Thanks to those who jumped into the meme with both feet! I love reading your responses here – YEY for playing along.
Today is an easy one. They get progressively harder. Tomorrow’s gonna be a bitch.
Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.
Hmm, something I love about myself, eh? I love that I find joy in the smallest things. If I see a bluebird fly by, or a baby smiles at me or I have a yummy punpkin spice latte – I can feel the joy all through my body. That’s a neat thing to have. I think that goes with the easily amused part of my personality. It doesn’t take much to make me giggle.
As proof I offer dis:

So, what chu lubs about yourself?

All LOLcats, all the time, right?
Something is awry with my doggie, Max. His tail is tucked way the hell under his butt and periodically he starts shaking for no reason as if he’s scared to death of something. Not sure what the dealio is. He was fine and Duty took him to get his nails trimmed Monday – I noticed the tail-tucking action last night and all day today. He is getting older and is losing his hearing a bit and has a cataract in one eye … just an old, old doggie and I know his health isn’t quite what it used to be. I hope he comes around soon. I haz a big sad about it.
No sads otherwise, though.
* Duty’s health issues are relatively resolved with the placement of stent #2 for his blocked artery. No stories to tell this time, kids. It was easy peasy YEY!
* Appointment with endocrinologist in 2 weeks to see WTF is up with my damn hormones. YEY.
* Trip to Maine coming soon! YEY
* I get to hold my behbeh and be called “Aunt WeeHah” by Luke this weekend. YEY!
What’s the haps out there? I have Google Analytics on this blog and Practically Intuitive and it’s rather disheartening to learn that yes, in fact, I do have but four readers (and I love each and every damn one a’youse!) and lots of spambots and freaks. I don’t publicize this blog much because who else would be remotely interested in my blatherings? My snark isn’t quite what it used to be. Still. Lauren and I always said we’d write no matter who read it (or didn’t, as the case may be) and I shall carry that mission forward. I know she’s reading it on a Kindle in Heaven so I should count her in the total. Officially now FIVE readers!
W00t!

Oh, hello kids! I think I’ve been a neglectful blogger of late and so we must remedy that posthaste! I know you’re waiting on a list of just what’s been the haps around here and I shan’t let you down.
Here we go:
1. Today, after getting my bi-weekly manicure, I will be heading to the world of the “boz-man” aka Peterbella to play and hold and do all manner of fun stuff with Cousin O’gives me babies I can adore. hehe
2. Well pump is fixed and only (!) cost $700 instead of the $5000 we thought we’d have to shell out for a new well pump. That’s a big ass win in my books. Plus, water! We haz it.
3. Dude who’s been ignoring me at work? Still at it. However, *I* have completely stepped into my power and it no longer bothers me. I do wonder what’s up but since I’ve yet to find out, clearly it’s not mine to know. So, I released it.
4, Practically Intuitive is taking off splendidly and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve spent my days at work surfing sites and leaving comments on like-minded blogs and that’s been a wonderful way to meet new people. I spend the other part of the day learning all about “Search Engine Optimization” and how to get your blog out and noticed. There’s a wealth of information on that and lots of people to help so I’m taking what’s there and running with it. Kelly Diels and her partner have a cool service where they review your blog and give you tons and tons of ways to make it better, get it out there, etc. (Called League of Extraordinary Bloggers) They are raising their rates but I got in there under the wire for the old fee which was half of what their new fee is now. I’m excited to learn and grow and get better with this project. (Latest entry: Adventures of an Intuitive)
5. I added E-coaching as a service and already have one sign-up for it and one more who wants to think of what she will focus on and then commit. Wheee! I’m excited by that and the idea came after sifting through blogs and looking at what others are offering. It was a Mommy-blog that had the E-Coaching and I took that and came up with a version for my site. We’ll see how it plays out. I need to sit with my Guides and plot out a process as a basic structure. It just feels like this whole thing burst wide open and that tickles me. Also, I’m learning how to write in a less stream-of-consciousness way than I do here because, you know, people visit the site to learn something and I doubt they’ll care about my sekrit boyfriends or why my cousin hates me. heheh But that’s great because it stretches me as a writer. And you know me: all about the learning and growing.
So, PI has been the big focus this week. It’s been a productive one, that’s for sure. YEY me!
I, Lisa M. Snarkypants, of somewhat sound mind and a bit too much body, do hereby swear to tell the truth, the whole(ish) truth and nothing but the troof, so help me God.
I freely admit the following with the understanding that all this can and will be used against me in a court of law:
1. I spent 65% of my morning at work reading all the True Blood forums at Television without Pity. Even though each episode thread was more than 25 pages long, I slogged through most of them and realized that the bulk of the posts were all about how “hawt” Erik the Vampire is and what a moron Sookie is. But hey, it killed some time.
2. I spent 30% surfing websites for information on spiritual coaching so I could see what kinds of things people are offering out there. Much of it seems to be a lot of words trying to sell you stuff. I’m not fond of that. And clearly, the IN-THING is to write articles that are really devoid of information but give you fluff-filled lists. It’s crap, I tell you. (Much like my little lists here!)
3. I spent 5% doing what little work there was for me to do.
4. I spent most of the afternoon writing a new post for Practically Intuitive and it’s almost finished. What can I say? I got in a flow. Now, must edit said flow. DONE!
So, as you can see, I freely admit that I did just about no work today. Lots of people are out of the office or just coming and going at will. My ass gets paid to sit in that chair and look like I care so that’s what I do. YEY for the Internets!
Also freely admitted:
** I read all the Sarah Palin gossip I can get my hot little hands on. She’s a trainwreck of such massive proportions and I wallow in every single moment of it. I especially like The Immoral Minority because the proprietor keeps it current and has lots of juicy details. I am a shallow person but I cannot wait until Granny Grifter crashes and burns. The fact that she is where she is says more than I wish to hear about our culture and none of it positive.
** I prefer sleeping alone in my king sized bed. I’ve mentioned before that Duty snores like a maniac so he gets to sleep in the other room in the twin bed. Me? Since I’m the Queen, I sleep in the big bed in the big room. I have always slept alone even when I lived with other boyfriends. It’s what I’m used to and I will never be one of those people who cannot sleep without my partner there. (I know. I should live in a monastery, right?)
What else can I freely admit? Few things in my closet fit me. So, there’s that.
That’s all I’m admitting today. In fact, pretend I didn’t write any of this. I plead the fifth. Where’s my lawyer?
I’m wasting what is left of my four day weekend by lamenting the end of my four day weekend. That’s so me, isn’t it?? LOL I did have fun, though. Here’s a smattering of what I did (with some pictures to prove I left the house, even!):
* Did three of the five readings I had to do and got such great feedback, too. One person asked for some mediumistic work (i.e.: contacting a deceased family member) and while I’m not as well versed in that, it worked out fine. She’s a gifted intuitive herself so I was a bit intimidated to read for her (I know, right?) but I should know better. I have a couple more to do, probably this evening.
* Went shopping at Kohl’s with my $10 Kohl’s cash and a 15% off coupon. I didn’t buy the store out but got a few nice items – skirt and blouse for the baptism, some jewelery, two frames etc (all for $51! I rock the discounts!)
* Watched three eps of True Blood and had to kick Duty out of the TV room today. He’s glued to that thing watching all manner of (what I consider) crap. I have a few more to go before I finish the season and the new season starts June 13. I’m psyched.
* Cleaned the bathroom! Woo Hoo!
* Got in some excellent baby-holding with PeterBella this weekend and even had playing time with big brother Luke. I don’t know how Cousin O’Cool (or any mother for that matter) does it. I was exhausted just watching them. Next Sunday is the baptism and I will have to share the babyholding so we got it in early. Even Duty got to hold him. (Wanna see the picture?)
Work has become so S L O W and dreary that I dread going back but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do, right?

This baby LOVES his mama!

On days where the news really gets me down and everyone on all my forums (political or otherwise) are gripey, sad and mean, it helps me to remember all the the things that bring me joy in my life. This isn’t a complete list by any means but just a little sampling to put out for all the world (and my three readers) to see.
Joy is:
+ watching television with LucieCat curled up next to me on the couch, purring her head off
+ seeing my new tomato plants thrive and grow. I talk to them every day when I water them and tell them how pretty they are
+ meeting a new friend who totally vibes on the same wavelength as I do – could have talked with her for hours and hours
+ having lots of eps of “True Blood” on demand, just waiting for me – now if only I can pry Duty away from the big screen tv so I can watch them!
+ visiting all my friends online and reading their blogs (waves to Gal, Sarah and Jenn) – I love seeing how people present themselves in writing
+ listening to the rain
+ chatting with the Guides and Teachers while doing readings for people
+ touching stuff in stores
+ holding my Godson of Love (on tap for today, thankyouverymuch) and just looking at him – what marvelous creatures babies are!
+ getting email from my own Godmommy of Love who loves and hates me at the same time for getting her hooked on Hope’s Cookies (heheh)
So, yeah.
