* 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 linky love (he said he would mention me in his Wed. flyer – hint) – lord knows I need it! (this is where you click the left sidebar and register for free Kiss My Gumbo in your box each day – what a bahgin= bargain – that was my Boston accent coming out in writing)
* I scored some Webkinz animals and charm necklace today at Playville. Still didn’t score the koala yet for myself er…I mean my daughter
* About Face in Mandeville is booming with business and I refreshed my Bare Minerals supply there
* visited Michaels & TJ Maxx today for quick and direct shopping – stick to the list Greta & I must say I did pretty well (#1 son got socks)!
* bought Abita Pecan Harvest Ale today- now trying it for the first time and….yum (will this make me nuttier?)!!!!
* for the first time ever – I saw pictures of my daughter before 16 months (when we got her as a foster child). Her birth family was nice enough to send them on as she needed one for a class project
* I didn’t achieve world domination today – too much laundry & gardening in the sweltering sauna (maybe lost a pound or 2), but there is always tomorrow
* I love Rouse’s – get my sushi & groceries and home in a jiffy (before it spoils from the heat – 2 miles and it is still OK LOL)
* walked into PAC for the first time ever to sign my son up for the seasonal swim team – maybe when I make a little more cash – I can justify a membership! Gotta get rid of the Abita flab
* stopped into Premier Dry Cleaners today and got a smile from Cindy at the counter – she is a doll. Tell her Greta sent you. They are upping their prices from $1.89 a garment to $1.99 -on Sept 1- well worth it – they do an awesome job!
* Ramon the pool boy & the maid are really ticking me off these days – I think they are having a fling and can’t seem to get the work done (yes – I am dreaming that they even exist)
* make me an ad offer I can’t refuse – barter is a wonderful thing too – did I mention I am available for organizing your home and freelance writing too? 11 years as a SAHM (stay at home mom) – it is about time I put all that college edumacation to good use and actually make some $ because I sure don’t mind spending it:)
* went into Lighting Inc today and poked around. I thought the prices were very reasonable. Dang – lighting is so expensive!
* gotta finish up my beer and get some shut-eye as tomorrow I will strive again to achieve world domination or at least catch up with my laundry!
