Laissez les bon temps rouler!

I love love love New Orleans. 
But of course, the closest I will get to NOLA this year are the beads I'm wearing today.
 (Obtained the boring way, not the flash your ta-tas way!)

Because today is Fat Tuesday, 
I thought I'd share a few of the things that I love about New Orleans:

Cafe du Monde's cafe au lait and beignets! YUM!

Jackson Square
Lafayette Cemetery #1

Watching the sun rise

Street cars to the Garden District

No visit would be complete without a visit to Anne Rice's former home

If you really know me, you know that I may be a *tad* obsessed with vampires.
I read many novels before Anne Rice came along,
(Bram Stoker's Dracula, Carmilla, etc.)
but Interview with the Vampire introduced me to New Orleans.

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale.

Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite their renewed feel

Enjoy the little things...

The music filled my head as I drove my car along the winding river road on that dark and snowy night.  I had just left my grandpa's wake and was headed home... alone.....  My husband had the stomach flu, we had moved into our new house the day before my grandpa passed, and I was 5 1/2 months pregnant.  The baby boy inside me kicked along with the song, as I cried and listened to the words. Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. Take your time...

I've always found comfort in songs... the words of the artists resonating with me through even my darkest times. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man is one of those songs that just happens to play on the radio at the precise moment that I need a remind

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?
