Happy New Year to all of you out there in Blog Land. Wishing you happiness, good health, prosperity, joy and peace.
My 2009 ended with on a wonderful note – HCFG and I are engaged!!! We are very excited and are looking forward to our future life together.
And a fa la la la la to you [...]
New York Philharmonic in Central Park tonight! I’m looking forward to enjoying the music, along with 60,000 of my dearest friends. Not to mention a picnic with wine, cheese and fruit – bliss!
Look for HCFG and I on the Great Lawn, we’ll be the ones having a really good time!
Hope to see you there!
… I’m back!!
“So Lisa B, what have you been doing during your rather ahem lengthy blog hiatus?”
“Thanks for asking oh-curious-unnamed-blogger! I suddenly looked up and months had gone by. How in the world did THAT happen???”
Anyway, here are a few of the highlights:
HCFG and I celebrated our one year anniversary. I truly can’t believe it, [...]
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 [...]
HCFG: “I would love some oatmeal cookies, are there any more of them still around?”
Lisa: “You asked me to hide them so they wouldn’t tempt you, remember?”
HCFG is speaking slowly and carefully: “Right, I did. But that was last week. Now I’m requesting a few cookies so will you please bring me a handful?”
Lisa: “No.” [...]
So I already told you that our holiday trip started off badly. Our new flight was rescheduled to leave on the morning of Christmas Eve at 6:20 a.m. We packed until the wee hours of the morning, and then collapsed for a brief rest.
We had to be extra-careful not to forget anything, since [...]
It’s the Saturday night before Christmas, and we are leaving for our trip out West the next morning. We just dropped Ally da Pup off at her pet sitter’s and are heading home. We have done everything on our never-ending-to-do-list and are finally ready to go on our vacation. We are busy congratulating ourselves [...]
We spoke in hushed quiet tones…
“Babe, look at that.”
“That is so beautiful.”
“It’s absolutely magical, I feel like it was created just for us.”
Several hours earlier…
My building is endowed with an over-efficient boiler. It’s only a few years old and really does its job. Translation? My building is always hot. Africa hot. We all complain about [...]
When HCFG and I traveled for Thanksgiving, we had to leave on a separate days. I took the whole week off, but he had to work down to the wire. He traveled on Thanksgiving Day, and because he is a bajillion-mile-flyer he was upgraded to First Class.
That particular airline has a deal where you [...]
I’m sure it’s been made quite clear by now that HCFG and I are happy together. Ad nauseum at times (sorry about that!) But you can’t write about a good relationship and not talk about the fights as well. And yes, we do fight. Of course we do, everyone does. Any couple that says they [...]
