May Day Stealage

May 1, 2010 Written by Lisa

Sunday Stealing: The Question Meme

01) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
Well, *I* think it’s serious but neither Sparkela nor Cookie will return my calls so perhaps I am misguided in thinking this. I’ll let you know later.

02) What was your dream growing up?
To be thin because I believed (mistakenly, as it turns out) that your life is perfect if you are thin.

03) What talent do you wish you had?
I’d love to be able to draw reasonably well. I can barely eke out stick people and have no ability to envision something in my head and bring that vision to life on paper or computer.

04) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
Well, since you asked, I’d love a cosmo, please. That drink just blots out all the crap in my brain and leaves a nice residue of ahhhhh! for me to enjoy.

05) Favorite vegetable?
I like broccoli. And tomatoes. Corn is nice, too. (Don’t make me choose.)

06) What was the last book you read?
All the way through? That’s a toughie since I read a lot of non-fiction and skim through it for stuff that interests me. It probably was “Breaking Dawn” – the last in the Twilight series.

07) What zodiac sign are you?
See #5? I have trouble deciding things. That makes me a very typical Libra. All about balance, I am.

08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.
My ears are double pierced but I never wear the second set. No tattoos but contemplating one in memory of my Goddaughter of Love.

09) Worst Habit?
Singing to my pets. I don’t think they are very fond of it. I make up songs about food or walking up the steps or really anything. I’m pretty sure they put up with me for the treats.

10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
Do you look anything like David Cook or Hal Sparks? How about Jon Hamm? If so, I might be inclined to pull over.

11) What is your favorite sport?
LOVE hockey! Cannot watch other sports now as they are just too damn slow.

12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude?
I am POP-timistic – mostly optimistic for others but at times pessimistic for myself. If you were to hang out with me, I think you’d find me mostly cheerful and optimistic.

13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
I don’t know you but I’m pretty sure I’d look to you to commiserate with me about being stuck.

14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
Losing Lauren to cancer. She was like my own child and best friend wrapped into one and while it’s mellowed a bit now, there’s not one damn day I don’t think of her or miss her so. I can’t wait to see her again when I am on the other side.

15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
Just one? Hmmmm. I can sleep just fine with four cats sleeping on top of me. In fact, I think I sleep better that way than without them.

16) Do you have any pets?
Currently, we have two cats (Lucie and Sophia) and one (healing up from his April chomp) dog named Max. My kiddies.

17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?
I’d be very annoyed. First, I don’t know you and second, I really hate visitors – especially drop-in ones. The house is always a dreadful cluttery mess and I don’t want anyone to see that.

18) What was your first impression of me?
Well, you seem nice but a bit nosey.

19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
I don’t like clowns overly. And most especially NOT Pennywise. EEK.

20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
I’d lose the chubs. Tired, so tired of fighting it.

21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Is it possible to be both? I’d join in on the fun but I’d take pains that we didn’t get in a whole lot of trouble. (There’s that Libran balance thing again.)

22) What color eyes do you have?
The kind that change color if I’m crying or something – they’re mostly hazel/brownish/greenish.

23) Ever been arrested?
No and if I did now it most likely would be for some peace demonstration or something like that.

24) Bottle or can soda?
I think canned soda has a really icky, metallic taste. Much prefer bottles.

25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
Pay off my credit card and send money to my Aunties.

26) What’s your favorite place to hang out?
The couch. Isn’t that sad?

27) Do you believe in ghosts?
Without question. Yes, I do. They don’t scare me unless they are demon ones and then I’ll call in the big boys (Archangel Michael and his crew) to do the heavy lifting out of my zone. So far, have not had that experience and don’t want it.

28) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Fart around. Write. Read. Pet my kitties. Mostly, fart around.

29) Do you swear a lot?
Depends on where I am and who I am with. You know I feel comfortable with you if the F word comes out.

30) Biggest pet peeve?
People who don’t pay attention. Like those who wait until their groceries are all rung up and bagged before they pull out their checkbook or wallet. Yes, you really do have to pay for all that stuff. I’m the kind of person who has the check all written out ahead of time and/or has my debit card at the ready.

31) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Sweet. (And dorky and 12)

32) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
I do but not the syrupy “Schmoopy” kind of thing. When we first dated, Duty would sit on the same side of the booth with me at restaurants. I hated that. HATED IT. I don’t like feeling all crowded in. But I love when he brings me flowers at work and tries to sneak out or when he does little sweet things.

33) Favorite and least favorite food?
Love mashed potatoes and hate liver (although I’ve never had it. The idea of it grosses me out.)

34) Do you believe in God?
Without question. But not the idea of a God who hands out presents to the good ones or punishes you for some sin you committed. I believe in a Universal oneness and we are all a part of that. There are many, many life paths and lessons along the way and we are infinitely supported by the Universe in learning those lessons. Bottom line – I believe in a force greater than all of us. I see it every single day and I am glad to be a part of it all.

I got nuthin

April 25, 2010 Written by Lisa

… but that doesn’t stop me from posting! Oh no it doesn’t! I gots all kinds of disjointed, go-nowhere thoughts such as:

Had baby-holding fail today: went to visit the Godson of Love who really should be re-named “Screamy McScreamerson”, bless his bitty 3 week old heart. I can tell that it’s going to be some work to get in some good holding with him. But, that’s the work of a Godmom, yes? (And he is so damn cute. Button nose and all. I loves him.)

Lunch with good friend Charlie FTW!! We had fun talking and talking and talking on Saturday. I feel like I’ve known him forever and I have, just about. It was such big fun that we are doing it again in May!

Movies from Netfilx I’ve started watching but gave up on:

1. Network – I know it’s prescient and shit and I get that it’s one of “the great ones” but I thought it sucked ass and I made it about an hour in and just gave up. I despised Faye Dunaway in it – I think she won an Oscar for the performance but I really thought it was just fake, fake, fake. Blargh.

2. Capitalism, a love story – I like and respect Michael Moore (I have to, it’s rule number 4 in the “How to be a Good Liberal” Handbook) but this movie depressed the shit out of me. Made it about 45 mins on this one. It just reminds me of how horrid things were/are and I can go down that hole any day of the week.

I dunno. It seems as if the movie is acclaimed and a success, I probably won’t like it. It’s a rare one that gets me to the theatre anymore. I didn’t like “Up in the Air” but that could be due to my intense dislike of smarmy-ass George Clooney. Who knows? I think I should stick to television shows although I gave up on two from Netflix as well: Breaking Bad (first ep depressed me) and The Wire – watched two eps and those left me confused. Maybe I’m not as intelligent as I think I am. Maybe, just maybe, watching American Idol has turned my brain to mush. Hmm, ponderables.

Oh, and I can’t watch any of those hoarding shows either – they don’t do any discussion (or at least not very much) of the pathology of the problem. Intervention gives you good backstory so you know why the subject is into drugs hardcore. (I remember one dude who grew up with a mother who had many miscarriages. She kept the miscarried fetuses in a jar in the closet and took them out from time to time to torture him and his sister. I have to say I cannot blame this man for turning to drugs. That is hellish, isn’t it?) Thing is, I need to know WHY they are doing this hoarding and that is never really answered. Also too, I look around my room and realize that some might think I have a similar issue to which I say NO! I can still see the floor and stuff so shut up with your hoarding interventions and scoot! You won’t find any half eaten cheese sammiches in my bedroom. Just piles of books and clothes. And dust. Occasionally a cat.

Dreams have been hella busy and weird since I got back from the animal essences workshop two weeks ago. Recently, I dreamed I had sex with sekrit boyfriend #2 (Hal) but I didn’t remember it – just remembered he told me about it. Can you imagine how disappointed I was? Hearing about having sex with Hal is not the same at all as remembering the actual sex-having. Damn dreams.

Sunny Sunday Stealing

Sunday Stealing: The Meme Time Meme

01. Real First Name: Queen Lydia of Snorglefoot – what? You don’t believe me? Well, it’s true.

02. Birthday: I haz one. I will not loves the one I’m hazzing this year as it’s one of those “big” -0 ones.

03. Where do you live: In a house. By water. With loves and (somewhat mangled) pets. And internets.

04: What are you studying/What are you working as: I currently masquerade as an operations manager at a financial services firm but most of it involves making sure stuff gets faxed with the right cover sheet on it (TPS reports, anyone?), (poorly) greeting clients as they come in and giving my boss energetic readings of mutual fund wholesalers so he can decide if they should present their funds to the office or not.

05. What makes you happy: Sunny days, my Ipod, holding babies, talking to my guides in Spirit, having kitties nestle in my lap while I’m watching television, finding long-lost friends on Facebook and eating.

06. What are you listening to now/have listened to last: The sound of the electric heater since it’s really chilly and we used up all the heating oil and don’t want to order more.

07. What is particularly good/bad about your blog: Particularly good: My dorky-ass sense of humor and unusual perspective on my life. Particularly bad: I realize I write about what’s going on in my own life so it might seem as if I have no interest in what’s happening outside of that. NOT TRUE, I say! When discussing politics, I tend to get extra-ranty and that messes up the energy of my light-hearted whining. I rant about current world events in many other places online.

08. An interesting fact about you: I almost never sleep sans panties.

09. Are you in love/have a crush at the moment: I’m moving past the honeymoon stage with sekrit boyfriend (into the comfortable stage) and am almost there with other sekrit boyfriend (who does, I admit, feed me a very steady diet of his life so it keeps me amused). So, comfortable loves but no crushes.

10. Favorite place to be: I almost typed “in my own body” but realized how wrong that was because that is my LEAST favorite place to be. Is that changing? Doubtful. Favorite place? By the ocean.

11. Favorite lyric: As always: “Make me fall for you / as if I have nothing else to do / Let me hold you true to everything I thought I knew

12. Best time of the year: Spring (warm days!) and Fall (cool days!)

13. Weirdest food you like: I don’t think I like anything that unusual – I do enjoy pizza crusts and will forsake the rest of the slice to gnaw on the crusts.

RECOMMEND

01. A film: Bridget Jones’s Diary – why? Because I love it and can (and have) watched it eleventy billion times. Bridget is really “every girl” at heart (IMO).

02. A book: “The Shock Doctrine” by Naomi Klein – Have I read it? Not yet – it’s really dense and a big read of a BIG issue.

03. A song: “Straight Ahead” by sekrit BF. Love this one.

04: A band: Oh, I don’t know.

PLUS

01. One thing you like about a blogger that you have not met: I wish I could scratch Gal out of this by having met her but that didn’t work out so I can say this about her: She has one of the hugest hearts of anyone I know. She feels things deeply and quite, quite often goes out of her way to help wherever she sees a need for it. I love that (and a million other things) about her.

02. Two things you like about yourself: I am highly attuned to the feelings of others (even when they try really hard to keep them buried) and take exquisite care not to intentionally hurt them. I’m also a big dork and when I get past my self-consciousness, I let that show. People seem to like that.

03. Name three things that you need in a lover: 1. that your name be David Cook 2. that your name be Hal Sparks and 3. that you be upstairs in my bed waiting for me as soon as I finish this fun meme.

And now, lulz:

Waiting on a baybeh

March 31, 2010 Written by Lisa

The countdown to meeting the Godson of Love is down to the final days and I’m very excited! Duty’s birthday is Friday and he holds out hope that they will be able to share that day. (And I ask you, how sweet would that be? Of course, this from a man who refuses to admit he has a birthday so that’s kind of … interesting.) You know I will be there the minute we get the news because next to my undying love for David Cook and Hal Sparks comes baby-holding and not just ANY baby but MY baby! hehe (I like to leave the hard work to others and I get the fun parts. That’s what being an Auntie is all about!)

In other news, my hair has been cut and colored and is back a wee bit to its natural shade. I know I won’t be able to go back to my formerly raven tresses but a darker brown than I had makes me feel like myself again. Very nice. And, I resumed my treadmilling as I said I would – going Monday and today. Skipped Tuesday for hair fun but will make up for it on a weekend day. I’m still not sure if I will do the 5k walk or just lurk about for sightings of boyfriend.

Speaking of which, he was sent to Africa (along with guitarist Neal) as part of the United Nations Foundation. He sent back a few pics and this one is especially cute. (He’s got that damn hat on again. Don’t say anything. I know.)

I love him muchly.

March 26, 2010 Written by Lisa

Congratulate me, peeps. I made it to the gym and did 30 minutes on the treadmill 4 out of 5 days this week. It would have been a perfect 5 but there was that issue of the forgotten sneakers on Tuesday. Still, I went (even if it just involved floaties) and I’m pleased with myself. Of course, I managed to make it all a moot point because I’ve been snarfing like there’s no tomorrow. Oh well. Soon enough I will figure out what my major deal is and get on track.

Off to watch Hal on Rachel Maddow’s show. Gal, maybe she’ll let him talk a little longer than Joy Behar did! Oh, and Jody, look for a post on PI this very weekend! Thank you for being interested! (HUGS YOU and can’t wait to hear about your upcoming adventure!)
