surf for fun and find them. I was in Cafe Press, surfing for New Orleans stuff and came across this: And get this…it was designed by someone who calls themselves “The Anti-Northshore Alliance.” Puhleeze! I …
Thought I’d introduce you to another artist whose work I really enjoy. His name is Matt Rinard (no- I never met him) and his gallery can be found at 738 Royal Street. I can go in there and laugh for hours – my kids can too. After seeing the picture on the top, I am …
When we moved to Mandeville, for the first time we didn’t have to search for a dry cleaners that pressed BDUs (fatigues to the rest of the world). After trying a few, we stumbled upon Premier Cleaners aka $1.89. We are very happy with the service and the price. It is a mom and pop …
Negative PR, murders, corruption, another hurricane season, Nagin, Jefferson, Blanco…need I say more? Honestly, Louisiana is taking a beating in the PR war. I have officially decided (like that makes a difference) that Louisiana needs to take the “car salesman” approach (no offense if you sell cars – hey everyone has to make a living). …
Yesterday was a field day for “armchair mayors” discussing the Mayor’s speech. Whateva… It is so much easier to stand in the sidelines and say what you woulda done or said better, but fun to pick it apart (fess up …you know it is). I’ve heard so many dollar figures bounced around this week that …
I started to wonder what the “Picayune” in the Times-Picayune meant. It seems like there are so many unique words to the area, I don’t dare take a stab at it. Of course my kids call it the “Times-Pick your nose.” Other creative ways it can be used: “What in the Picayune are you doing …
Remember that “your chocolate is in my peanut butter” commercial? Get your mind out of the gutter – because that is what I was referring to with the title! The Perry family launched the “Kiss My Gumbo” (formerly “Kitty Dreams”) at the Madisonville ramp, for the first time since we moved to LA. The lake …
