Da Bears Got It Right

( Alcohol and Carbs and HCFG and Hibernating and POV and Reality TV and Work )

I’m hibernating with my sweetie until further notice…
HCFG and I will be munching on girl scout cookies, watching reality tv, reading ourselves blind, and quaffing hot toddies, all the while continuing to be nauseatingly shmoopie.
Oh and we’ll also concentrating on secret projects, so secret that if I told you I’d have to… never mind.
I’ll be [...]

The Day After

( Carbs and Food and His Family and Holidays and Kizmeet and POV and Relationships and Travel )

“Honey, wake up! Aren’t we going to make brunch for your family today?”
Grunts emanate from the enormous tangle of covers on the bed.
“We promised to cook breakfast for our New Year’s Day celebration. You really need to get up now, o.k.?”
More grunts, but the pile of bedding begins to stir.
“Why did we offer to do [...]

Lisa in Wonderland

( Carbs and Celebrations and Mom and The South )

I’ve fallen down a rabbit-hole and landed in Wonderland. I will be meeting all sorts of characters, including a Queen, a Cheshire Cat and a Mad Hatter or two… or fifty.
Translation = I’m in Texas for our 20th annual Tea Party! Mom and I are busily baking assorted lovely treats. We are expecting more than [...]

Ixnay on the Ookiescay!

NO MORE COOKIES!!!
Gawd, I’ve been eating them nonstop for weeks. First I had the bright idea to bake sweets for the holidays. I wanted to include them with my holiday tips. I always think they are a nice little extra treat. So naturally I had to taste each batch, right? I mean I needed to [...]

Bad Blogger

( Ally da Pup and Carbs and Life and New York and POV )

“Hello, my name is Lisa B. and I’ve been a bad blogger.”
The Blogosphere replies, “Hi Lisa B.!”
“It’s been a long time since my last post. But I’ve been really, really busy.”
The Blogosphere responds, “Yea, yea, that’s what they all say. Now explain why or the pup gets to chill on the pillows forever.”
POUT.
Well, hiiiiiii [...]

Blowing This Pop Stand

( Cake and Carbs and L.A. and POV and Showbiz and Travel and Work )

I’m leaving this cold, blustery town and heading West. Yes folks, I’m off to LA for business and play – I just love it when those two things come together! I’m going to work, see friends, shmooze, and probably like I would miss it have a piece of cake.
Behave your fine selves and I’ll see [...]

Birthday Girl!

( Alcohol and Birthday and Cake and Carbs and Celebrations and POV )

Yet another birthday is just about here and I’m gonna celebrate big this year! I have a kick ass supper party planned next week with many of my nearest and dearest. I am really looking forward to it! Plus I get to see several of my other wonderful pals for a boozy European style lunch. [...]

How I Spent my Thanksgiving Holiday

( Carbs and Holidays and Mom and POV and Shopping and The South )

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving! I did the usual, spent time with Mom, saw extended family and special friends, helped prepare our holiday fare, and last but not least shopped on Black Friday. We were at the mall at 5:45 a.m., and for all you naysayers, well piffle on you. We SCORED [...]

Me Love Cookies – Phooey… Cookies are Carbs!

( Carbs and Food and Health and POV )

Okay folks, I’m throwing myself at your mercy. I need some help here! My doctor “spanked” me the other day, and told me I must limit carbohydrates and lose a few pounds. I had already pretty much eliminated desserts, but damn it, carbs are my friend. Well, maybe not so much, but still, I LOVE [...]
