I never did the sorority thing, but as I’ve gotten older and wiser, I realize that other women can truly compliment your life. I hang with my on-line girls every day, called the Cotillion. We are the best and brightest bloggers in the blogosphere and it is invite only. We have quite a blogroll and [...]

Dang, somehow by not growing up here, I missed the class in “Parade Strategizing 101.” My best edumacated guess right now is that you want to get somewhere not so crowded so your kids can get a good spot to catch stuff! Then again, you need them front and center to make “eye contact” with [...]

Sometimes I think Chris Rose channels me (lol) (maybe one of these days he’ll even say hello to me). He knew I was going to write about the Hornets today or tomorrow and beat me to the punch. But hey, can there be too much of a media barrage for anything (unless your last name [...]

Chad, the owner of The Dead Pelican was kind enough to give me some linky love. Thank you for stopping by and I would love to have you subscribe (in the right hand column) to Kiss My Gumbo each day. I write almost every single day and I am eclectic, but sure to entertain you! [...]

Well, not exactly, but I liked the title and I’m sticking with it! We attended the Krewe of Eve (the women’s parade) parade in Mandeville last night. How many “throws” can one family accumulate over a month? Well, a ton, and very little of it is edible (like a fruitcake). We brought two rolling suitcases [...]

* Last night we went to a farewell party for the Saint’s Special Team’s Coordinator, Coach John Bonamego. He is heading to the Dolphins this week for better opportunities. Yes, they play the Saints in pre-season and the Patriots twice next season (sorry John - we will be rooting against your new team). If you [...]

(click all pictures to make bigger) I have been going to military balls for the past 15 years and understand all the intricacies, traditions and formalities that are unique to them (party shirt, punch ceremonies, loading your purse with things before you go so you can win stuff etc…). This Mardi Gras ball thing [...]

I have to admit it, I am a sucker for animals. I have waited all year to attend Barkus again. It takes place at Sunday at 2:00. Unfortunately, Chulo the Stupor Dog won’t be able to attend (they only allow dogs that aren’t psychotic).

If you want to meet [...]

Yes, that is a question I received from a friend on Facebook (Greta Perry if you want to be my friend) last night.
My Answer: “I am living Mardi Gras.”
Unless you grew up here or lived here through Mardi Gras season (this is my second one), you really can’t grasp what it is (I learn something [...]
