Lisa C Writes

I have so much time to do some of the other things I love to do other than blogging, it's been wonderful! I love to curl up and read a good book. It doesn't matter what kind of book either. I love romance novels, self-help, erotica, fiction, drama and so on and so on. Well, the other day I was at the library, by the way I don't think I ever mentioned that the reason I started going to the library and not my usual star bucks or the local book store is because they sell way too many sweets so I had to stay away. How else am I going to maintain this hot mama figure. Anyways back to the library. While I was there I spotted a book on my way in that had a very interesting title so I grabbed it up and didn't even read the inside or back cover until I sat down. I do that sometimes, it's a quick way to find books without having to browse up and down the isles or look it up on computer plus it doesn't cut in to my allotted "me" time. The title of the book is,...

Little Joshie (now 18 months) has injured his collar bone. Ok, that's putting it lightly, he actually broke it in half, it split right through. They were all dancing in the den on Friday evening and all of a sudden he just slipped. It caught me by surprise because he's fallen down before and hurt himself, gets up and thinks nothing of it. He's fallen off the bed and just brushes that off too. So I was shocked when this happened because it looked like he just slipped in his socks and landed on the floor. I looked at him for a minute (I didn't want to startle him with a crazy reaction) and then he just started to bawl. I picked him up, calmed him down, held him in my arms and he fell asleep. I thought everything was ok but when he woke up I could see that he was in a little discomfort. I watched him for the rest of the night, kept checking his arm, it just looked like he bruised it and it was sore. That night I gave him some medicine for pain and we went to bed. The nex...

Today is such a beautiful day compared to just a few days ago. It seems as if all we are getting around here is thunder storms and the many warnings that have come along with them. I was at the library on Tuesday enjoying some "me" time when over the loud speaker the librarian said that there was going to be a thunder storm watch in this area. She sounded kind of startled and at the end apologized if she had scared anyone. It didn't scare me or anything just got me to thinking about that F2 that hit downtown Atlanta a little while ago so, I started wrapping up this post so I could get out of there. No less than two minutes went by when she came across the loud speaker again saying, that there is now a thunder storm warning for our area and we are locking the library doors so no one can leave and for every one to please move to the safe areas away from the windows. What? Ok, now I got a little concerned but stayed calm and just did what she said. As I was packing up I no...

Take a look, if you will, in my side bar at the little cute button that says, " I Blog Guilt Free ". I added that button and joined the group of eager bloggers coming together to admit, let go of and unload their desires to actually blog guilt free. I guess, by putting it on paper (in this case, online) solidifies it, huh? What is blogging guilt free exactly? Many of you will have your own answer to that question, here's mine. It means to blog or not to blog at your own will not the will of your readers. This does not apply, however to the many of you who's blog is mainly designed or created to make money. I understand the things you have to do. This applies to the many of us who blog for personal reasons, fun, a refuge, to meet online friends and to voice your two cents in whatever matter you choose. It means, slowing down when you need to or your family needs you to and not allow yourself to feel the pressure to have to be there. It means not feeling guilty if y...

I will laugh at the world. No living creature can laugh except man. Trees may bleed when they are wounded, and beasts in the field will cry in pain and hunger, yet only I have the gift of laughter and it is nime to use whenever I choose. Henceforth I will cultivate the habit of laughter. I will smile and my digestion will improve; I will chuckle and my burdens will be lightened; I will laugh and my life will be lenthened for this is the great secret of long life and now it is mine. I will laugh at the the world. - Scroll Marked VII , The Greatest Salesman In the World

As I'm writing this tears are flowing down my face. I just learned that a dear friend of mine was recently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Her cousin was the one who told me today. I just listened to her as she described the past two weeks to me. Giving me all the details as to what's been happening with my friend. I did find it odd that I hadn't spoken to her in a while and when I called the phone just rang. I didn't think anything of it just that I would talk to her soon. Her cousin described the day after Chemotherapy , my heart ached. I learned that she was told the whole process is going to take 9 months and that in a few months she will be loosing her left breast. I can't believe this has happened to her. I'm well aware that this disease (along with any other) is no respecter of persons and that anyone, anyone can become a victim at anytime. I'm just speechless that it's hit so close to home, you know? I was introduced to her by D. (my ...

Sh*t happens! Unfortunately, communication that's left up to write can be mis-understood and taken in a way it was not intended to be. Even after you apologize, what was done is done! The Story: I have (or should I say had) begun developing what I thought was a beautiful friendship here in blogoland. I'm real about it, I know that "real" friendships take time and are not based on you leaving me a comment and me leaving you a comment type of thing. There is more to it then that. Like exchanging emails for example, adding each other on different social networks, taking it a step further and calling each other or meeting face to face. Oh, the joys of finding friends that you can connect with like that is priceless. Unfortunately as you are working your way there, like I said sh*t happens. I totally goofed up. I mis-understood something in the worse way. So, like the "I'm going to put my foot down" kinda girl that I am I got the whip out and lashed...
