I drink a decent amount of wine. If you ask my husband, he’d probably say “excessive” amount, but whatever. So my friend Wendee and I have recently discovered the joys of box wine. There. It’s out. I buy box wine. I used to make fun of it, but they say it’s really getting better in [...]

I am way too excited about French Quarter Festival this weekend I think. Ya know, it’s not like anybody you really want to see is performing. I think I like that it’s got the “fest vibe”…the fest food (which really is my fav thing) and it’s not usually as hot as Jazzfest. (BTW, [...]

We’re trying to get the yard in shape at my house and it seems like I live in the middle of Wild Kingdom. I’m freaking out a little thinking about it now and I’m in my office. Just like every other house in the New Orleans area, we have lizards…but I think I [...]

I went to Austin for the weekend and we went to the movies twice.  Not because we even wanted to see any of the movies really, but because Austin is home to the best movie theater ever!  You so have got to make a trip just to go to the Alamo Drafthouse.  It’s like a [...]

This is a picture of my Valentine’s night.  Looks pretty romantic, right?  Flowers, wine, candy…but look closer.  The TV in the background has “Lipstick Jungle” on.  And there’s no husband in sight.  So here I am at 9:30 on Valentine’s night watching TV and drinking wine by myself.  Actually…kind of an average night.  :)   Anyway, [...]
