Lisa C Writes

I recently gave in to joining Facebook , another one of these popular social network sites. I was invited to join by my older brother to connect with other family members. This part of Facebook has been very rewarding for me otherwise I would just settle for the once in a blue moon phone call , but we all know that's not really staying connected. That's the good side, now for the other. It has become a major online distraction of my time. With so many things to do, from checking new messages, notifications,friend requests, updates on your friends changes and adding the many applications to your page that allows you to give it it's own unique feel and look. Of course this is merely a little bit of all you can do, I'm still getting my feet wet. This leads me into my invitation. If you are on Facebook let me know and I'll add you and if not go check it out you might find some use for it as well. Just understand, it's highly addictive and if you're not ...

If you're a regular visitor to Lisa C Writes then you probably noticed that we modified the comment system on the blog. We've long been toying with the idea of moving over from Blogger to Wordpress to take advantage of some of the really nifty features Wordpress blogs and plug-ins offer. But everytime we start seriously looking, we get sucked back in to The Blogger Hole by some neat widget that we can add to the blog to make it more functional...and fun. So a couple of weeks ago we stumbled across the Intense Debate comment system. I spent some time checking it out and was really impressed with some of the features they had to offer. I was probably sold when I saw that Dumb Little Man , a popular blog we both read often was using the system. Here's some of what we liked most about ID: It was very easy integration with Blogger. It can be as simple as adding a widget to the page elements in your layout. We had the option of switching the entire blog, including a...

Second place in The Largest Entrecard Giveaway Contest ever!!!! Yesterday I had over 1000 credits sitting in my entrecard dashboard and couldn't figure out for the life of me why I had so many. I haven't had time to drop as much lately, the kids have been a little under the weather. Anyhoo, check out your girl and my second place winning over at Sense to Save .

Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward! Opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. - Walt Disney From the brilliant children's movie, Meet the Robinson's!

The lovely Lakeisha, from KreativeTalk got tagged and thought, why not mossey on over there to Lisa C and add more work to her already full plate! LOL just joking, Lakeisha ;) I love tags!! Down to business, The Rules: *Link the person who tagged you. *Mention the rules in your blog. *The fun part ~ Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks about yourself. *Tag 6 other bloggers and link them. *Leave a comment letting them know you tagged them and that's it! A little while ago I did a tag similar to this one. So will I be cheating if I created a link to that post and save myself some precious time, nope! Before I link to that post I have to say that I'm not looking forward to revealing these weird things about me again. I say if you missed it you missed it, right? Oh well let me suck it up but, no laughing, alright :) You're actually going to get a bonus because I shared 7 things . I'm tagging: Monique , Dara , Tracy , Lady Banana , Angelika , Mimi

Oh yeah!! Lay me on the table, dress me with food that's fleshy and moist, stand there and stare for a moment taking it all in. After that, make your decision about what you want to eat first and where you're going to start. My thighs, tummy, breast, or somewhere more adventurous? The choice is ALL yours ;-) The thought of me laying there being a being a food platter sends chills up my spine. Not because of the draft but from of all the eyes watching and checking up on it, removing all that Sushi one by one. Yes, just how I like it! Ok, so I haven't exactly tried this (yet) but I would loooovvveee to. What's it gonna be, Sushi anyone?

Will S mith This is going to be one of my newest past time posts, Man of the Hour. Naw, let me stop. It's just an excuse to post some of the sexiest Men alive, according to Lisa C that is ;)

I don't care what your boy Charles Barkley might have told you, but when you get paid an insane amount of money for shooting a ball into a hole - guess what, you are a role model! And when you are a role model you can't do stupid sh*t and videotape it for the world to see. You can't do stupid sh*t that will get other (more stupid) impressionable young people killed because they saw their role model do it. Somebody needs to take this dude out back and break him off some common damn sense! Here's the video of Kobe Bryant (not) being a great role model: Here's what happens when impressionable young kids follow immature big kids: Kobe Wannabe Fails At Speeding Car Jump - Watch more free videos Needless to say - Don't try this at home!

Last night, at about 4 something in the morning a conversation with my 6 year old went something like this. "Mommy, I can't sleep. Can you come help me fall asleep?" "Sweetie (me trying to be quiet because Joshy is in my bed), Mommy can't come right now. Just go lay down and try your best to fall asleep." "Mommy it will really help if you came with me." "I know baby but, I'm trying to get some sleep too. Go lay down and count to yourself for as long as you can and then you will fall asleep." "what number should I count to?" "Just count for as long as you can." "OK, Mommy." Minutes later she returns, "Mommy I counted to 100 and fell asleep, now what?"

The lipstick stun gun. This new "personal safety device" is being marketed to women as the "confidence to combat crooks". For the life of me I can't quite understand why it would be necessary to carry around 350,000 volts(!) in your pocketbook - much less why you would want to masquerade it as an innocent tube of lipstick. If you've got the ability to shock the hell out of someone, why not just let 'em know it. Not to mention the potential horrors of accidental usage as an actual accessory. Ladies, I think you need to pass on this one! At the very least be careful - you don't want to end up like this lady !

After some gentle coaxing from my dear hubby, I have decided to venture into this courageous new project for my blog. As many of you already know, my husband is a semi-professional-freelance-master-novice photographer! And as fate would have it , I just happen to be his quintessential-amateur-virtuoso-subject and model! And we have thousands (literally) of photos to prove it! Today we're introducing Lisa SEE's Pic of the Day! - our daily periodic picture post. My love has an incredible eye behind the camera, and always says that a picture can speak a thousand words. So each day we'll add our thousand words, giving you another glimpse into the world of Lisa C. Since almost all of the shots will be of D. behind the camera and me in front of it, you'll get to know us both just a little bit better. There isn't going to be any rhyme or reason to the order we post the pictures. Each day will be a random exposure, often without description, just letting the pict...

My kids just love this song and oh yeah, let's not forget about the movie. They can't get enough of NARNIA ! Now, there's part 2 with new cast member, Prince Caspain , my kids have great taste! Even my 3 year old walks around the house singing and saying little lines from the movie. I must admit, I like the movie and song too. I find myself humming the tune when I'm washing dishes (which by the way, is calming and soothing for me), don't ask. But if you've ever seen the movie Emperor's New Groove (when mom gets wind of some bad news and is just about to go off she quickly calms down and says "I gotta go wash some dishes"), you'll know what I'm talking about. Anyhoo, back to the video. Pump up the volume (if you can), listen and enjoy ~ It's become a favorite. Can't Take It In ~ by Imogen Heap

Failure will never overtake you if your determination to succeed is strong enough.

Who knew that when we won this incredible new camcorder a few years back that it was probably just one of the last of an old model on the shelf. We've found much good use for that camera over the years, and have hours of video to show for it. So when it came time to want to share some of that priceless footage, we thought we'd just hood it up to the computer and....., well not so fast! It turns out our camcorder is not digital (no matter how much we swear that it looks just like one!), and so therefore the simple task of transferring these captures would be quite an undertaking - one we're not quite prepared for...yet. Well you're smart and you have already peeped that little video box just below, so you must know there's more to the story. Ok, maybe we're just a bit slow (or some people should actually start to read the instructions) but we recently discovered that our digital camera can record short video clips. Wow! So we've been playing around...

So just when we thought we had Entrecard all figured out, and were moving up the ranks into the top 20 of our category - Entrecard goes and has a braingasm. If you're an Entrecard virgin, none of this will make any sense to you unless you read Lisa's previous post explaining what this fuss is all about. For those of you who are still trying to figure out what just happened at the EC, let me see if I can summarize. The single biggest change is that the cost to advertise on your blog or website is no longer determined by the number of drops you get from other entrecarders. (It's still important to get those drops if rising to the top of your category is important to you, as popularity will still be determined by the number of drops you receive daily.) Your entrecard cost (the # of credits other entrecarders have to spend to advertise on your blog) is determined entirely by the desire of the EC community to be seen on your blog. Each request to advertise doubles you...

I'm just loving Entrecard !! If you haven't done so already, go get you one. It's easy to sign up and remember when you do stop by and drop one on your girl.

Seen On News.com... Thomas Beatie now, about five months pregnant insists his pregnancy is real and claims he is "perfectly capable" of giving birth - despite years of hormone treatments to make him a male. Beatie will emerge from hiding tomorrow after reportedly striking a deal with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey to appear on her daytime show. "I'm a person and I have the right to have my own biological child," he tells her in an excerpt of the show. He and his wife Nancy, 45, are said to show off his prominent bump on the Oprah show and maintain he is expecting a baby girl in July. "Who hires a surrogate if they are capable of carrying their own child?" he says. Doubts continue to surround the bizarre story, which was revealed in a gay magazine alongside photos of Beatie's growing stomach. Sceptics claim it is a hoax. Doctors, however, have confirmed that Beatie's pregnancy is possible. Although, he legally became a ma...

Sunday night on Oprah's Big Give , Sheg completely missed it!! The family he was supposed to be showing some love to had 28 children!!! Yes, 28. 24 were adopted and 4 were there biological. Who in their right mind adopts 24 children all with special needs . For the most part from what I could tell most of them had Down Syndrome . This couple has certainly got a big heart and love children. They needed the Big Give in BIG way! The family makes it a point to spend every bit of their $ wisely, like only spending $1500 a month on groceries. Can you believe that? That's way cheap for a family that size. We spend around $800 a month for a family of 7. Someone please do the math and tell me what formula she's using, please. Sheg has an opportunity to help them in a BIG way. Do you know what he does - cleans out their garage and spends $500 on food and decorations for a party. You should have seen the look on the moms face, total disappointment. She was probably thinking about the...
