Like a Bad Penny…

( Celebrations and HCFG and POV and Snark and The South and Travel )

… 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, [...]

There’s No Place Like Someone Else’s Home – Part 2

( Clothes and HCFG and His Family and Holidays and Kizmeet and POV and Relationships and Travel )

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 [...]

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 [...]

And We’re Back!

( Life and New York and Travel and Ugh )

We just got back in town over the weekend after a fantastic-fun-filled-trip!
I’m slammed with a boatload of stuff after 10 days away, so please cut me a bit of slack. I promise I’ll be visiting your blogs tomorrow and catch up on all your news.
See you soon!

There’s No Place Like Someone Else’s Home

( HCFG and His Family and Kizmeet and POV and Travel )

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 [...]

Would You Like (Your) Warm Nuts With That?

( HCFG and Holidays and Kizmeet and Mom and Relationships and Travel )

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 [...]

Traveling With The Man – Part 1

( HCFG and His Family and Holidays and Home and Kizmeet and Mom and Relationships and Travel )

After our first vacation as a couple last August went so smoothly, HCFG and I decided to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas together. We also figured that things have been going well enough that we’re at the “meet the parents” stage, (hopefully unlike the movie of the same name.)

Musings From a Lighthouse

( HCFG and Kizmeet and Life and Marriage and POV and Relationships and Travel )

This past August, HCFG and I took a road trip to Maine to celebrate his birthday. We planned a long weekend, but decided to take things at a leisurely pace. The only high pressure thing on the schedule was arriving in Bar Harbor in time for dinner.
We ate lobster until we were ready to pop, [...]

That’s Just So Special!

( Shopping and Summer and Travel )

How you know that you’ve had way too much fun at the outlet malls this summer?
When you have purchased almost all of your holiday gifts before Labor Day.
And I don’t know about you, but that never ever happens at my end.
Until now!
It’s a wee bit scary, actually. Can my inner ugh Martha Stewart be far [...]

Flower Power, Dudes

( HCFG and Music and Travel )

We’re getting it on! Not THAT WAY, you pervs!
HCFG and I are traveling to where Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, Janis Joplin, Santana, and Creedence Clearwater Revival let it all hang out…
Break out the love beads and patchouli oil, cause we’re going to party like it’s 1969! Can you dig it?
Off to get our groove on [...]
