I prepared my longest post ever. Then broke it into three shorter posts. Then wasn’t satisfied at all. Then the Supreme Court ruled that we have a Constitutional personal right to bear arms. Then my head exploded. And I got political on twitter about local politics. Then a recording of one of those local politicians [...]
I am starting to feel a good bit better. Thanks, Katie, for all your e-mails of support and for everyone else’s comments and twitterings; it all really helped! Today I had the privilege of meeting Jane Moneypenny from Variety is the Spice. I don’t know how many of you have read this blog, but it’s [...]
CS and I are driving to Dallas today to visit family. I have been looking forward to this mini-vacation. But I got news last night that the place in Dallas that made the best Frito Burger I ever ate (ok, so it was the only Frito Burger I ever ate, but it was so good [...]
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 [...]
Also posted at Pontchartrain Pete. The NOLA bloggers have been doing great work covering the first weekend 2008 Jazz & Heritage Festival. Chronicling the rising prices, the food, the rain, the influx of tourists Foreigners taking over and most of all the music, NOLA bloggers have written of their experiences for all to read. We [...]

I am slowly coming around to feeling completely like myself. But my irritability is still high, a sure sign I am not myself. Here’s two examples. The cat. Peanut has been using our bathroom floor as, well, toilet paper. Don’t know why. Just know that I walk in to the bathroom to brush my teeth [...]
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 [...]
First, some background. For those who are not in the know, Blog Net News (BNN) is a site that aggregates blogs by category and by major cities. My blog is listed under Blog Net News–New Orleans. The owner of this site is Dave Mastio. The local editor is Greta Perry. Now, BNN has been getting [...]
I have recently found myself a bit addicted to Twitter. And I am now following many other New Orleanians. There is something even more intriguing about following the (mostly) silly details of a person’s day when that person is in your city–eating where you eat, enjoying (or not) the same weather, lamenting the same local [...]
