Halloween will be here before long

Living in New Orleans, we don’t really need a reason to dress up in a costume to celebrate.  It’s common place here as many of you know.  But since Halloween will be here before you know it, I thought I might let you in on something really neat I found.  Halloween is not just for children.  Adults like to dress up too you know.  Well I found some plus size costumes that look great.  Not everyone is a size ‘nothing’ you know and at least this site realizes that and helps us full figured girls out.

Everyone knows one of the most fun parts of dressing up for a celebration like Halloween, is getting to wear wigs .  You can be anyone you want with a wig on.  I have always wanted long blond hair even though my hair is almost black and you can even find a long blond wig on here.  Really I have always wanted to dress as Lady Godiva but that wouldn’t work at my age.  I’ll just have to stick with Marilyn Monroe or Mortisha is more like it in all reality.  Okay, I’ll come clean, Grandma-ma from the Adams family is more like what I would look like today but that’s okay.  I can still enjoy the costumes.

It’s almost September!!

Holy cow, I just realized that it’s almost September.  Before you know it, Christmas will be here again.  I better start looking for photo Christmas cards because I always send them out to my family, friends and favorite customers.  That’s the good thing about the Internet, you don’t have to wait until a certain time to start looking for seasonal things like Christmas Cards.  I love the selection they have at this company.  You are more likely to find something you really like here than any other web site I have found.  In fact, if you know of a better one, let me know.  The hard part for me is narrowing it down to just one style and one picture.

You gotta love these kids

I swear I have never seen so much Bling Bling as they call it as I have this summer with this group of college kids.  I had to ask one of them where they find jewelry like that and they told me that they found it on the Internet.  It seems this one company has been around for quite some time and is responsible for a lot of the ‘Bling’ we are seeing most everywhere now since they were the pioneers to begin with.

Well I guess it’s almost that time

College aged kids are everywhere lately so I’m guessing it’s almost time to head back to school.  Our kids go back soon too and you can always tell when it’s that time because of all of the college kids around here.  I really enjoy having them around as long as they don’t get too rowdy.

Here’s to all of the Marines I know

I’m not sure how it happened but I have several friends that are either in the Marine Corps or were in the Marine Corps.  Well on this Memorial Day weekend, I just wanted to let all of the know just how much I appreciate all that they have done to give us and help us to keep the freedoms their brothers before them fought so hard to give us.  So from me to all of you guys, Simper Fi and Thank you for everything.  There is not a more handsome Marine than a Marine in his dress blues!!!

Best Mardi Gras in a long time

Well this year has been about the best Mardi Gras we have had in a long time.  It was wonderful seeing all of the people coming back to New Orleans.  I guess people are finally ready to start coming back like they used to.  I can’t say as I blame them for staying away like they did.  Heck we lost a lot of locals with the mess we went through but the celebration is back.

Just look at all of the wonderful people with their smiling faces enjoying Mardi Gras like they used to.  I must say it has brought a smile to my heart to see them come back again.

I have a birthday coming

Some of my friends want to throw me a birthday party to celebrate my……………..well my birthday.  A southern lady never tells her age.  I’ll just say I have been around the block a couple of times and seen the top of the hill.  How’s that?

Anyway, they were wanting to do a theme type birthday party.  You know how much we love throwing theme parties in New Orleans so it shouldn’t be a surprise that they want a theme birthday party for me.  I love the 60’s and should have been a flower child but we won’t talk anymore about that.  That’s what would make the perfect theme for a birthday party for me.

The girls could all dress in long dresses with flowers in their hair and the guys wear old torn jeans with army jackets and those great loose fitting shirts they used to wear back then.  The music, well it has to be the psychedelic music from then like the Iron Butterfly and Cream………….all those great songs, Jefferson Airplanes ‘White Rabbit’.  But NO DRUGS!!!!!!!!!

Valentines Day is coming!!

I don’t talk much about my personal life and I’m not about to start now.  My personal life is just that, personal but one thing I will tell you is I have hinted around about what I want for Valentines Day.  I always get what I want too, or I better!!

I love a good quality watch about as much as any jewelry I have.  This year, I do need a new watch too. Bulova watches have always been my favorite because of the quality. They last forever and look great too.  Even though I already have three of them, a lady just can’t have too many.  This is the one I want Sugar!!

Happy New Year one and all

Well we all made it through another year.  Now I can hardly wait to see what this new year brings.  Last year was hard on a lot of people.  The new president has a tough job ahead of him but so far, he’s choosing some really good people to help him lead the country out of the mess we’re in.  I sure hope he can anyway.

I feel that it’s time to bring our soldiers and Marines home from Iraq.  We’re not doing much of anything but losing our people now.  They don’t want us there and a lot of us don’t want them there anymore either.  So hopefully the new president will bring them home.

Any time there is an election, there are promises made that they just may intend to follow through on but for one reason or another, they can’t fulfil each campaign promise no matter how hard they try.  Well as long as they at least fulfil most of them, I’m happy I guess.  I have enough to worry about in my own little corner of this world to try and fix the world.  It ain’t gonna happen.  Well I just wanted to wish each and everyone of you a very HAPPY AND PEACEFUL NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

New Years New Orleans style

Well if anyone knows how to throw a party, it’s New Orleans.  This year is gone and we are glad to see 2009 come.  The economy has made it even harder for a lot of our people to continue to fight to recover from the mess we all found ourselves in but the spirit of New Orleans won’t let any of us down.

There are lots of celebrities that are helping to rebuild or just homes for our people and we’re all out there fighting side by side.  Every new year means the old one is behind us and we’re still moving forward.  Slowly but surely, all of the rebuilding and building will be done and we will shine once again like the new years fireworks.  Here’s wishing nothing but blessing for everyone for the New Year!!
