Last post until January 4th (probably)

THANKS to each and every one of my readers and new friends who has welcomed me into my new state and made me feel at home. We have found our forever spot and couldn’t be happier (mom & dad – time to move here). Writing positive things to my audience each and every day has [...]

Jindal sticker saves the day

This little story was too good not to share. So here goes: I had just finished shopping at Rouse’s with my 3 little monsters. They are all lucky I didn’t strap them to the roof on the way home (a whole 2 miles), because they were just miserable (who invented this school vacation stuff?). We [...]

Pollyanna – insult or compliment?

As you now know, the Princess of Positive (yours truly), is an eternal optimist. You want to know my biggest flaw? Well, I’ll tell you anyways. I think all people are good and nice and kind unless they prove otherwise. D’oh! I’ve been called Pollyanna and have never been sure if that is good or [...]

Greta does “La Provence”

Who invented this fine dining idea? Guess there is more to life than Sonic and dry cereal (my cooking disability always gets in the way)? Last night, yours truly, hubby’s 2 “old” (evil laugh inserted here) Army buddies and their better halves rocked La Provence in Lacombe. Who wouldtahunk there would be such an amazing [...]

Wednesday Jambalaya

Oh barnacles – looks like Gremlins took the post that I worked a whole hour on last night!!!!GRRRRR! I’ll fix this up for you later – promise. Hate when that happens! ***Hubby is currently nursing his Wii injury! *** My neighbor Nick, taught me all about the Cajun Chandelier process. I want to make one [...]

Ask not what your country can do for you…

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. ~John F. Kennedy speech excerpt~ One of [...]

Red bathrobe lady is ruining my week

My week isn’t really ruined from this, but it sounded like a good post title. I’m the freaking Princess of Positive fercryingoutloud. But, once again, the “poor and homeless” situation in New Orleans is disgracing our great state in the public eye. I’ve been well embedded into the internet for over 3 years and know [...]

All I want for Christmas is…

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). [...]

How to survive school Christmas parties

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). [...]

More freaking holiday cheer

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 [...]
