Think Elvis, blogger buddies, ducks, and kick ass barbecue.

Howdy From the Flood Zone

( Ally da Pup and Mom and POV and The South )

If I never see a drop of rain again, it will still be WAY too soon. Enough already! Texas has been practically underwater for the last month. We have had flash floods every single day since I’ve been here, (over a week,) and usually twice a day. And there was a ton of rain in [...]

Just Shoot Me Now

( Exercise and Guilty Pleasures and Mom and Music and POV and The South )

After finding the top button on my jeans a WEE bit tight after my fast food extravaganza trip, I decided to get on the treadmill. Mom has an old one in her home office that still works nicely, so I decided to give it a go. The treadmill also happens to face a mirror.
It was [...]

Lisa’s Adventure Part 2 – Drive Til Ya Drop

( Ally da Pup and Bloggers and Mom and POV and The South and Travel )

Well we made it. Two and a half days of driving later we’re finally here. We arrived yesterday about an hour ahead of a flash flood.
Where is “here” you ask?
THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS!
Yes I’m finally giving it up, folks, Yours Truly is a Texas Gal!!!
I’m still not sharing the city though.
No whining! Hey, [...]

Lisa’s Big Adventure

( Ally da Pup and Friends and Mom and Music and POV and The South and Travel )

Well I’m about to go on the road again.
But this time there’s a bit of a twist.
I’ve decided to give plane travel a giant pass I’d rather have a root canal this time around and try something different. So, without further ado…
I’M GOING ON A ROAD TRIP!
I’m not just whistling Dixie here, my friends – [...]

Reflections On Father’s Day (Revisited)

( Dad and Life and POV and The South )

From two years ago…
I’ve been feeling down the last couple of days and have not really been sure why. Just a kind of disconnect somehow. Anyway, I have been thinking about it and suddenly a light bulb went off in my head. FATHER’S DAY. One of my least favorite holidays since my Dad died. [...]

Even More Conversation With Mom

( Coffee and Mom and POV and The South )

When I visited Mom, we had to go on an early morning errand. As I majorly overslept, I didn’t have time to make coffee. And it’s no secret that I don’t function well without my java fix! Mom needed to visit the ATM before we left and there was a Starbucks next door. She offered [...]

Plane Karma

( POV and Sarcasm and Snark and The South and Travel )

Warning: Mommy Bloggers please step away from the computer. This post will probably piss you off. Thoroughly.
Saturday I flew back from The South. The last few weeks had been rough and I just wanted to chill on the flight. I had my iPod, a trashy summer beach read, and some munchies. I was all set. [...]

Yet Another Conversation With Mom

( Home and Mom and Snark and The South )

After our annual Tea Party ended, Mom and I dished about the event.
Mom – “It was a lovely party this year wasn’t it?”
Lisa – “Yes it really was. Everything just came together and worked.”
Mom – “It’s always hard to predict when that’s going to happen.”
Lisa – “Very true. You owe me one by the [...]

Are We Having Fun Yet?

( Friends and Health and The South )

I need to scream.
At the top of my lungs.
Where no one will hear me.
Unfortunately it’s not possible.
Might I just say major illness, hospitals, and every single bit of crap that goes with it BLOWS GOATS.
And it’s really hard to stay positive when I’m feeling this stressed.
But I have no choice. None at [...]
