Should Lucie have her own Facebook page?

July 23, 2010 Written by Lisa

I saw this on FAILBlog and had to laugh. Then I wondered if I should make Lucie a FB page. Following that, I pondered what became of my life.

So, yeah. My life. What of it, you ask? Gal, thanks for the reminder to chill like P. Diddy-Boz. I needed that reminder so thank you, Angels, for sending your message through someone I always listen to. Spazziness is down to the usual amount, newsletter is ready to be sent, just got a referral to do a reading for someone so life is peachy. Oh yeah, and floaties in the pool today. All in all, a good day.

More after Luke’s awesome 3rd birthday party tomorrow. I got him a toy guitar (Duty says he will disavow any ownership of that gift and sends his sympathies to the parents) and a cute chef outfit. (Cousin O’Cool suggested that one – little chef hat and jacket with nifty kid sized utensils. Too precious for words.) So, it’s present opening, cake and of course, Boz-holding. I’m excited!

Alive – mostly

July 6, 2010 Written by Lisa

Hello FOUR readers (waves to Niece of Artsy-Fartsy who informed me of her diligent readership),

Just in time to go back to work, I am kicking this cold (finally). It takes a lot of work for me to even remotely stay in my damn body and being sick doesn’t help at all. Last night, though, I had the best night’s sleep in almost a week so I think we are good to go now.

J4 was nice even though I took a powder in the middle of it. I went upstairs to pet the kitties (who stayed out of the way of a 3 year old running around the table saying “Meow, meow” at them) and totally dozed off on the bed. I didn’t sleep long -maybe 30 minutes – but missed Cousin O’Love and family’s exit from the party. I think they left in a stealth fashion, if you ask me. heh Everyone else seemed to have fun, from what I can tell. It KILLED me not to hold PB (or, as they call him P. Diddy) and I tried to stay somewhat away from him. (Sobs into pillow)

I have never, ever been one to be uber-patriotic, despite my interest in politics. Just not. I have a funky issue with the need to be “the best country ever ever ever” – why can’t we just be the best America and respect the contributions of other countries as well? Why must we be the “superpower”? Hell, we can’t even take care of our own citizens and our health care system is, what? 34th in the world? That’s sad, y’all. Just sad. Maybe it’s the non-competitor in me but that whole” MUST be the best” rubs me the wrong way. I don’t care about fireworks, flag waving or anything else like that.

Well, it’s back to work for me. I got the written report of my chat with Kelly & Dave so there’s lots of meaty stuff to dig into over at PI plus must do drawing for the winner of the reading for joining my newsletter. Speaking of which, I best get on that, yo. OY! So much to do. I love it. heh

Happy Tuesday – it’s gonna be near 100 degrees today and tomorrow with no rain in sight. Summer is well and truly here.

Much love and cookies,
Snarkela

A fun four day weekend

May 31, 2010 Written by Lisa

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?

Friday Flailing

So, yeah. It’s (almost) Friday. I’m glad. Maybe this week of WTF will be at a close. The only good thing I can say is that I have done 15 mins on the bike each day. Duty just had to shame me into it once.

On the dissonance front: it continues. However, after lots of chats with my guides and input from friends here (thanks Jody and Gal) and from my woo-woo buds at Democratic Underground, I’m going with this possibility: It’s their weird shit to deal with and I’m just the one noticing it. That works for me. Duty gave me some advice when I was whining about it last night: Let it go. And while that’s not my preferred way of handling things, it IS something new for me so I’ll try it.

I’m using my copious down-time at work to write a post for PI on ceding authority to your Guides in Spirit and how they wouldn’t let you do that anyway. It’s a response to Rose’s post where I talk about what my experience has been in that arena. I’m also practicing my own self-authority by not worrying if people think I’m a slack ass or not and giving thanks that I have a job where I have lots of independence. I’ll let you guys know when the post is up (probably this weekend).

And one last comment: Since I fell in love with sekrit boyfriend, anyone else after that seems so fake. I think my heart is closed to all but DC and HS (and I’m not even sure how Hal managed to get in there! Brains, arm porn and humor carry a lot of weight with some chicks. heh) Watching Idol is so lame, even *I* don’t know why I’m doing it. Poseurs, all of them. But not my cookie!

Happy Friday to my blog buddies! I luf you all!

Rainy Friday

March 12, 2010 Written by Lisa

Bits and pieces of flotsam and jetsom:

1. American Idol sucks hard this year. Despite all appearances, I don’t usually follow this show. I don’t! Why won’t you believe me? (cough*davidcookinfatuation*cough) But like I said earlier, I’m in need of a shared experience so I am watching and twittering along with my Cookie pals (and some others) while watching. Trainwreck, y’all. It’s badddd. I really thought Ellen would add to the season by sharing the performance aspect since that’s her experience but nope. She’s the non-loopy Paula. Randy? Still f’ing useless. Dag. I despise that man for being a punk ass chump. Kara embarrasses me as a woman (honey, get some help, please) and Simon is just Simon and he’s the only opinion anyone cares about. I joined a pool and last night totally blew myself out of the water by gaining just ONE point out of twenty. Yeesh. (And yes, I will still watch. It’s not like I have a life or anything.)

2. Decluttering starts this weekend! My friend Christine is coming over to help me get a spine and throw some stuff out and/or give it away. Doing Duty’s room first because it’s the room where various and sundry peeps have “lived” and I’ve just thrown random crap all over it. Time to get some of it gone.

3. I need to get my ass in gear re: Practically Intuitive. I’ve been farting around for a month or so and haven’t updated it or done much to publicize it. I did, however, order preety business cards! Woot!

4. Muse is apparently wrapped up in something of which I know not and I think I’m gonna have to figure out how to be creative even when they are not around. Always lessons in the absences, yes?

5. My two year old self (code name: Beezus) is definitely throwing a tantrum. Need to figure out why. Pretty sure part of it is because her playmate (see #4) has poofed for a bit and she’s sad. (Gives her a hug and reminds her to keep walking and know that they’ll catch up. Always have.)

6. I wanna go on vacation like half my damn office – one’s in the Bahamas, one’s in New York, two are in Florida, one is in Wyoming – sheesh. And here I sit thinking about decluttering. This is the life, kids.
