re: Lisa

I am computer-confident, except when it comes to photo editing and that sort of thing. But ask me to sort out your email, or figure out something in Word and I'll do my darndest!

I would much rather make things with my hands, a pair of scissors and some glue! And paint. And ribbon. And something vintage or found on the ground.

I'm not much of a cook. I don't like to follow recipes. I really love to try new combinations and new things, but only if it's not overwhelming!

I don't like it when things take too many steps (hence my irk with Tim Holtz). If I can do it in four steps, then tell me in four steps, not eight, or eighty. Jeez louise.

Same thing goes with directions on how to get from place A to place B. Forget short cuts if they are too confusing. I would much rather give someone the most direct route, with the least amount of turns. Even if takes them a bit longer, at least they will get there! This comes from my time spent with "InfoReg", and Campus Ambassadors.

I love sending and receiving mail. I wish I received more fun mail! But not junk mail, or addressed ad-mail, or flyers.

I like fashion. Not high, fancy, designer fashion. Regular folk, neat-o fashion is more my cup of tea. If I'm wearing something fun, then yay! But I don't spend my life worrying about what I wear. Sometimes you just need a pair of mittens, and if they happen to be designed for "hitting the slops" and don't match your coat, or anything else you own, then so be it.

I love coffee. Strong. Delicious. Americano is my favourite order anywhere. I don't like Tim Hortons, for many reasons, but the major one is that their coffee tastes like gack. I will never understand why someone will go out of their way to get a Tims coffee. Yuck-o.

I buy organic, like, all the time. If there is an organic option for something on my grocery list, I take it. I figure, I can afford it right now so why not. I also read those little stickers on produce to see where it came from, and will choose Canada first, then the US over any other country. If the product comes from too far away, I won't buy it. I mostly don't understand why we have to get our apples from California, when I've seen the beautiful orchards in BC, our neighbour...duh. Also, tomatoes...they come from a greenhouse this time of year anyway, so why not choose a greenhouse close to home. Oh my.

I heart games. Board games, card games, mind-games. I love Sudoku, and Cattan, and Carcasonne, and Chutes and Ladders, and Crazy Eights, and Shanghai, and Ace to King, and Gin, and Crib, and Uno, and etc. The Seibold family is "famous" for its card-playing skills. That is one requirement of any reunion: a crib tournament, and some pinochle tables. My sister, dad, and grandpa are master card players, without even having to really try. I'm not 100% skilled at this, but I can hold my own!

This list was more just for me. To get it out there. These are the things that make Lisa, and some of them aren't so bad. I have been doing a lot of self-doubting lately, and it's kind of got me in the doldrums.

I have been so tired lately, and I can't tell if it's a "I've been keeping busy and not slacking off so I'm just tired" kind of tired, or a "something is wrong with me, and I haven't slowed down enough to figure out what it is" kind of tired. Hum...I have been busy lately...

Also, in reference to this post from last week, it's still not working out. I need to slow down, and take some things off of my to-do list (or pawn some off on Russel and Lucas), and focus on Lisa this week! But I have been procrastinating on some Lime Door custom orders (they keep getting bumped for other things), so I'll readjust and focus on Lisa and Lime Door this week!

I have made some new styles of headbands that I will have to share with you! They are quite nice, if I do say so myself.

And I really really need to re-vamp the blog. I have been talking about a blog makeover for ages and ages, but just don't have the time to do the research and work that needs to happen to make it happen. But a real-live due date might have the ability to put a fire under me! So look forward on your Microsoft Calendar to Friday, January 14th, 2011 and mark that day as the day "You Know How I Roll" will change, like, for real!
