If you’ve been following the comments to my “blog turns 100” post earlier this week, you know there’s been some trash talking regarding Paul not blogging and various theories/reasons why that is. I’d like to move this out into a slightly more visible/public forum by pointing out many reasons I think Paul would actually *enjoy* …

My brother, Robert/Bob/Rob/Roberto!/Bobby/George/”Hey You”, and I are trying very hard to reconcile the parents we always thought we knew with the people now inhabiting their house. I mean, first my dad retired a few years ago. Both of us were in full agreement that that was cool. Then, they went to Hawaii to visit my …

Tomorrow night (Saturday), I’m going on a “girls’ night out.” This isn’t such a novel concept for most women I know. While most of my gal pals don’t have an abundance of female friends, they have *some*. Yet for most of my adult life, if I’ve had any, it’s been one, and very often she’s …

… with “The Family Guy.” Ha! 😉 I watched a few more episodes of this simply *brilliant* animated series tonight with Gary, after an equally *brilliant* dinner at Pei Wei in Allen. It was a fantastic, relaxing, low-key night of hanging out and catching up. I simply must purchase the seasons of The Family Guy …

Amazingly enough, this marks my 100th post to my blog! What started as an unambitious travelblog has morphed into something far more amusing for us all. Thanks to everyone for your continued interest and participation! So Paul, when are you gonna jump on the bandwagon? Inquiring minds want to know! 🙂

Last night, I went out to Ozona’s Bar & Grill on Greenville with Daniel and his friends to see an improv comedy troupe called Section 8 Comedy. They were fantastic! Currently, they play at Ozona’s on Tuesdays and have occasional appearances at a place in the West End. I highly recommend checking them out sometime! …

It’s shocking. I, Liz Norell, the anti-morning person, got up at 6 a.m. today. {yawn} I’m supposed to be in Fort Worth at 8:00. Eeks! But hey! At least I get to spend a half-day out of the office learning cool stuff, right? In other “hard to believe” news, though it didn’t work out, my …

The concept of “firsts” became something of a running joke/topic of conversation over the weekend. At various points in my life, it has been suggested — usually in jest, though not always — that I have lived something of a sheltered existence these last 27 years or so. Perhaps so. I’ve never believed that was …

I didn’t finish “Wicked,” but we had a fantastic book club meeting in spite of it. I didn’t like the fact that the musical “Little Shop of Horrors” had such a … ummm, well, horrific (hehe) ending, but it was FANTASTIC. I know, I know, I *always* say that about musicals / comedians / movies …

Something today inspired me to go hunting for a little thing Jen and I wrote as college freshman extremely frustrated with the men we talked to on the phone. (Aside: These lost Web treasures are exactly why I keep meaning to redesign/reorganize my personal Web site.) Anyway, please note this has been untouched/unedited since it …
