Go ahead - I dare you - figure out how many books you have read and recall the names of them. Either way, it is fun!
Now to have my 11 year old start his own. I’m still adding as I recall! Bad Indian Chris for starting me on this!

Memes are little things that come around on the web that are like a bad cough that you share with your friends because you refuse to cover your mouth. Kind of like chain letters of modern day. I think I personally own the record for chain letter breaking. Yes, I even broke the children’s sticker [...]

Sunday AM started bright and early in Pasadena. I attended a fabulous lunch at 7:15 AM with some gret e-friends (who I met in person for the first time). They drove me to LAX and dropped me off at 10AM or my 11:45 flight after a delicious California breakfast. What could possibly go wrong? GRRRR! [...]

I know my readers (from Kiss My Gumbo) expect a daily dose of humor, snark and positive. After all, I am the self-proclaimed “Princess of Positive.” This weekend I would like to take the opportunity to encourage and inspire you to do more as an American than wonder about that missing yellow ribbon magnet that [...]

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 - [...]

I am writing to you this AM (real early) from MSY - Louis Armstrong International Airport. How does the MSY abbreviation come out of New Orleans (though it is in Kenner) and Louis Armstrong? According to Skygod, MSY is the former Moisant Stock Yards in New Orleans. Now what the heck was Moisant Stock Yards? [...]

GRRRRRR!!!! Yours truly has been going through all her paperwork to get ready to do taxes. 2007 is the very first year in 11 whole years that I had any income (and it wasn’t much - but something). Taxes are a PITA. I am not spouting politics or anything, but just putting something into your [...]

“Santa” bought Princess Whinalot (my 7 yo) Petite Rouge for Christmas. If you haven’t guessed what the book is about, go drink more coffee…lol…Cajun Red Riding Hood of course. Somehow I hadn’t been asked to read this book to her until last night when I was good and tired.
A year ago, I would never have [...]
