Grasshumpers!

Ok, make sure that you are sitting there when the children read the name of this photo–that’s what PG stands for, right? Parental Guidance? Then you can explain what hump means and all that rest of the birds and the bees stuff. Good luck with that.

Lucky for you, your children have more fun things to do than read the rantings of a mad woman.

Grass Humpers! Isn’t that hilarious? Thank you, Rach, for this witty entry. It really made me laugh!

Now, isn’t nepotism grand? Turns out that Rach is my long lost daughter who left home at 19 to do some pretty radical things like pay her own rent, car note, insurance, utility bills, college tuition, food, gasoline. Then that wild thing went and graduated magna cum laude (I can’t even spell it!) and THEN she went on to get her Master’s. And after all that she expects to just come waltzing back home and live with me until she marries a wonderful made-for-her man in May. How DARE she?

Whew. Sorry. I just had to get that off my chest. Because Rach already has a copy of my book, and I know she would love this much better, she is winning a $10 gift card to Starbuck’s.

Because this is my blog, I can do what I want. And in this case, (so no one will accuse me of nepotism), I am choosing two names. That way, if my BW photos ever go public, I will use the more “G rated” name of Leaping Lovers, submitted by Choupiquer.

This was so much fun, I can’t wait for the next one. The entries were all so creative, (sorry I had to delete the twisted ones!), and I really appreciate all of you taking the brain power and time to submit an entry.

Please email me your mailing address so I can send you your prize.

  • Coastal Restoration: Beating a Dead Horse?

    In the spring of 2010, my email box was inundated with writers looking for the softer side of the story of the Deepwater Horizon explosion and following oil spill disaster. These seekers of a different angle flocked to my bayou to interview my shrimping neighbors. As a wetland advocate, I wondered how I could use this man-made disaster as a platform to further the cause of education and awareness.

    It became clear to me early on that most of the journalists who arrived at my door really had no clue about our culture and way of life. So, if they wanted a story about how the oil spill had impacted us, then they must humor me and allow me to educate them about this vanishing ecosystem and its people.

    What these well-meaning journalists needed first was a foundational perspective from the standpoint of a population of coastal communities who were suffering yet one more blow to their way of life. As a woman who lives, works, and fishes here, I could give them that perspective, which was simply this:

    This oil spill was not an isolated disaster for the people of coastal Louisiana. It was like being kicked when we were already down. And here’s why.

    First Bayou Woman Adventure Short Film

    To usher in Regular Time, I have a little surprise for you! It’s a short film of the first ever Bayou Woman Adventure we had back in June. Carolyn Scofield, field news reporter for WVUE FOX 8 News in New Orleans came along with us, shot some footage, and put together this show. Kudos to her and all the ladies who went crabbing two ways and earned their right to call themselves Bayou Women.

  1. Yay! Starbucks bucks! $10 is enough for 2.3 chai lattes! Also, I do dare to come back and live with you, but don’t act like you’re not thrilled! 😛 Hopefully, though, I’ll have a lead on an apartment no later than February.
