Wondering why I’ve been so quiet? That’s ’cause I’m traveling, and I’ve decided to move the travelblog to its own destination. Because seriously, weren’t you JUST thinking, “Gee, Liz needs another blog” ?? 🙂

Scott’s engaged! He called last night with the news. Who’d have thunk it?

That would be a fire alarm. Yes, that’s right, 90 minutes into my lovely trip to TWU’s Houston campus, the fire alarm went off and I got to lumber down ten flights of stairs and cross the street during what I’ve since learned is a fairly regular fire-drill routine here at our Houston center. The …

We all know how much I LOVE mornings (not at all), so you can imagine my sheer joy at being up at this hour. Stupid me, I booked myself on Southwest Flight #1 (seriously) to Houston at 7 a.m. today. D’oh! I forgot I normally take the 8 a.m. flight. Ah, well. I’m gonna get …

I was informed that, had I properly prepared for seeing “War of the Worlds” this afternoon by having watched the original movie — preferrable, presumably, to having read the book — I would have been less surprised that the so-called “war” wasn’t really a war at all.

Last week, I blogged about a speech I gave to a group of eighth- and ninth-grade girls about my job as a Web person. I was somewhat concerned about the extent to which I reached them … I mean, teenage girls aren’t necessarily the easiest audience to make a clear point to, right? Anyway, today …

One of my coworkers gave me a birthday card with one of the funniest pictures I’ve ever seen on the front. Inside it said, “Ah, nuts! I missed your birthday!” (For the record, she gave it to me the *day after* my birthday — that’s essentially on time in my book!!) Anyway, I’ve been meaning …

Saturday at TWU, we’re having an open house / information sessions for all our online degree programs. Really, it’s going to be *great*. EXCEPT for the fact that, because registration opens at 8:30, I’ve been told I must be present and awake IN DENTON at SEVEN THIRTY (yes, 7:30!) a.m. Saturday. Egads. I’m tired just …
