Sunday Stealing: The Tell Me About Yourself Meme – like you don’t know eleventy hundred things about me, right? And like you care, moreover. Still, you’re the one reading so I may as well blog on, baybee.
1. When is your birthday?
October 22 – and speaking numerologically, here’s what they say about yours truly:
You possess a great talent for creativity and self expression. Many writers, poets, actors and musicians are born under the 3 Life Path. Lisa, you are witty, possess a gift for gab, and savor the limelight. This is so true, innit? Yeah. I know.
2. Where were you born?
Baltimore MD – I have only ever lived in two states: MD and VA – I get around.
3. Where do you live now?
On the MD Eastern Shore – it’s a tiny little town right on the Chesapeake Bay. It’s nice to be able to see water any time I want.
4. What is your heritage?
My mom is 100% Italian, my dad 100% Irish so I’m 50/50 but the only part of my Irish heritage that shows is my undying love for potatoes. The rest? All Italian – passionate, animated, warm and emotional.
5. Tell us about a weakness.
More accuracy from my numerology report: You are emotional and vulnerable. When hurt, you withdraw into a cloud of silence, eventually emerging from your reticence with jokes and laughter that cover up your true feelings. You can become moody and cynical when depressed
6. What’s a goal that you’d like to achieve?
I have several but if I had to pick one I’d like to achieve in 2010, I’d love to have actual paying clients for my woo-woo practice – be it readings or coaching, it matters not.
7. What is the most overused internet phrase?
I just read some post today that “Whatever” remains the most annoying phrase – don’t know about an internet one, specifically. However, I do like that sometimes it’s almost as if everyone is in on the same joke across the internet.
8. What was your first thought this morning?
“Oh geez! What time is it??”(How’s that for early morning mental gymnastics?)
9. When do you usually go to bed?
Depends but usually somewhere between 11pm and 11:30pm, most days.
10. Do you smoke? If not, did you ever?
I have not ever smoked ANYthing – no cigarettes, no pot – nothing. Both parents smoked and it just seemed like a really icky habit.
11. Do you (or did you) get along with your parents?
I got along famously with my dad (he died when I was 15) – he just “got” me in a way no one else seemed to. As a child I was close to my mom but then, as I got older, we really struggled with things for a long time – mostly I was trying to be my own person rather than an extension of her. It took me moving almost 3 hours away to be able to start doing that. In the last years of her life, we made peace with each other. There is no question that she loved me with all her heart and soul. I felt that always (and still do).
12. How often do you drink alcohol?
Not very often but I sure do like doing it. I’m a very cheap date so give me a glass and a half of wine or one cosmo and I’m having the best time evah!
13. Have you ever tried drugs (that weren’t prescribed)?
Hi, my name is Lisa and I’ve never ever done any illegal drugs. I am really, really boring like that. But oh, I’d love to try Ecstasy! Man, I’d be happy and rubbing on people and whatnot. Or maybe speed because I’d be thin AND have a clean house.
14. Have you ever gone skinny dipping? If yes, do tell.
Hi, my name is Lisa and I am probably the most boring person in the world – what’s that Adam Ant song? “You don’t drink, you don’t smoke, what do ya do?” LOL Short answer: no
15. If given the choice, how would you like to die?
At 84, asleep after I’ve said all my goodbyes. How peaceful is that?
16. What did you want to be when you grew up?
A lawyer or a journalist. Yeah, angel communicator wasn’t high on the list at that early age.
17. Have you ever been dumped?
Who hasn’t? My first boyfriend broke up with me when I had laryngitis. Nice, hey? I cried, threw the phone against the wall, and stayed in my dark bedroom for two days. Dramatic? Me? Nah!
18. What’s on your pizza?
Pepperoni and mushroom is good but I am also fine with a plain cheese pizza.
19. Have you ever shoplifted?
I plead the fifth on this one. If I did it (/OJ Simpson), I was very young and a moron.
One of my friends from “Cooklandia” sent this along in a tweet yesterday and I had to laugh because it’s so her:
Making cake in turkey-shaped pan. Batter did not rise enough and now have cake with no turkey head. Is this too disturbing to bring 2morrow?
*HEH* Why does this seem like a creation that would come out of MY kitchen? I’d never worry if it would disturb my family though. We have seen it all, pretty much. Headless turkeys do not scare us.
And now … things for which I am thankful this day:
1. Four shows and one 5k walk in the cold rain later, I still adore David Cook just as much as always. When I see some of the shenanigans others from AI are up to (talking to you, Lambert), I am thankful Dave took and keeps taking the higher road. (Plus the arm porn has only gotten better!) He’s a keeper for sure.
2. Speaking of keepers, The Gal keeps her #1 SnarkyFan crown for yet another year. Thank you for always leaving me a comment or two. It keeps me from feeling like I’m blogging into the abyss.
3. A job – despite my hours being cut, responsibilities being increased and some aggravating new people, it’s a blessing to have a job at all these days. So much crap has gone on in the financial markets and it’s sad that the actions of a few impact so many. The financial consultants I work with (and the firm, actually) have a great deal of integrity and really do their best to assist their clients. I’m glad to be working and working THERE.
4. Successful integration of Sophia into the real world downstairs. Even though she and Lucie occasionally have words, they get along fine for the most part and it makes me feel better to have her downstairs with all of us.
5. My family, who has had a year full of tribulations to handle. I sincerely hope 2010 treats them all more gently. Also, too – they love me even though I am a horrendous hostess and mostly wish everyone would allow me to sit quietly in a corner and read while they have their little party. I’m glad they understand me.
I’m a lucky girl with a nice life. And I know it.

A nap might be fun. It’s rainy again and a good day for curling up with one of the eleventy hundred books I have surrounding my bed and just read and drink coffee and nap. At least I have a four day weekend coming up to do that all I want, right?
(Reminds self to eat lightly for next 24 hours so self doesn’t feel icky from all the mashed potatoes and dressing self plans to ingest at dinner tomorrow. I couldn’t care less about turkey but MPs and dressing? MMM! And pie! MMM!)
Apparently, my coach thinks I need to work on integration and whatnot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ve got tons and tons of information bulging out my ears but have a much harder time bringing it down into the physical. For some reason, she thinks doing puzzles would be a good exercise for me. Alrighty.
I’ve never done a puzzle in my life (for reals!) so I went to the dollar store and got one – 150 pieces. Piece of cake, right? Uh no. I spent 30 minutes last night and got all of 20 pieces together before I couldn’t stand it and had to bail. And yes, I know this is why she’s having me do the actual puzzle. I will note that it was an interesting meditative experience because while I was doing it, my mind wasn’t wrapping around itself being all spazzy. Perhaps there’s something to this after all. (She’s a WONDERFUL coach.)
I did four readings last night for people and sent them off. The Guides were hella chatty too. I’m always interested in seeing how each person’s Guides come through. One person’s was really forceful – they were adamant that she stop procrastinating and JUST DO IT already! She seemed to know exactly what they were talking about and perhaps that was the nudge she needed. I could do these all night but then I get really up in the high vibrations and it’s hard to come back down and go to sleep. I closed my eyes at 11:15, woke up again at 11:25 and was awake until almost 1am. Ick. That won’t do.
No readings or puzzles for me tonight – it’s all about the hair! :-) That usually takes about two hours so by the time he leaves (yes, the guy who does my hair comes to my house because I am just that special), I don’t have a whole lot of time to goof off. I think I will need to do the readings earlier in the evening.
That’s all for now, kids!
… when my Guides talk, I listen. (Two people will get that joke – The Gal being one of them)
I woke up yesterday morning with a very clear mandate to offer free intuitive readings to my friends on one of the forums I frequent. A woo-woo chum and I did this last year ’round about this same time (coincidentally, not so much) and all told we did about 60 of them. They were short intuitive “hits” and we got such great feedback on it. What really hit home for me was how good *I* felt after doing it. There’s nothing I like more (well, almost nothing [wink]) than getting in that space where I do my best and clearest work. It’s the kind of feeling when you’re in the flow and things just come to you.
Anyway, so far I’ve got about 30 readings to get started on (tonight!) and am also offering this to anyone out there who want to take me up on it. Click on the EMAIL ME button up there on the right to send me an email about it. You can ask a specific question or you can ask for whatever Spirit wants you to know now or anything else of your choosing. It’s entirely up to you.
The offer runs through Friday so think about it if you want and drop me a note. The only thing I ask in return is that you pay it forward somehow. That’s entirely up to you and you don’t have to tell me about it or anything. The angels trust ya. (Me too!)
Sunday Stealing: The Party Mummy Meme
1. Name someone with the same birthday as you.
My evil twin, Liza. I wish she’d get another day because she gets all the attention, gifts and balloons.
2. Where was your first kiss?
In the woods with Billy Miller – when I was 6. I loved him. Why my parents were allowing six year old me to go traipsing around the woods alone with a kid named Billy is one of my life mysteries. (The other is why my mother let my blind father vacuum.)
3. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex? If yes, why?
Does slugging in jest count? No? Well, then I plead the fifth.
4. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people? When?
No and you’re welcome. I know that the one time I’d do karoke would be immortalized on the YouTubes for all the world to laugh at. Next thing you know, there’d be a cult following and would just be a mess.
5. What’s the first thing you notice about your preferred sex?
Do you mean person of the preferred sex? (Look how PC that question is phrased!) – Going by the men I find most attractive, it’d be sense of humor. (Eddie Izzard, Jon Stewart – not known for their suave good looks.) After that, well, I like a good cheek (as George Costanza would say).
6. What really turns you off?
Smoking and associated smells, loudness and rude people
7. What is your biggest mistake?
That’s a tough one. I have lots of mistakes, like everyone else. Biggest? Going back to eating sugar after my gastric bypass surgery. I was off it completely for over six months and then bit by bit I went back to it and it’s been an uphill battle ever since.
8. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?
No, I’m not into physical pain. It makes me so so so sad when others do it. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain inside them that would compel them to do such a thing.
9. Say something totally random about yourself.
My pajamas say “Kiss Me” and I wish someone would!
10. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
Just the blind man on Main Street and I’m not sure he’s a good judge.
11. Do you still watch kiddie movies or TV shows?
No. I could barely stand them when I was a kid.
12. Are you comfortable with your height?
Yes, just tall enough to reach stuff on a shelf. Bonus: when I wear heels, I get magically taller and am imbued with many great talents as well.
13. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you?
My 17 year old boyfriend Bob wrote me a love letter in French (I had to get the French/English dictionary to translate it. He was a much better French student than I was and really just a dream teenage boyfriend.) I tend to see the romantic gesture in lots of things so it never has to be anything big.
14. When do you know it’s love?
When someone loves you “just as you are”, to quote a line from Bridget Jones’s Diary.
15. What’s something that really annoys you?
One thing? Just one? Damn. I’d say ignorance. If you don’t know what something is, find out. Like those dumb ass emails people send out that have been debunked fifteen ways to Sunday by Snopes.com – if you are going to pass it on, check out the information you are sending out and see if it’s true.
Hell, back in my day, we had to drag our collective ass to the library. Now, you can just turn on the old laptop and Google it and within a few seconds, you’ve got all the info you need. There is no excuse for sending out crap like that. I don’t care what it’s about.

(Found this over at Coopernicus and cracked up. I’m gonna have to add it to my sidebar soon.)
Been getting lots of info come through from my angels, kids. Not sure what to do with it all but come through it does. And yes, I am making note of it all.
