About Me



I love the South, especially Louisiana. Those folks who hate it here should leave and stop their griping. Seriously. No, really. I mean it.

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

My Interests

Sewing, crabbing, fishing, trying to figure out the gardening thing, camping, hiking, cooking, making people laugh (especially Mark), writing (mostly rubbish ramblings), taking pictures and laughing (whether it's true laughter or laughing at someone's stupidity, including my own).

I'd like to meet:


Bobby Jindal as Louisiana Governor - which he is now...and had BETTER NOT leave to run for VP with that Dem turned Rep jackass. God help us in this next election.

Blake Shelton, Jack White (and Meg so I can call her a wuss), Evel Knievel, John Corbett and Nan Kelley (so I can kidnap her and take her job).

People who read something besides myspace surveys. Folks who care about kids and the environment and DO something to help both.

Music:

Our local guys are the best. And I truly don't remember ever hearing icky music at the Blue Moon. And then, in south Louisiana we've got festivals all year long to go hear good music.

Movies:

I like watching them at home and they're prob. something you've never heard of.

Television:

Television sucks. And the more channels you have, the less there is to watch, except for What Not to Wear. I like that show a lot.

Books:

The classics. I enjoy some biographies, especially if it's a Catholic Saint.

Heroes:

My brother in Iraq (SGT. Benjamin M. Bettevy), my future mother-in-law and Catholic nuns and priests.

waking up early

I've been trying to do it, but it usually doesn't happen.  However, on the days when I'm able to get out the door before 7am, I feel like a million dollars.  The early birds here at the offi...

blindness

So, I've been pretty frustrated the last couple of days because I can't find some of the things that I know I own.  I've lived in three houses in the last few months, with two storage sheds, one ...

please don’t start...

Gas is getting close to $4 a gallon.  I REALLY hope I don't hear a lot of bitchin' from you people.  You don't complain about prices of other things.  But, we're quick to jump on the ga...

dancing with old men

I hate most bars.  The Blue Moon is an exception.  To me, it is not a bar - unless they have a band playing that doesn't attract the regulars.  You can go there and dance and it means n...

hang up

I just answered the phone here at work hoping it would just be someone calling for one of my coworkers.  Answer, transfer, hang up.  I wasn't thinking it could be an inquiry.  Sometimes...

Diet Coke can be dangerous!!!

So, this is not a blog about aspartame.  This is a blog about plastic bottle caps.  The new ones, to be specific.  I sliced the HECK out of my finger last weekend, trying to get the cap...

I find it ironic...

...that in this fad of "going green" that magazines have the audacity to suggest ways to go green.  Yet, think of all the trees they're killing.  And all of those little cards that fall out ...

Big Brother

Last night and again this morning, KLFY reported on cameras that the St. Landry Sheriff's Department are going to receive and have installed in their patrol cars.  Both times, they reported somet...
