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…
Read more2031: Whoop!
Yesterday, I broke 2,000 (2,031 to be exact) hits on this blog since I started it back at the end of November 2010. I am so thrilled that people are enjoying what I have to say! I would love to hear from more of YOU!! Comment, people. You are commenting to me on Twitter and…
Read moreTaking 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…
Read moreMovin’ 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. …
Read moreThe 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…
Read moreThere’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…
Read moreForgiveness, not Forgetness
I have always heard that we are supposed to forgive those for the crappy things they do to us. I pretty much thought it was a crock of shit. You see, in my mind, forgiving someone was like saying, “Well, it is ok that you did this shitty thing to me… so go ahead and…
Read moreMake It Happen, Sister
This is a phrase I use with my 3 year old niece all the time. So much so, that she has started quoting it back to me! Cute, I know. A lot has been going on in my princessdom of Liztopia in the last few months. I started a photography business on the side to…
Read moreIn or Out
I spent the majority of my life trying to be whatever I thought people wanted me to be. The perfect daughter, student, friend, girlfriend, wife… you name it… usually to my own detriment. Because it is hard to change who you are. Exhausting, really. Plus, the downside is that you don’t really know who YOU…
Read more3 am
I don’t know why, but I seem to wake up at 3 am every day. Usually, I can roll over and fall right back to sleep. Sometimes, it requires a quick trip to the bathroom, but then right back to sleep. Today – nothing. I seem to be wide awake. It is really frustrating, because…
