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 …

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 …

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 …

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.

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 …

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”, …

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? 😉

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 …
