Happy Birthday Mom

My mom would have been 54 today.  Just going to post some more pictures of her today.  (If WP will cooperate)

Mom and God and Blessings

Lisa | March 9, 2010

So my last post was about my mom going into hospice, and I haven’t been back since.  I had been at the hospice nearly every day since she went in.  We were able to talk a little, finalize some plans, cry, hug, reminisce.  Mom passed away on Sunday, February 28.  I feel a wide range [...]

None of my favorite things

Lisa | January 21, 2010

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, then you know my mom’s cancer is back.  With a vengeance.  I spend most of my time at the hospital (well, now the hospice) and it’s both soothing and stressful to be there.  I like being there because I am waiting for those few minutes of lucidity [...]

Revelations and Resolutions and Requests

Lisa | January 2, 2010

Even beginning this post is such a huge step and I realize that.  Anyone who knows me on a basic level knows that I joke a lot about a lot of inappropriate things.  I joke about my depression, anxiety, and PTSD.  I joke about my weight.  I joke about my lack of tidiness.  And why [...]

Aging Parents

Lisa | December 15, 2009

This is a subject I never thought I’d have to deal with before I turn 30, but here I am.  Truth be told, it’s not a total surprise.  Brain cancer, brain surgery, radiation, stroke, remission, more brain cancer, and now a seizure disorder from all the scarring in her brain.  It’s kind of obvious that [...]

Georgia, and Anissa, on my mind

Lisa | December 8, 2009

I wasn’t sure I was going to do this post.  I haven’t known Anissa very long.  I was introduced to her through Five Star Friday, when I read the post that made me love her.  She told off some redneck asshole in a fast food joint. I think any of us might have done that… At [...]

Pizza and Beer

Lisa | November 13, 2009

Seriously, are there any two things that go together better than that?  Personally, I don’t think so; and in these times, when most of us are hard-pressed to be able to afford an evening out, enjoying a homemade pizza and a beer (my current favorite being Leinenkugel’s Fireside Nut Brown). 
Yesterday, I received an email for [...]

The Art of Being…

Lisa | November 11, 2009

OK, I’d like to say, I’m not hating on anyone.  I’m just having a soapbox moment and I thought I’d throw it up here for discussion… if anyone even reads this anymore.
A FB status caught my eye and I thought it was a really cool FB status.  My friend said she spent the evening knitting, [...]
