I’ve got to admit…days like today I consider myself pretty lucky where I work. We had the crew from Marley’s Brewery & Grill in Bloomsburg on this week’s Friday Morning Happy Hour.  How can I complain when apps & beer show up in our studio?

You must check this place out.

Mike served up some killer Crab Dip, Crab Cakes & Chicken with Alfredo Sauce. Wow! I’m still feeling crab-tacular.

And the brews were out of this world. Brew Master Mark says they always have 10 on tap. I especially liked the Octoberfest and the Dog House Double IPA.

CLICK HERE for their menu and brews.

Next time you’re in Bloomsburg, stop in for a visit. And you just might see one of us sipping a cold brew at the bar with a huge helping of Crab Dip in front of us.

Enjoy the weekend!

I’ve always wanted to track my family on one of those “ancestry dot com” things. Here’s why I don’t: I’m afraid I’ll start digging in the family lineage and somehow find some Civil War era black & white photo of a crazy-eyed chick in a Scarlett O’Hara dress with my EXACT FACE……. She’ll be labeled “Crazy Cousin Edna” and she’ll be noted as the “one they had to chain to the wood shed”.

See, that’s what they did with “special” people back then. Whenever they thought you were a little weird (or mentally off kilter), they’d just chain you to something or lock you somewhere. Bam. Gone. Outta site, outta mind.

I submit to you that this is not a terrible system. I think we should reinstate it (hear me out), but only when you’re temporarily ill and you’re being a pansy. I had the supreme displeasure of being stuck with myself in the house for the last two days because I’ve had the flu, and lemme tell ya - I am miserable company! I never realized what my mother (and brothers and father) must’ve went through when I had mono, because even as an ADULT I’m a whiny, pansy-ass baby. Mom used to make me soup and let me set up camp on the couch when I was ill. She’d perch on the edge of the sofa and pat my head as I read comic books and watched Fraggle Rock. I soooo badly wanted to do this yesterday. Instead, I just placed several pathetic, rambly, pointless calls to my mom TELLING her how pitiful I felt, and how I wished she were there. Oooo yeah, I bet she wishes too!

I really do applaud my mom for not chaining me to the wood shed (and not JUST when I was sick). A lesser woman might not have been so patient.

Today, I am pleased to announce that I’m feeling much better! Done being miserable, done being whiny. For the record, NEXT time, you ALL have permission to lock me somewhere. Or inside something. I wouldn’t blame you. Because I am a draaaaaag to be around. I admit it. I own it. I look forward to future generations searching me on ancestry dot com and seeing “Crazy Cousin Lissa” with her femur strapped to a radiator and this confused look on her face. Yep, that should scar my grandchildren for life. And this pleases me. See, feeling better all the time……..

Whoa. My fellow ARMY WIVES loving friends will totally be shocked at this video. Actress Kim Delaney, who plays Claudia Joy, was asked to speak at a ceremony honoring U.S Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Her speech was COMPLETELY scripted – but watch as we SLURS the entire thing and acts totally out of it. Not the Claudia Joy we’re used to seeing. Plus, what was up with her hair? It was all over the place! They eventually STOP her and pull her off stage! She battled substance abuse issues in the past, so people are thinking that might explain her bizarre behavior.

I happened to catch a little of X-Factor last night and THANK GOD I tuned in when I did because I happened to catch this girl sing. She’s 18 and well, incredible. Talk about getting chills. Holy.

Did anyone else catch the premiere of the new show WHITNEY and absolutely LOVE it like me? I was literally laughing out loud, by myself, watching tv. Not very often that happens.

I’m making lists and checking them twice – tonight is packing night! Boyfriend and I leave for vacation tomorrow, so i’ll be off next week. One of my best friends from high school is getting married on Sunday in New Orleans and then we’re hopping on a Carnival cruise from New Orleans on Monday! Looking forward to some fun in the sun . . . with LOTS of sunscreen of course!  :) See ya’ll next Monday! XO

Harvey was a dull man. His personality was often compared to a jar of mayo that’d been left in the sun. Not particularly fond of jokes, never one to laugh out loud, Harvey hated social gatherings almost as much as he hated children and small dogs. Harvey was often in bed by nine and had a strange affinity for khaki pants and ginger ale. He spent most weekends alone, talking to his Lord Of The Rings dolls and playing solitaire (the lame version, not the computer version….which is also quite lame…..)

This is what a boring person’s obituary might look like. This is what I’m afraid they’ll write about me if I ever say no to ANY invitation. For this reason alone, I find it physically impossible to decline when my friends wanna hang out. Lissa, ya wanna go for a run after work? Sure. Lissa, ya wanna go to a movie? Sure. Lissa, ya wanna go lick the all the toilets at Grand Central Station and then dance the watoosie on a homeless guy’s cardboard slab? Hell, why not.

I actually broke the cycle last night and DECLINED an invitation! Three of them, to be exact. I’m VERY proud of myself for doing so. I’ve been feeling like I’m getting sick for the last 3-4 days, so when I got these voicemails yesterday inviting me out for happy-drinky-funtimes, this little voice popped up in my head (sounded JUST like Mom – weird) that said “You don’t wanna do that. You don’t wanna feel like doodyballs tomorrow, do you?”

By the way, my mom would never say “doodyballs”. My conscience is far more ribald than Mother would ever dream of being.

But I am SO proud of myself that I said NO! Cuz I feel good today! No hangover, no scratchy throat, no cottonmouth mixed with remorse. So pleased am I with my exemplary fortitude, that I’m rewarding myself by going out TONIGHT! Haaa………what? Come party with me and my girls at Scranton Hardware Bar! I’ll be the chick in the half shirt with the look of self-satisfaction. SMUG self-satisfaction. Because I have extremely good judgment…… I don’t know why you’re shaking your head right now…..

 Wow!!!  What is it with Mother-in-laws?  Do they even hear the words that are coming out of their mouths?  We could’ve taken calls & texts on this topic for another hour!

Here’s just a few–

–His ex is better for him and prettier.

– She accused me of sleeping with her ex husband!

–When i was pregnant my mother in law said i better not have a boy because my husband already has a son. We had 2 girls.

–She said “Why would you marry an American girl?! You know they’re all stupid, ugly, and slutty!” Gosh I hate that lady…

–My ex-​mother-​in-​law told me there was men’s work and woman’s work and -​ better get used to it

–My mom in law told me a long time ago ‘ Don’t ever call me mom again ‘

–My FMIL was dead set on coming on our honeymoon with us.

–About 6 weeks after our daughter was born my mother in law said “Oh you haven’t lost the baby weight because you know Gina (my sister in law) lost it before she went back to work.”

–Shortly after I had my son I got back into shape in 2 weeks 105 pounds. My mother in law looked at me and said “You look fat.” I could have my own show on her and her comments.

–My mother told my wife not to to get pregnant on our wedding day..too late!

–My mother in law said to me once ” I dont know how you live with him” (her son ) lol

–My MIL said to my husband “Oh…i thought we agreed on a blond?”…awkward!

–When my mother in law saw my engagement ring for the first time she asked my fiance if it was the same ring he used to purpose to his first fiance?

–Out of the blue my mother in law said “How’s it goin hoochie mama?” and I am not even close to being one!
