Lisa's Story
Life
Well I doubt I can fit a proper life bio into one short paragraph but I will try. I have been married over half of my life now, but to two different men ( not at the same time), have three children & one grandchild. People tell me that I haven't changed that much over the years, but of course, who can remember that far back? I finally feel comfortable in my own skin at this point in my life right now...that only took merely four DECADES to achieve...& It's not fair...you feel better emotionally but you look worse physically, What's up with that anyway? gray hairs, can't see to read the newspaper, knees cracking, taking your high cholesterol medication and peeing your pants when you sneeze, can you relate? We are turning into our parents...Oh God, Can somebody please tell me what the hell happened to the last 30 yrs????? On a more serious note, I am an RN, a highly stress related profession with lots of change involved and you become an expert at multi-tasking, something incidently, I have found that most males have a lot of trouble accomplishing. I have come back around as I did when I was younger, to owning many animals. I have an Aussie named Casey Bear, my sons Husky named Chloe and 3 cats, Gizmo, Chloe & Jazmyn. one gecko named Elmo, a few hermit crabs, and 24 Rabbits. We actually raise them and my Daughter is very involved with 4H. Ya'no what they say; "The more things change the more they stay the same"...I raised sheep when I was her age. I also love photography and taking photos is a total passion for me. I also LOVE to travel, the excitement & adventure involved is more than just a hobby. I enjoy dog shows, outdoor fairs, shopping, old churches, maps & geography, the sound of the surf, angels, Whales, sea turtles, Blues music, the ocean, mermaids, warm socks, throw blankets, hugs, passionate kisses, a cold glass of water when you're thirsty, a hot shower, getting into bed with clean sheets that have been hanging out on the line and having all three of ...Expand for more
my children together in one place....................... Does that help you to know me better? probably not, but I hope it was atleast entertaining. I actually hope to write a book in the near future, I enjoy writing too, (Can you tell) ? I try to be the best person I can be and to give of myself to others. I also have gotten more assertive in my old age & take less crap from people than I used to. I really don't care what anyone thinks....aaahhh... The beauty of getting old, you aren't out to try to impress anyone anymore. That's the "comfortable in your own skin thing again" I'm afraid. Yes, Age & Wisdom vs. Young & Stupid? Or is it, Old & Bitchy vs. Young & naive? WE also don't have TV, haven't in over 3 yrs! Sound impossible? I am here to assure you, It can be done! It is amazing but we actually read more, communicate more, play games and have an abundance of peace & quiet in the house. My daughter can do her homework and concentrate on learning without the TV blaring in the background. This does wonders for ADD by the way, less distraction. We have a plethora of movies we watch and don't ever have a pay a cable bill. Politically speaking, I hate Bush, I don't even listen to the news on the Iraq War, it sickens me! Funny, but my son is a Poli-Sci major who loves to debate. I am not one to talk politics or religion. I really hate things I have no control over, like taxes and certain laws that make no sense what so ever. I am a rebel, & I hate to conform. When the sign at the post office says "Goverment Property Stay off the Grass", I say " Oh yeah and what are ya gonna do about it?" I so get a sense of getting even.... I rarely drink but do enjoy a Corona With Lime or a nice rum & coke on occasion. I do not smoke and I am allergic to exercise and to the Gym. I will walk and even hike but that's where I draw the line. What else can I tell ya? I guess that is enough about me.....some short paragraph huh? Oh yea, and I'll never be rich or marry for money.....
