Appetite for Destruction

May 31, 2010

I’ve turned on the computer for the first time since Friday, and I came across this hilarious blog.  I just had to share.  It’s called Shit My Kids Ruined, and it made me laugh. A lot. And, it made me thank my lucky stars.  While I’ve lost a white shirt or two to my 2 [...]

The End Of An Era

May 28, 2010

After graduating from LSU, I moved to Dallas for a great job with a company called Nortel.  Truthfully, I’d never heard of them until I snagged the interview and then the job. To say it was a fantastic job and a great place to work would be an understatement.   My starting salary was about the [...]

State Of Origin

May 26, 2010

It’s billed as ‘State Against State, Mate Against Mate’. When club team mates become bitter inter-state rivals and week to week foes stand side by side in the trenches. The best of the best and the toughest of the tough. And it has been this way for thirty years (or so they tell me…..I have [...]

You’re “Ours”

May 24, 2010

Australia is very quick to claim any Australian who makes good on the international stage as “Ours”. For example, “Our” Nicole (Kidman) was pretty hard done by when she and Tom Cruise split up.  Instantly, an entire nation took sides in a celebrity divorce.  And, when “Our” Nicole married “Our” Keith (Urban), you would have [...]

Last night, a German medical student was minding his own business on a Sydney train when 3 thugs tried to mug him.  He refused to hand over this wallet, and the thugs followed him when he got off the train, cornered him in a dark alley, and started beating him up. But, unbeknownst to the [...]

First up, Brigid took us through a demonstration of how to make seafood paella.  She was very informative showing [...]

Pity Party

May 18, 2010

Today, I’m having a pity party. And, I’ve invited 3 of my closest friends to join me – dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. You see,  my mom has begun her long journey back to Baton Rouge today, and I am sad to see her go.  I will miss her.  My girls will miss [...]

I Feel Like Chicken Tonight, Like Chicken Tonight

May 16, 2010

Do you know that Chicken Tonight ad?  “I Feel Like Chicken Tonight, Like Chicken Tonight” with all the actors flapping their arms like a chicken while singing the song?  The song is really, really irritating, but it just gets stuck in my head.  Over and over, “I Feel Like Chicken Tonight, Like Chicken Tonight”.  And, [...]
