  • Navigating December

    By Lis, on Mon Nov 24, 2008 12:17pm PST

    Managing the holiday season takes nothing short of mastery and skills I've prided myself on having for some time now. I've wiggled my way out of invitations, slid out of slippery dinner talk with a smile, even threw in a couple of low blows myself without looking like the bad guy.... Read More »

  • Why?

    By Lis, on Wed Nov 12, 2008 11:36am PST

    Why does it always work out that you use your sick days for issues that need to be taken care of, family, sick children, other issues, but now that I'm sick myself I can't afford to take anymore days off for awhile??? WHY!!!!
    I can feel my annual sinus infection coming on.... Read More »

  • He's Your President Too!

    By Lis, on Mon Nov 10, 2008 11:54am PST

    To all the naysayers, those who still want to believe the hype instead of the truth, to you I remind you of one line in particular from President Elect Barack Obama&#39;s speech on Nov 4th&nbsp; -&quot;...I am your president too!&quot; <br>Whether you like it or not, whether... Read More »

  • Say Something!

    By Lis, on Tue Oct 28, 2008 12:43pm PDT

    Over the past few months I've become a big CNN convert. I watch Rachel Maddow and Keith Oberman most every night they're on. This political race has truly fed the news junkie in me with enough material to feed my addiction. I think I'll have serious withdrawal on November 5th no matter who wins!...

  • Converts Left & Right!

    By Lis, on Thu Oct 16, 2008 8:21am PDT

    I'd decided early on that I wouldn't be watching the third debate. The first two had left me non-plussed and I'm not an undecided voter anyway. That plus the fact that I didn't want to miss the finale of Project Runway! (gotta have those priorities in order, right?) So I flipped back and forth... Read More »

  • Our Need To Love

    By Lis, on Mon Oct 6, 2008 11:32am PDT

    While going through my email I saw this quote, "Great indeed is our need to love" —Julia Hartwig. I thought that it was truly a fitting and most moving quote! I've been talking to a few people today about how I quickly got over my need to feel included with the cool kids. I never... Read More »

  • Celebs Out of Touch

    By Lis, on Thu Sep 25, 2008 8:06am PDT

    While on my way to work this morning I was listening to my fav morning show. The dj announces that a artist with a new album will be on in just a few minutes. I'm excited, I think, because I like this guy. His songs are always so nice and mellow, not full of language that sometimes doubles as an... Read More »

  • Are You You?

    By Lis, on Mon Sep 22, 2008 12:22pm PDT

    Ever know someone who, when in a relationship, all of a sudden becomes someone else? They turn into someone who suits their significant other, instead of remaining who true to themselves? I once had a friend who was famous for conforming to her man's ideal image of a girlfriend. I always wondered...

  • Excitement!

    By Lis, on Thu Sep 11, 2008 12:41pm PDT

    It doesn't take much to make me happy. These days the littlest things make me smile. I'm soooooo excited about a new venture. One of my indulgent hobbies is jewelry making. I enjoy it immensely and thank goodness I am engaged to a man who supports my hobby completely! Now I'm about to pass that love... Read More »

  • Be You!

    By Lis, on Mon Sep 8, 2008 11:32am PDT

    I've recently been in a sometimes heated debate (online) with a couple of people whose politics differ greatly from my own. At first I thought it was nothing more than a healthy exchange of views until it turned quite nasty and rather harsh after one person brought race and religion into the... Read More »
