Be a magnet for all that is good
My affirmation today:This day I declare that I am a spiritual magnet that attracts to me all of the good of God that I can receive.

Kevin Parker opens a second location of Jazzy’s
Parker opened another Jazzy’s on Earhart right by Carrollton where the old funky daiquiri shop used to be. His prices are cheap cheap cheap – but that is not why you need to go – the roast beef poboy is simply the best thing you will put in your mouth. The last two months have been difficult as he gets used to this new location, off the beaten path. It wasn’t a charmer for the…

The Star-Bellied Sneetch
When I go to Swirl on Tuesday or Friday nights, I like to get all dolled up. Why the hell not? I work at home, most of the time in my workout clothes because I’m either exercising or at my computer, so it’s nice to comb my hair, put a little color on my lips and eyes, and don a cute outfit from my closet and wear high heels. Laurie called me a princess the…

Easy like Sunday morning
WWOZ sent me a CD for my donation I gave at the end of the year – there is a song on it that is called “Be Easy” and it is a cautionary tale to young men that if they want to get the girl, they need to be easy and she in turn will come to you real easy. Be Easy it keeps saying – hold a little space, a little mystery – for…

Angels Angels Angels Angels in every color
I’m going to be a red angel, Ivette will be a black angel, Jerri will be a white angel and Fatma will be a pink angel. That’s the plan for Mardi Gras. Tomorrow night I’ll be a PussyCat, Thursday night a Geisha, Endymion – who knows – maybe just a Mardi Gras sprite. You gotta love a costume. Or at least a wig.

Is this all based on Oxtocin?
I was reading this blog because it has something to do with work and a couple of the entries struck a chord with me. I always claim to the world that I was a love baby, the youngest of six, bounced on some knee (a father, mother, uncle, aunt, brother, grandmother) for most of my childhood years. I was the only child breast fed of the six. And when everyone asks me how I came…

On any given Sunday
The rest of the world is in a somnambulist haze and here in the Gulf South, in New Orleans, Mardi Gras is in full swing. Aside from all the float parades that rolled yesterday, there was Barkus, where the dogs get to come out and shine. Although truth be had, some of those dogs didn’t look too happy – especially those little shaky ones. That’s why it’s best to bring your fake dog out for…

Breakfast at the LaLa
The neighbors all came over this morning for some breakfast. R&A brought the mimosas and when we sat down and said a prayer – Happy Mardi Gras! and thank you for the food. Some of the simple routines in my life like having breakfast with my neighbors and looking out at the bayou and watching Lucky & Loca tear up two stuffed animals in five minutes and arguing about Hillary and Obama – just make…

Barkus 2008
We are NOT taking the dogs to Barkus as Loca almost pulled the fingers off my left hand chasing a squirrel this morning and Lucky is too much to handle in a dog parade and Arlene just isn’t going to budge from the twenty paces in front of the LaLa. So we dressed them up and toured them around the neighborhood for their own little parade this morning – Arlene went as a Black Bean,…
