Lisa’s Take on Life: Don’t Let the Past Rob the Future

Company

Posted by: thelizardlady on: March 27, 2009

These guys supervise my work, and keep my company.  They even give hugs and kisses.  Who would have guessed it?

Redheads

Posted by: thelizardlady on: March 26, 2009

So, the other redhead in the house decided to visit with me while I was working.  I have a built-in camera on the computer.  I got a picture of the two of us while we sat together (he seems to not want to leave).  I’m dressed for painting, so I’m not looking glamourous, but that’s [...]

Do Looks Matter?

Posted by: thelizardlady on: March 25, 2009

It was first grade when my classmates told me I looked like George Washington, just because I wore my hair in a braid.  And for the two years I still lived in that town, that name followed me everywhere I went. The next town, where I lived for five years, they called me “Lisa Pizza [...]

Thomas Paine

“These are the times that try men’s souls.”  That was political, back at the founding times of our country.  But I think the words apply to all of us at various points in our lives.  Anyone who goes through life unscathed, without personal challenges, runs the risk of being a person of weak character. It [...]

Spring

Posted by: thelizardlady on: March 21, 2009

Happy Vernal Equinox to everyone. It’s finally starting to smell like spring, too.  There are some warm days earlier in the season that are just warm days.  But once the smell is there, you know it’s spring.  Spring has a smell.  Fall has a smell.  Summer is a potpourri of smells.  Winter?  Just dead.  But [...]

Wondering

Posted by: thelizardlady on: March 19, 2009

So, I had a boyfriend once (really, I did! I’m not even kidding), and he told me that men are turned on by women in work and painting clothes.  I do a lot of work in the house (not that you could tell if you were to look today…), and once in a while I [...]

If they could see me now…

Posted by: thelizardlady on: March 17, 2009

My doctors, that is. They would be convinced I was abused.  After the dog got me today, I really look bad.  But nobody sees me, so it’s all good.  Bandaids® on the hand aren’t so unusual, but I do look like I’ve been beaten. And on that note, I’m off to move some more big [...]

Votes are tallied

Posted by: thelizardlady on: March 16, 2009

Blue has won by a resounding margin. I had one vote for “use both” and one for “definitely purple” (from someone who lives and breathes purple), and every other vote was for the blue (even my boss’s rabbit selected blue, or at least my boss told me that). I’ll post pictures when it’s all done, [...]

Opinions sought

Posted by: thelizardlady on: March 15, 2009

I’m looking for opinions on the picture below. The lime color is the color of my office walls, or the color they will be.  It is extremely limey, I don’t pretend it’s soft and subtle. The blue and purple are leftover paint from other projects. I’m wondering if one of the two would work to [...]

Do-It-Yourself

Posted by: thelizardlady on: March 14, 2009

I think “do-it-yourself” is a euphemism for “hideously slow progress.”  If you hire someone to do Job A, they come in and do Job A.  If you attempt Job A, you get 1/3 of the way into it before you realize that really, you should do Job B before you finish Job A, because it [...]

  • renaterebecca: Indeed, spring does have a smell. I'm so happy it is finally smelling like spring ! It is also great to wake up and hear some birds sing!
  • My Camera, My Friend: I love the morning you first walk outside and smell spring. It's so wonderful.
  • local puppies for sale: dogs can make a house a home. they are great companions and if you only have one child at home a dog can be a playful buddy for you and your family. I
