Mardi Gras is Here

Happy Mardi Gras yall!!!

(pic. on left - that's me standing looking at something??? and that's my daughter sitting) (pic. on right - that's me on the left (yes, I have a black wig on), then that's my daughter, and my best buddy Rhonda, with a wig on too. We are cleopatra's, our costumes for our parade..Don't I look funny with black hair..)

Well. I'm from New Orleans, and I don't truly like Mardi Gras. (Mardi Gras Day, that is)
I guess it's a "Been there-- Done that" kind of thing. When Mardi Gras comes, we usually go! (to another place that is)...

Now, I do ride in a parade every year, but it is a "small family" parade on the westbank. "Cleopatra". It's not the crazy "Mardi Gras Day" parades, where the insane come to play...

It's this Friday, so if any of my friends are going give me a call and I'll give you the scoop on the float # etc., I'll throw you bunches if I see you...

Now on the writing front. It's slow. After Friday's parade, I'm going to get my ass in gear! Seriously....

Have a safe and happy Mardi Gras!

NOW IT'S MARDI GRAS TIME!!! WOOOO-HOOOO!!!

Geaux LSU Tigers - BCS

Alrighty guys, lets win this title.

Last night went to the quarter and I have to say I've never seen the french qtr. like this. It was so packed with people, worse than Mardi Gras. Ohio's fans were everywhere. Bourbon Street was awesome....people everywhere having a great time.....New Orleans surely needed this......Thanks for coming OHIO!!!

But,there were tons more LSU fans it was great.......
Geaux LSU!!!
We love you guys, and hope this is the best game you've ever played....

I know Ohio lost last years BCS game, and may want this title a little more than LSU, but don't let that be a factor...This is our city!! Our Title!! Go and get it!

Happy New Years

Being that today is January 1st 2008 (wow, I can't believe it, can you?), I wanted to blog about new beginnings. My new beginning this new year is to plant ass in the chair and just write.

I've been doing alot of brain storming but not putting it down in writing. What's a girl to do when she just has too many darn stories trying to pop out of her head at once. Well, I just decided I'm going to create a dairy or journal if you will logged with all my ideas. I'll put as much info as I have on it, and then move on to my current WIP.

I've had a week off to think about my voodoo story, and I'm still a little blocked on how to come about my ending. I think my characters are trying to screw with me. "NOT NICE"........

Anywho, I'm heading to write right now. Here's wishing everyone many book contracts...and a peaceful 2008....

Hugs all,
