So, guess who is coming to town? Well, not it's not Aunt Ethel....it's Chicago. For all of you theater junkies, this one is NOT to be missed and all that jazz. I am sure many of you remember "Chicago" going to the big screen a few years back. The movie included Queen Latifah, Catherina Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere and Renee Zellweger. Did you know that Catherine Zeta-Jones won "Best Supporting Actress" for Chicago? Just a little information for you there, want more info? Well, pull up a chair!
Chicago was a Kander and Ebb musical. The book was written by Ebb and Bob Fosse. The story is a satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice, and the concept of the "celebrity criminal." Did you know that Chicago was actually based on a play that ran in 1926? It was based on the story of a reporter by the name of Maurine Watkins. The play was written about actual stories and crime that Maurine reported on. Kinda neat, uh?
In 1975, Chicago ran for a total of 936 performances. Whoa, that's a lot of Chicago! Want to hear something even cooler? Chicago's 1996 revival holds the record for the longest-running musical revival on Broadway. That should make you wanna jump out of your seat and head to ticketmaster, right? Well, if you are a theater junkie like me-you will! 
I have to admit I've seen the movie Chicago several times. I know all the songs by heart and sometimes (when no one is looking) I might tap a little. Shhh!
So, Chicago will be in town March 28 & 29 at Baton Rouge River Center. For more information, please be sure to click here!

After looking at the empty pizza boxes in the trash, I decided it was time for a change. Okay, so I don't eat pizza all the time, but I do have Papa John's on speed dial. Shh, don't tell anyone. So, on a friday night before ordering the usual, I discovered a need for change. I wanted to say so long to the hand tossed, extra cheese and pepperoni pizza I had been having an affair with for so long. It was becoming too much of a routine. I wanted more spice in my food life.
I called some friends to brain storm. At that point, I didn't care what we ate as long as it didn't involved anything that was spelled with two "z's (piZZa). "Let's go out for sushi". Ewwww, sushi? Isn't that like dead fish or something? I laugh when I say this b/c I eat tilapia all the time and it's dead fish. I think the correct term would be 'raw' or 'uncooked'. I am not very informed about sushi so I def. will not come across as Queen Sushi. I will tell you though that I was finally tired of pizza and ready for something new. Tsunami's it was. Let's go.
You know, I always love going to downtown Baton Rouge. It's just such an awesome atmosphere. It creates such a mood. It has a New Orleans vibe. I love that there are so many eating selections and places to hang out within walking distance of each other. It's really neat to go out downtown on a Friday night and see everyone out, walking and enjoying themselves.
If you are ever planning to go to Tsunami's, plan ahead. It's probably a good idea to make reservations. Of course, I'm so use to just dialing for pizza that the thought didn't cross my mind to dial for a reservation. No worries. Probably without a doubt, there will be a line and a waiting list? Why? It's just that good. Never fear though, you don't have to sit in a booth and wait to eat. I know how aggravating it can be while waiting in line at a restaurant. Sometimes you wait so long, you're more aggravated than hungry when they finally call your name. Not Tsunami's. They have what most popular restaurant's have- a pager.
The pager gives you the option of not having to sit in one spot while waiting for a table. Did we sit in one spot? Oh no. Since I didn't dial for a reservation, it was a two hour wait. Most people would turn their nose up at a two hour wait. Not me and not at Tsunami's. I had a feeling it was going to be well worth the wait. I wasn't really sure how far the pager would reach and def. didn't want to "test" it out and run the risk of us missing our spot. We headed down to Capitol City Grill. Have you ever eaten there?
Capital City Grill is also an awesome find. They have one downtown and also off of Sherwood. I've eaten at both and have enjoyed it each time. Capital City Grill was somewhat empty so my friends and I sat at the bar while we waited on our pager to buzz. I'm not a big drinker but occasionally I will sip on something if I go have dinner with friends. Capital City Grill has an awesome drink but I can not recall the name. I know it involves mixing wine and champagne and topped off with a slice of fruit. It really is to die for.
Our buzzer goes off. *buzz* *buzz* Sushi time! We get into the elevator to head up to Tsuanami's. When the door opens, it's like you are walking into a totally different culture. The set up is so modern and very contemporary. The atmosphere was wonderful. The place was packed. We had at least seven people with us. The only thing I didn't like about it was it was kind of small. It didn't seem to have enough room for all the sushi lovers in Baton Rouge.
Our waiter comes up and I ask her what is good for an appetizer. She told me that the edamame was great. Eda-who? What the heck is eda-who who? I just took her word for it and ordered it. Can I tell you I was in love? What is this stuff? It's like beans that have been soaked in salt. They are to die for. I must admit I got three orders of them. To go with my beans, I ordered a chocolate martini. I think this was my favorite drink of all time. It tasted a bit like Bailey's and had chocolate swirled on top. Yum!
While we were waiting on our food, we went out on the balcony. This is what makes Tsnuami's so awesome. They have a huge balcony where there are couches and music playing. Tsunami's is on the 23nd floor, so you can only imagine how beautiful it is to stand on the balcony that overlooks Baton Rouge. It's was so refreshing drinking my chocolate martini and just hanging out on the balcony/deck and viewing Baton Rouge at night.
So, I did try one bit of sushi. I have to admit that I am not really a sushi person but I do like the cajun rolls. I think that I was so excited about the beans, I didn't even think about sushi. Everyone else ate sushi and seemed to love it. Besides all the beans, I ordered chicken teriyaki. I guess I was trying to play it safe. I didn't want to order anything crazy. I think I made a leap of faith just ordering the eda-who who.
I am a fork and spoon kind of girl. I know nothing about using chopsticks. Sometimes they do make great hair pieces though. :) I ate my chicken teriyaki right down to the last bite. The Tsunami experience was wonderful. I think it makes it even better when you are with a group of friends/family. Next time I go, I plan to be more daring. Heck, I might even order the eel. Okay, maybe not but I am so glad that I opted out getting pizza and ventured out into the world of sushi. If you are ever looking for a place with a cool environment, good food and spirits...Tsunami's is the place for you. And please be sure to eat the beans!

So, you're looking for a library to visit, eh? Well, if you find me in the library it will def. be in the children's section. There's just something about those pop-up books that make my inner child smile. But, YES, there is more than just pop-up books. The East Baton Rouge Parish library has so much to offer. What I find interesting about this library, from research, is that they are really up to date on today's technology.
The East Baton Rouge Parish Library has numerous locations. I, for one, assumed that this library was only one of a kind. After I did more research I learned that they were connected to libraries all over the Baton Rouge area, besides the main library. Want to know a little history about the main library? Oh, I'm sure you do!
The main library opened in 1967. Holy Moses, that was a long time ago. It's noted that they expanded in 1975. So, how big is this library? 65,000 square feet on two floors, try that on for size! :) The "Main Library" serves as headquarters for all of East Baton Rouge Parish major divisions.
Wanna know something really neat? This library provides interlibrary Loan services as well as Outreach services to nursing homes, assisted living and retirement homes. Now, you can't beat that with a stick! There are over one-half million items in the East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library! I wonder if that includes the pop-up books! How can they have room for conference room space for 25 people and an an auditorium that sits 75 people with one-half million items? This must be the library of all libraries!
I would be bragging if I went on to talk about all the events they offer and so forth. Aw, what the heck- do you mind me bragging? They are always holding programs and events at Baton Rouge Parish library. I must mention my favorite "Story Time". Ah, this brings back a nostalgia feelings. What is a library without a story time? Besides that, they also offer free computer classes. So, all of you that are nervous about the internet, get on board and get a freebie! Everyone loves freebies! They also have certain exhibits through out the month, so it's important to check out their calendar every so often so you don't miss out!
Need information? No problem! Just go to their reference link!

There website is filled with great information that I am really glad I stumbled on. I will def. be going back to learn more about the library and Baton Rouge!

Baton Rouge real estate agent here to guide you through the buying and selling process. I am committed to fulfilling your needs with the highest bit of professionalism and service.
I began college with a major in music. Having an intense love for music I was very active in church groups and also had scholarships to sing. Even though music was my passion, I knew that I would never make it to "rock star" status so I switched majors. This is one of the best moves I ever made. I jumped head first into my new major- business.
After having been so involved in music, I became exposed to another world. I found a new love in business and marketing. I ended up getting my Bachelor's of Science in Business Management with a 3.8 GPA. After getting my degree,I decided to go all the way and start my own company, "Little Modern Me". Little Modern Me consisted of an online clothing store for children. I was inspired to start the company after I had my beautiful baby boy, Cooper.
I worked out of my garage day in and day out. While I enjoyed helping people find the best outfits for their little ones, I felt as if something was missing. I formed and mainted relationships with my clients but these were all maintained through the computer. I wanted more. I wanted face to face transactions. I wanted to be able to see the delighted faces of my clients when they received their items. I brainstormed and came to the conclusion that real estate is where I needed to be.
Real Estate is my calling. This is where I was meant to be. Helping people, forming new relationships and friendships is my passion. I believe in honesty, integrity and stand behind the Code of Ethics. I believe that the quote "Find something you love to do and you will never work a day in your life" is completely true. I have found something that I love to do. As a child, I knew that I wanted to help people and you can imagine how excited I was when I found a way to do it.
I believe it is so important to have good solid relationships with my clients. I treat all of my clients as if they were a good friend and a number of them are. I'm an outgoing real estate professional who laughs a lot but knows when to get serious. I am so blessed that I now get the chance to see the smile on my client's face after they have purchased the home of their dreams.
I am a very passionate person. I have a beautiful son named Cooper. I have a fluffy, little dog who I call Shyann. As you know, I have an extreme love for music and the arts. I enjoy making people laugh, spending time with my family and house hunting. If you are looking for a real estate professional to guide you through the buying or selling process, I would more be than honored to help you.
We are here to guide you through the buying or selling process, taking the time to make sure you understand every step of the transaction.
