It’s time.
The doc said I pulled a muscle coughing.
Could there be a clearer indicator of my physical state? I need to get to the gym STAT.

Jan 2, 2012New Orleans Real Estate
The city of New Orleans just rolled out its soft second mortgage program for first time homebuyers. They’re giving over $50 million in subsidies (up to $65,000 per house) in an attempt to speed up the redevelopment of some of the city’s most neglected neighborhoods.
That’s a pretty incredible deal.
Here’s the house I would buy:
Self-Portrait
Self-portraits are obnoxious. I wish I were capable enough to stage a shot and have the camera timer flash away. That way people might wonder who took the photo. There’s no doubt who is responsible for this one.
Just me, smiling at a piece of technology.
Pretty sounds of New Orleans Dreams.

Homemade Pecan Pie
In my granny’s kitchen there’s a little plaque on the wall that reads: Never trust a skinny cook. I finally understood that this week - I mean, REALLY understood it - after firing up the oven in an attempt to make homemade pecan pies. I had a hard time pouring that goopy cup of Karo syrup into the mix but it was well worth it in the end.
Below is Mama’s recipe for Pecan Pie and a picture of how my version turned out. (OH YEAH! I finally bought a REAL camera!)
3 eggs - beat
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup Karo sugar
1 Teaspoon a.p. flour (mix in with sugar)
1 T melted butter
1 t vanilla
Pecans (about 2 cups)
350 until crust is brown
MEOW, Tiger Lady is lookin’ good tho
