I’ve had lots of “I should put this on the blog” thoughts in the last few days … but clearly, I haven’t followed through. I’ll try not to do a total brain dump, but here are some random bits for y’all on a Friday morning. – MY BABY BROTHER GRADUATES TODAY!!! That’s right, George gets …

Ok, so I’ve mentioned Daniel a few times lately, and he even went comment crazy sometime last week and chipped in all sorts of thoughts about LizBlog material. What I haven’t done is explain who he is or why his name keeps popping up. I’ve had my reasons. (He does, after all, read this blog!) …

I flew to Houston this morning. Here are the highlights: * I didn’t leave four hours for flat-tire time, yet I still was among the first on the plane. Don’t tell Pa Norell. * My Southwest plane was brown on the inside. I felt like I was living at my parents’ house circa 1980. * …

To that end, one of my top-two favorite restaurant chains in Dallas — BJ’s Brewhouse — is building a new Plano location right at 75 and 15th Street. This is DANGEROUSLY close to where I’m moving in mid- to late November. I’m not sure having a BJ’s less than 15 minutes away is a good …

Last night, I watched “The Day After Tomorrow” … which clocked in at just more than two hours, and boy, did I ever feel every second of those 124 minutes! It was very suspenseful, from the very beginning, and by the time the eye of the storm was about to reach Manhattan with Jake Gyllenhaal …

I first read about Jon Stewart’s racy appearance on “Crossfire” this morning when I got my Monday-morning headlines from my undergrad alma mater’s college newspaper (The Hatchet — Go GW!). That’s because “Crossfire” — in one of those cruel, you-were-here-at-the-wrong-time,-Liz twists — is now taped in the media building at GW, and so Jon’s inflammatory …

But THIS is sorta how I feel right now. Don’t get me wrong, I love my coworkers and am not complaining AT ALL. I’m just ready for some non-work thoughts to enter my brain. 🙂

Dear God. After months of Texas summer heat (though, I would add, nothing like usual), nature has rewarded my patience by giving us a fantastically cool autumn day here in Texas. The temperature outside right now — at nearly 11 a.m. — is a breezy 55. In other words, my idea of heavenly fall weather. …
