A moment of zen
As much as I enjoy living in New Orleans, getting away for a few days is never a bad thing. After months of the grind, Chuck and I are finally able to take a short vacation. It’s not our official honeymoon, but at least there is sun and a beach. And while this morning found…

Craft Beer is for me.
I have only recently gotten into the craft beer scene, and New Orleans has certainly upped its game in that department. I’ve always had Abita Beer when coming to the city and now that I live here, have branched out to enjoy the other breweries in the city and surrounding areas. I’m constantly in awe…

Bourbon….times 80
This past weekend saw us attend the New Orleans Bourbon Festival. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it as much as I did. I realized that good bourbon is definitely something I enjoy. Although I doubt I’ll make it my “go to” drink, I’m certainly not opposed to sipping on one every now and then. While…

Life happens
I think I need a vacation. Actually, I need a honeymoon. Well, we do. Not just me. We went through the holidays, the wedding and Mardi Gras. Festival season is starting and we are both fried. But in less than two months, we will be relaxing on a beach with zero plans for the full…

Settling in
Married life is different, yet it’s not. There’s a realization that everything I do now is 100% tied to Chuck. And while in my heart it has been like that for a long time, this new reality is sinking in. No longer can I make a decision and just tell him later. He’s part of…

Better than expected
Through all the trials and tribulations of wedding planning, and the fact that it wasn’t as much fun as I had been told, Chuck and I are finally married. Jan. 14, 2017 was an amazing day and one that we both will cherish and look back on with huge smiles on our faces for the rest…

The school shooting that changed my career
Being in the news business, I was at the forefront of bringing what was going on in the world to the viewers…. and too often, those stories were of people killed in unspeakable instances. I had done a good job over my career of separating myself from what was happening and trying to do my…

Building blocks
Having a bigger apartment and planning to spend a few years here means getting “our” things rather than mine or his. So one of the first items we purchased was a breakfast nook. We decided on this for several reasons, but the main thing was to have friends over for dinner. Well, “some assembly required”…

Getting closer and needing a break
Chuck and I are getting closer to the wedding and we couldn’t be more excited. But added to the last minute details we are having to confirm is the fact that we aren’t fully into our new apartment yet. It’s stressful, although it is getting to be a bit more manageable as we complete a…

Vegas, baby!!
8 of my friends and I hit Las Vegas this weekend for my bachelorette party. Think of it more as a girls’ weekend with a little more flair. There were no matching shirts, hats or anything else. But we did do the silly bachelorette things in the room. The trip was awesome. We are well,…
