Captain Sarcastic is many things. For one thing, he is good at getting the latest gotta-have electronic item. Today, he asked me to help him unload the car. I assumed there were groceries. I was wrong. Wii Fit was sitting in the back of the car. So, after determining that I am overweight (not a [...]
This weekend and next is The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. To many, this is THE festival of the year. It is certainly the biggest and most famous. My husband is one of those die-hard Jazz Festers. He has a brass pass and will be attending every day minus one due to work, six [...]
My funk is, finally, over. Over. OVER. O.V.E.R. And I hate to admit what it took, but I will It took a day completely, fully, wholly, unattached. Captain Sarcastic took Sun to Jazz Fest today, and because I had to work yesterday I was not in the office today. Ten plus hours of me-time! Ah, [...]
I had to pick Sun up from the Westbank today. Seems I am across the river often these days. Today I passed Mosca’s twice. Once was hard, twice was really hard. Especially because YatPundit kept twittering about how he had cooked Mosca’s Chicken a la Grande last night. Over dinner, I mentioned Mosca’s, planning a [...]
When I was younger, I believed all the songs I’d heard about love, about it being all you need and it keeping couples together, that it was the be-all and end-all. Then I fell in love and learned love was not all you needed. That love can hurt and make you go down roads you [...]
After a big excursion, be it a vacation or Mardi Gras, or in this case, two solid days of French Quarter Fest, I am always left blue. Add to that the very little sleep I got last night (we are attempting to use the Ferber method to get Sun to omit that 3am bottle-feeding) coupled [...]
Day 2 of 2008 FQF is in the bag for me. It was a fun two days, and I doubt I’ll make it back out tomorrow. This Fest has been my best yet. It started for me the best way it could, at Napoleon House: Isn’t their courtyard awesome? and here’s my FAVORITE summertime cocktail, [...]
New Orleans is a very Catholic city. Here’s a little tale to show you just how Catholic it is. CS isn’t much on religious formalities. So when he went to Liuzza’s in Mid-City a few years ago on a Friday during Lent and ordered a hamburger, it wasn’t a big deal to him. It was [...]

Wendy previously described how her Wednesdays are bat shit crazy. I have to agree with her. Wednesday mornings arrive like a freight train–fast and rumbling. I always oversleep and JUMP out of bed realizing I have no more than 30 minutes to get out the house. I shower at night, so at least that task [...]
