I have not been at this blog forever but something really freaky just happened:
I have been trying to sell Ashley's Rhodes piano for almost a year (on and off). A few people came but nobody could find the cables for it so they did not buy it.
Now - Ashley, as [...]
I know a bit confusing.
We went to a farm today. It is only about 15 min by bus and they have riding horses, a cow, some sheep, and goats. And a cherry orchard where you can freely pick as many cherries as you can at at the spot. It is [...]Hi all,
So the Audubon Charter school closed till Thursday because of a confirmed case of the oink flu. That is all fine with me and especially with Annabel. Katerina is pissed off. She wants the swine flu in her school too.
At the same time, I am more worried about the virus [...]The storms - it is Ash being pissed he cannot drink with us tonight. I swear.
Not crazy but I just know. I have said this before but every time there is something big going on about him, there is a thunderstorm (fitting with his personality, btw). The night they brought his body [...]If anybody's looking for me today, I am in the 7th circle of hell. And if anybody wants to visit me, don't show up without a bottle.
Yeah, for the price of the ticket to do this thing, they really should give you Faberge.
A year ago we were at Cochon's having a great dinner. Ashley had to try their moonshine and in the process got his shirt wet (as usual :-)
Can someone explain to me what happened? Me and Ash came here, bought a house, became part of the community, settled down. Made a lot of friends, our kids made a lot of friends. It was HOME.
Then Ash died. It will be a year soon. People started to move away. [...]According to CNN, GOP leaders called many of the items on the stimulus bill wasteful. Among them are:
• $500 million for flood reduction projects on the Mississippi River.
• $200 million for public computer centers at community colleges.
• $6 billion to turn federal buildings into "green" buildings.
• $25 million for tribal [...]
Krewe of PAN was Ash's krewe and they are honoring him this year in a VERY special way. I am not sure if I can give more details so I won't but you have to see it this year.
So I am eating my homemade bread, drinking my morning coffee, reading the news. And I see this headline "Arctic thaw raises security concerns ". I thought Duh, welcome to global warming. Slightly pleased that even CNN noticed that flooded New York might become a problem, I opened the link. [...]
I guess a lot of us, who came here to help and repopulate the city after Katrina are beginning to second guess our naive optimism.
OK, Twitter for me was a Gustav related thing and I rarely put anything on it nowdays. That however, does not stop people I have never heard of from following me. But the best one was today: Rouses Market is following me on Twitter. I expect Winn Dixie and Walmart [...]
Or my laptop, or my address book, or the other million things I can't find anymore? Oh yeah, they must be in one of the piles of my possession in the girls room.
Hey!
Born in DeFuniak Springs, FL to a heroin addict mother and unknown father. Raised by used cars sales man and a alcoholic housewife. Pushed himself to earn PhD while living on instant noodles in a trailer without electricity.
Died of depression.OK, so it is 8:00 am. I am getting ready to take the kids to school, there is a bunch of kids on the street. Suddenly I hear this very, very loud popping sounds from the street. I thought someone was messing with fireworks. After the 10th pop, I got [...]
Resident Bush warned Americans
"entire economy is in danger"What an incredible insight. Did someone finally tell him? Stating the obvious in dramatic fashion 4 months after the fact... but then he does not read newspaper so this could be a news for him.
[...]http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2008/09/labruzzo_sterilization_plan_fi.html
So the man has been dreaming about this for years and years. He finally gets it and dies less than a year later. Timing. Don't put things off, I guess.
I have been trying to get car insurance for my deluxe, tricked-out mini van (yeah, right. Maybe if you consider the mixture of cheerios and chocolate milk a deluxe feature....).
If reading about signs irritates you, skip this. I know Ash would.
I HATE INSURANCE COMPANIES!!! I HATE INSURANCE COMPANIES!!! I HATE INSURANCE COMPANIES!!! I HATE INSURANCE COMPANIES!!! I HATE INSURANCE COMPANIES!!! I HATE INSURANCE COMPANIES!!!
I got no contact for you - not an email, not a phone number.
A) Gustav did not get us
B) Saints won the first gameC) Ike is going to visit HustonA) I honestly think and very much hope that it will go west and miss NOLA completely
From my screened porch!
Let me brag for a little while. Katerina placed 3rd in Louisiana Writes! contest in the K - 2nd grade section. She is so smart, winning awards at the young age of 6.
So the little princess is going to an Award party in B.R. in early October. All my genes [...]Thank you. All of you. Thank you for coming and being a NOLA family of bloggers, artists, musicians, and rollergirls.

Dirty Coast Press, The Rising [...]
This is an actual phone conversation I just had:
No ill will to anybody, hurricane is a bitch wherever it lands. Bertha, however, seems to be going north. Ashley was always saying that the assholes up north need to get some hurricane since after Katrina they were the know-it-all. He got in a fight with people in Chicago cafe [...]
Hola!
The Big Event for the Big Guy will be on Saturday July 26 at One Eyed Jacks.
Bilderberg meeting 2008 was attended by another Czech politician, Prince Karel Schwarzenberg (full name: Karl Johannes Nepomuk Josef Norbert Friedrich Antonius Wratislaw Mena von Schwarzenberg; they call him Karel for short). The Prince is a title, not a nickname.
Anyway, it is a huge news in Czech and we love conspiracy theories [...]Courtesy of Mr. Ray: Take your test
