come to jesus meeting

Some time ago, I know for a fact that I found an excellent Web site explaining what a “come to Jesus” meeting is. Now I cannot. Damned Google! While looking for a good description, though, I found this clever compendium of phrases, explaining where they come from. Is it totally trustworthy? Your opinion’s as good …

renewed enthusiasm

I think Matt’s good mood last night must have rubbed off on me. Today I’m feeling jazzed about life in general … but more importantly, I’m also feeling lots more enthusiastic about starting classes again than I have been in a year. Maybe my slacking over the summer really did serve to reenergize me for …

virtual hockey

My friend Matt called tonight in an unusually good mood. (Read about why on his site.) During the course of the conversation, he mentioned the fact that hockey seems unlikely to occur this year because of contract disagreements. If I understood the details, I’d relay them, but ultimately they’re not totally necessary here. Anyway, Matt’s …

easy dinner

Here’s a new thing for y’all — Liz’s super-easy cook-for-one dinner recipe du jour: chicken & rice. Ingredients: – As much chicken as you want (I buy lots of frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts and freeze them two per ziploc baggie) – One can of cream of chicken soup (I buy the “healthy request” variety …

first day of school

I got up super-early today (alarm set for 6 a.m. — which just makes me cringe to admit) and arrived to work well in advance of 8 a.m. because … today’s the first day of classes here at TWU! It’s always a hectic day on campus, replete with parking woes and lost/dazed/confused students, but it’s …

the fab five + UNT frat boys = eeks!

That’s right, I read in the Dallas Morning News today that the “fab five” from Queer Eye are coming to the metroplex to tape three shows to air in January sometime. {snip} The show received 2,500 applications from area hopefuls, exceeding anything producers had seen in New York. They chose to make over a fraternity …

blog index

The blog’s old enough and big enough now that navigating the archives by date is getting to be a bit ridiculous. To that end, I’ve created this handy dandy LizBlog index. I’ll update the index semi-regularly and post over on the right-hand sidebar near the Ground Rules. So you can always get to the old …

NOT bowling alone

I sent out an e-mail to a dozen people or so the other day inviting them to come bowl on Sunday. The subject line of the e-mail was the same as this blog entry, “NOT bowling alone.” The phrase was a play on the title of an article written several years ago called “Bowling Alone”, …

frogs

Here’s another pottery painting picture of me, this time with a *frog* instead of a turtle. What just occurred to me is that, with three women, not a single one of us made a joke about kissing frogs. Hrm. That must indicate *something*, right? 😉
