Thanks to everyone who elected to play the French-themed “Monday morning trivia” this week… and congratulations to Catpants and Nicole, who correctly guessed (B) “Où est le bœuf?” More on this in a sec. The tricky thing about this particular question is that all of the answers have played a role in my life. A) …
WW update – week #2
Apologies, all, for letting this blog sit unupdated for nearly a week. It’s been quarterly-sinus-infection time, so I went to the doctor late Wednesday, got good drugs, and am now coughing my way (despite the codeine-laced cough syrup, which only seems to make me dizzy) to recovery. Thank goodness. Unfortunately, the sinus infection hasn’t affect …
Monday morning trivia!
Begun last week, Monday morning trivia offers you an opportunity to test your ability to intuit and/or guess the answers to random trivia bits. Here’s today’s question, inspired by two days of sporadic French music: When my first French exchange student, Thierry, came to America my junior year of high school, he was extremely amused …
quelqu’un m’a dit…
Saturday was filled with two goose chases for us: Daniel was determined to find the rollerblades that hurt the least/fit the best, were under $100, and had something other than plastic attaching the wheels to the boot; I, on the other hand, was determined to find “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead” on DVD. And on …
WW week 1 update
So, last night Daniel and I had our first weigh-in at Weight Watchers. I was actually pretty excited because I was confident the scale would show at least 3 lbs. lost, and maybe even 4. And, in fact, my weight loss for the week was 3.6 lbs. (Good guessing, Liz!) Daniel lost even more than …
Blogger tip
I’ve been trying to post that BD’s message (the most recent blog before this one) since yesterday at 3 p.m., and getting Blogger errors. I checked this morning, and they recommended deleting your cookies to fix the problem. I had my doubts that would work, but I did (in IE, Tools > Internet Options > …
eat all you can and benefit the homeless
Daniel pointed out — I hadn’t realized it myself — the irony inherent in having a fundraiser for the homeless at an all-you-can-eat joint. Nevertheless, that’s what the Habitat for Humanity kids at TWU are doing next Tuesday. If you’re among the vaunted Liz Circle (and live in Dallas, of course), you’ve probably received an …
Santos!
I love the West Wing, and this has been a great week for the show. Season 4 came out on DVD Tuesday, and I can’t wait to start working my way through the first season I really watched on TV with any kind of regularity — to see what I missed and to remind myself …
horoscope (24 hours late)
Yesterday’s Quick! horoscope for me was RIGHT on target (hehe): Today is a 9. You’re popular and charming, interesting and interested. You’re attracting the attention of important people. Look sharp. {Aside: It’s too bad I didn’t read that before I left home yesterday morning. I opted to use my day out of the office to …
and the answer is…
Congratulations to Melissa and Curtis, who both correctly guessed the answer to Monday Morning Trivia this week. To jog your memory, our question was: When I was very young, my childhood playmates and I put together an impressively daring routine on my swing set (which had monkey bars, rings, swings, a slide and a trapeze-looking …
