Oh Where, Oh Where Could I Be?

October 25, 2011

I’m not here today, because I’m over here instead. That’s right, today marks my first ever guest post over at Snap Crackle Pop.  Y’all know how much I love to write about food, so when Jaclyn asked me to compare some Cajun’ness to some Aussie’ness, I knew just what to do. Let me present… (drum [...]

2 Years

October 24, 2011

This week I am celebrating my 2 year Blogiversary.  Yay!  It seems like only a few weeks ago that I nervously hit “Publish” on my first post.   Back in those days, my mom was the only reader.  Gradually, family, friends and many more people I’ve never actually met in person started tuning in.  Thank you [...]

English Mick, English

October 12, 2011

So, it’s football season over in the States, and for the first time in 10 years I am able to watch the regular season games of my beloved LSU Tigers.  To be honest, I did not realize just how much I missed LSU Football until I was watching the first game against Oregon at Cowboys [...]

The Week That Was

October 3, 2011

Forgive me, dear readers.  It has been a week since I was last here.  A long and busy week.  Here are few of the things I’ve been up to. 1. I’m officially 40.  Wow, that sounds old.  It doesn’t feel any older than 39, but they way it sounds… 2. I have spent the weekend [...]

High Heel

September 26, 2011

I was flying home from Melbourne after attending Blogopolis a few weeks ago, and while I was waiting for The Aussie to pick me up, I found this. It’s a shoe. A high heel. A black peep toe pump. Size 8. It was sitting right there next to the curb at the passenger pick up [...]

Fair Suck Of The Sav

September 19, 2011

Australian slang is full of bizarre sayings that sound like total nonsense, like “Fair Dinkum”.  One of my favorites is “Fair Suck Of The Sav”.  While it’s an older expression that I don’t hear too often, it never fails to make me laugh (not the intended response). “Fair suck of the sav” roughly translates as [...]

Bridges

September 15, 2011

I received a delightful old post card in the mail last week from an old friend depicting a picture of the Mississippi River Bridge in Baton Rouge. I just love the colors!  This is the Huey P. Long Bridge which crosses the Mississippi River on US 190 which is also known as the “Old Bridge” [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Sunset over the Bonnet Carre Spillway

September 14, 2011

This was the sunset that greeted me after landing in New Orleans for my recent trip to Louisiana.  This photo was taken while riding on I-10 over the Bonnet Carre Spillway.  Note, I was not driving. I’m playing Wordless Wednesday today with My Little Drummer Boys, Faith Hope & a whole lotta love,  live and [...]

Glory Days

September 13, 2011

The year was 1985, Bruce Springsteen’s Glory Days was playing on the airwaves, and I was 14 years old.  I remember singing along and thinking it was a old fart song. Now I think I’m going down to the well tonight and I’m going to drink till I get my fill And I hope when [...]
