Word on the street has it that this Cinderella will be attending a ball in 2 weeks. Stay tuned… I have been scouring the web all last night figuring out how big a deal Mardi Gras Balls are – HUGE DEAL!!! I have Prince Charming, a mini van for a carriage, now all I need …
Hubby sent me one of those, “you know you are born n’ bread in LA if,”e-mails this morning. I really am completely clueless. And for the record – gold green & purple aren’t that bad together!
Wednesday is hubby’s “late day” at work – another excuse not to cook. I have been eying this little strip mall sign almost directly across the street. I loaded the kids in the car & sent son#1 in to get the menu & then I would go get some cash & make some dinner decisions. …
I just drove child #2 to school after his morning of a “pretend stomach ache” to avoid who knows what from his new school. I decided to drive by the neighborhoods in Old Mandeville where I truly wanted to buy a house. We were considering a house 4 blocks back from the Lake that did …
