We Don’t Need Your Stinking Carrots!

I was working with my business partner tonight and we were talking about our “regular” jobs.  You see, we hate them.  Not the work.  Nor the people.  Mostly, just the way we are/have been managed throughout our careers.  I’m a smart cookie, but my job has been fairly dead-end for the past 5 years.  I…

Terrible Two-sey, Lucy

So, I mentioned the move.  What I didn’t mention was Lucy.  She has been having some problems lately with her behavior.  Super clingy, always super pissed when we leave, etc.  But this really takes the cake. On moving day, I had planned for Lucy to have a little quiet time in her crate.  One, to…

Moving Day

Well, the big day has come and gone, and it was a pain in my ass, as expected.  Friday night, I ended up getting pretty sick, and was up all night puking.  Blech. I will say that I am very fortunate to have some awesome people who came to help out with the move.  Because…

Confessions of a Packrat

My name is Liz, and I am a packrat.  Maybe even a bit of a hoarder.  I came by this behavior honestly, as both my parents (and grandparents aplenty) are packrats.  I am sure that my grandpa qualified as a true hoarder, as you couldn’t get through his garage without a flashlight and a map….

Life with Lucy

So, I am totally a dog person.  Nothing (much) against cats, but they just aren’t for me.  Oh, I had several in college because it is MUCH easier to sneak a cat into an apartment than a dog.  But, given the choice, I will choose the dog. The Knight and I now have one baby…

Taking Back the Playground – Part 1

I co-wrote this article with Dr. Susanne Gaddis, The Communications Doctor, last year but know that bullying is such a prevalent topic right now and I wanted to share it again. TAKING BACK THE PLAYGROUND (PART 1): COMING TO TERMS WITH THE BULLY IN YOU Alright, here’s what nobody wants to admit- there’s a little…

Movin’ on Up

So, if you are a long time reader of my blogs, you will know that I HATE moving.  Unfortunately, I seem to do it about once a year.  Last year, my roommate gave me about 7 days notice that she was buying a house and that I would need to find somewhere else to live. …

The Power of Perception

Perception is a funny thing. An act or behavior, in and of itself is rarely a positive or negative thing – it all depends on the perception of the receiver. I’m sure you have seen many times that someone will say something and one guy is laughing his head off, while the other guy stabs…

There’s a Fine Line Between Drive and Psychosis

That is usually where the meds are administered. I have been thinking a lot lately about dreams.  Not some Freudian dream interpretative crap, but your aspirations – your wishes.  Have you really thought about what you want to be when you grow up? When I was little, I used to dream about becoming a Marine…
