Times They Are a Changin’

( Ally da Pup and Life and New York )

Ally da Pup is frolicking. The air is crisp and cool. The leaves are changing colors. I wore a jacket this morning. We scheduled a trip upstate to go apple picking. And all this means just one thing…
Fall in New York!
I love it, I love it, I love it!!!

From the Desk of Lisa B. – The Electric Version

( Life and New York and POV and Sarcasm and Snark )

Dear Con Ed,
I really appreciate that you are fixing the street to offer me better service – that’s very gracious of you! Especially in view of the fact that my electric bill went up 30% this summer. It’s so nice to know I’m getting something for my money. I just can’t begin to tell you [...]

Never Say Goodbye – 2008

( Life and New York and Plays )

From two years ago… the original comments, which can be found here are very special to me as well.
I hate saying goodbye.
I’m not good at it. I never have been.
I don’t know what is worse, saying goodbye, or not being able to say goodbye. I have experienced both.
Endings are hard.
Some people let them roll of [...]

Qualifiers

( Dating and HCFG and Life and POV and Relationships )

So, I met a guy – HCFG – in online dating land. And he’s wonderful. We’re kinda, sorta, halfway, maybe, (I’m not jinxing this!) happy.
In case you are questioning the qualifiers, I’m not looking to have the universe bitch-slap me for being smug and or complacent. I am counting my blessings here, (and wish [...]

Conversation with HCFG

( Books and Dating and HCFG and Life and POV and Sex )

Lisa: “Have you heard about that couple in Colorado? The ones who
wrote a book about how they decided to spice up their sex life by having sex once a day for 101 days?
What do you think of that?”
Long pause.
Hot Cute Fun Guy: “Amateurs.”

I Walked The Walk

( Friends and Health and Life and New York and POV )

Usually The Revlon Walk is a sunny, warm day. This year it was overcast and cold. I had a hard time waking up and walking over to Shannon’s apartment. We had to get to 7th Avenue earlier than usual, (the organizers changed things this year,) to register and pick up our t-shirts. We met at [...]

Damn Straight, Helen

( Life and POV and Relationships )

Apparently this is “Women Empowerment Day” at Casa de Lisa B….
Lyrics from Helen Reddy’s “I am Woman”
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
‘Cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again
Oh [...]

Death Match 2008

( Life and New York and POV and Ugh )

I’m considered a very capable person. I’m guessing it’s probably due to a combination of my upbringing and my production background. Very few companies, corporations, or bureaucracies can intimidate me. I know how to work the system, (and get around the idiots people who slow me down.)
I think I’ve met my match though. These [...]

One More Time!

( Health and Life and New York )

Hi everyone,
(I asked for your support last year on my blog, and you guys rocked! I hope you will consider sponsoring me again for this very good cause.)
I’m walking in the 2008 Revlon Run/Walk for Women on May 3rd. I’ve done it before and it’s an amazing event. The friendship, love and support is [...]

Baby, It’s Cold Outside

I thought when you got older you knew all the answers.
Heck, I don’t even know all the questions yet!

(Author – G.W.F. Hegel)
I’ve got a lot to think about right now…
