Lisa Thomas

I have to tell you, I am so glad to be back in East Texas! My family tree runs all through it, from Gilmer to Jacksonville to Troup. I know the difference between a Jacksonville "mater," a Noonday onion and a Gilmer yam! I also eat, breathe, and sleep pop culture and the “at work” lifestyle. Outside of radio, I’m a busy working mom -- proud of my two little ones, ages 10 and 4. They keep me grounded. Time management -- what’s that? I’m just as guilty as the next working mom and I try to get it all done in a day! Calm, cool, and together? That's NOT ME! Bad hair days, lollipop stuck to my bottom, plastic Spider-Man in my purse … THAT’S more like it. I’m also active in Girl Scouting where I lead a troop. I'm also an avid runner, a Sunday School teacher and a Crock Pot aficionado (let's swap recipes). Thanks for having me back and I look forward to hearing from you!

‘Forgotten Cookies': A Lisa Thomas Holiday Recipe

Thank goodness for grandparents! Susie and Jesse are out of school for the week but obviously, mommy still has to work. My mom and dad have lovingly agreed to take them and spend some precious Grandmother/Grandfather time with them this week! As we speak, they are in the kitchen making "Forgotten Cookies" with their adored "Gran-Ann". Anyone ever try these? They are so eas

Lisa Thomas’s Prepared To Run The 1/2 Marathon

Well, it has arrived. This is the week of the Dallas White Rock Marathon. I am running only the half marathon part of it, but it's still 13 point something miles none the less! This all started as a dare over dinner with my new "friend" and another couple...

An Excess Of Halloween Candy

Last night was indulgent. Both my kiddos came away with two pumpkin sacks bulging with goodness. NOW, I remember my mom and dad pulling the old "need to inspect the candy" before you get into it and the end result was all the good stuff went missing. I do not do that to my children. I'm at least honest I make my demands ahead of time.

Is Jessica Simpson Really Pregnant?

I am gong to vote yes! What do you think? I was in Brookshire's over the weekend doing my shopping, waiting in line and catcing up on the gossip that was staring at me in the face. Yes, I feel entitled to read the magazines while I'm waiting in line without paying for them...

Men In High Heels

How did this trend and site escape me! Men in high heels, is it the new black? Really? Seriously ladies, if the man in your life arrived sporting heels, would you even take him seriously? There is an entire site devoted to this trend too...

Photo Bombing

I present to you, Exhibit A. This is not so much a picture of Danile Craig and Rachel Weisz but rather of the bottom behind them. Does she get any credit? Nooooo. I'm sure you've heard of photo bombing. Well this takes it to a new level...

Kelly Clarkson – Make Up vs. No Make Up

Well, who am I to judge. I showed up at work with wet hair and no makeup on Monday. Thank goodness I'm not famous! This is supposed to be Kelly Clarkson without makeup. Doesn't look like her though, or does it? Celebuzz set this up as a SHOCKING PHOTOS of Kelly Clarkson without makeup...

No Candles In Your Pumpkins

Ok, I would have stuck a big fat candle in my pumpkin and never thought twice about it! Good reminder about what NOT to do this Halloween. Darned drought is spoiling all of our fun! I do like the suggestion of using some LED lights...

The Evil Halloween Candy

Dang Diggity Doggonit! I got into the Halloween candy this weekend. I was doing SO good until a dear friend (okay, an evil one) bought me a "Fun Sized" bag of Butterfingers. I swear I had 5 yesterday, but then again, who's counting...

S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

Tomorrow morning at 6a it begins! Kidd's Kids Day 2011! Please make a point (and you do every year!) of stopping by a Burger King in Tyler or a Whataburger in Longview tomorrow from 6a to 9a. I wanted to share this with you as you plan your morning tomorrow. Kidd's Kids are not all special needs kids but they are ALL - S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Please read what the acryonym means after the jump if it we

Exploding Toilet Injurs Woman

Okay, something about the headline just reached out and grabbed me. Can you even imagine? First, the horror of it, then the embarrassment!

A Giant Sushi Roll

I have been craving Sushi for two days now so this story has caught my eye. This mother weights more than 13 pounds! It's also around $200 too and you have to make reservations two weeks in advance for this! Oh, you also have to fly to Japan for it...
