Here is the post I put on my personal Facebook account a couple of weeks ago: Confession: I mainly stick to mindless Bravo TV. Looking for an on-demand or Netflix series to watch. The last one I really watched was the Sopranos. I saw a few Mad Men and some Dr. Who too. If my …
I have played disc golf or frisbee golf, several times in my adult life. My kids always (or so I like to think), enjoy how my hubby and constantly joke with each other, especially making Seinfeld references. The poor kids grew up knowing about FROLF, but thinking it was as real as unicorns. Recently, I’ve …
Holy King Cake – there is a new “military” Mardi Gras Krewe in town, named Legion of Mars. They are set to roll in 2015, but you can get involved now. If you have been following along here, or with my other blog Hooah Wife, you will know that I am usually quite involved (more …

I am proud to be a mentor for Mandeville High School’s FIRST Robotics Team 2992, the SS Prometheus. Young kids are our future and I’m all about supporting the fields of Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM). Though I am horrible at science, engineering and math, there is room for me as FIRST mentor in …
Having Roger Staubach sign his autograph along with “Go Army,” sure would have been a priceless Army Navy game weapon. Unfortunately, we did not score that. My hubby and I were guests of USAA during their #nflsalute game in New Orleans this year. During the pre-game, Roger Staubach, hubby’s hero from when he was a …
Ya…the irony of me cooking red beans…I’m a transplanted Yankee living in the south, vegetarian, Jewish woman cooking this meal. Our guests are soon to arrive from Georgia and this is dinner for tonight. One of them is actually originally from New Orleans and over the summer I made red beans and rice and he …
Not sure what makes it more real, ordering the official Senior year pictures today or seeing him off on the bus for his last Cross Country meet as a senior. Either way, my first born, Drew, is on his way to leaving the nest. This time next year, he will be away at Ole Miss …
Last night, I was invited to “Drinks with Bob Cerasoli,” along with a select group of people. This gathering took place because they were in New Orleans for an Inspector General’s conference. I love my crazy life and all the unique relationships I’ve had the pleasure and opportunity to make along the way. Bob and I …
Last week, I posted the following status on my Facebook regarding “annoying sayings:” The answers were flippin’ hysterical. so I had to share!!! I removed names to protect the innocent LOL! “Ive been knowing him….” the one phrase I draw blood as I bite my tongue so hard, refraining from correcting. What phrase is your trigger …

I Have a Profile! Once again my Infiniti ended up in the shop and the laughs with my husband began. Why? Because we always joke that I have a profile there, like Elaine did in Seinfeld’s “The Package” episode. She finds out that her chart has “a difficult patient” written on it and will go …
This year, I wrote about the awesome experience I was privileged to be part of, escorting my WWII friend, Sir JJ Witmeyer, to the Kentucky Derby race. You can read about that here. The owner of the horse, Normandy Invasion, Rick Porter of Fox Hill Farm did another amazing thing after the Derby. Rick named …
With Top Chef taking place in New Orleans this season, everyone in the country seems to be talking about New Orleans food. This Infographic (see below) which is a Louisiana food primer, appeared yesterday on my Facebook timeline (thanks Wendy). It was something I “simply had to post” on my blog while chiming in my …
We had a crazy summer, driving over 2500 miles for my son to visit colleges on his list. The third school he visited was Ole Miss (University of Mississippi). We then went on to visit many more and this school consistently stayed at the top of the list! He was sucked in by just about …
I’ve been involved in some sort of volunteer military support, since I met my husband 21 years ago. Some of it has been through positions, while much of it takes place behind the scenes. Though I’ve come to love my support roles behind the scenes, I was honored to be asked to sit on the …

Back in March of 2013, Southwest began their direct flight service from New Orleans (MSY) to Key West (EYW). My hubby has always been a huge fan of Key West, where I have only been there for a day trip as I’ve spent a lot of time in Islamorada. He has been wanting to go …
