I can’t believe it’s finally over…
In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t had the opportunity to post as frequently this month for one, overwhelming reason…I had jury duty. Now, for my readers who do not live in Orleans Parish, criminal court jury duty demands that you appear two days out of the week, either Monday […]
I just realized . . .
I completely forgot to mention how much I’d lost/gained in my NOWFE post a few days ago! It took me a bit to recover from the food induced haze on Friday. It’s also because things on the diet front have not been very good. Well, I gained three pounds last […]
Why my friends are cooler than yours…

Missing out
This past week I have felt terrible. Due to the gorgeous springtime weather, my allergies kicked into high gear and had me wheezing like…well…a person with asthma triggered by severe allergies. The only way to avoid an expensive trip to the emergency room that my finances couldn’t possibly withstand, I […]
Springtime celebration similarities
With the official arrival of spring yesterday and the proliferation of St. Joseph’s Day altars around town on Friday, I can’t help but be reminded of home when the coming of spring meant the beginning of Persian New Year. “Nowruz” marks the beginning of spring and the first day of […]
