Conditions There is a moment when you realize that the relationship you are/were in has more conditions placed on it than you ever realized. This can easily apply to friendships as well. If you abandon, do not expect my loyalty. If you disrespect, do not expect my respect. If you are genuine, don’t turn on … Continue reading Conditions

Imbolc Blessings

Happy Imbolc fellow Wiccans and/or Pagans. Happy Groundhog Day for everyone else in the Western Hemisphere. One Groundhog saw its shadow and the other did not. With wintery weather currently affecting so many, myself included, it's not an immense stretch to believe that we'll have six more weeks of winter. The weird thing? The … Continue reading Imbolc Blessings

I intended to get some work done today. I am doing an editing job to help someone out from a writer's group I previously belonged to. I am also doing an editing job because it's my job to do so. However, with no set deadline, I found myself procrastinating on opening the file. I've already … Continue reading It’s Okay To Take It Easy

Be Honest

Be Honest Many of us use specific ringtones to let us know precisely who is calling. A standardized boring ringtone might mean we have no idea who the caller is, and thus, we do not answer the phone. Special songs have special meanings. We don’t even have to look to see who is calling, we … Continue reading Be Honest

I am thisclose (that is not a typo) to killing one of my clients. If you feel like someone is professionally giving you the runaround, it's probably because they are. Though I suspect, some people are truly stupider than one can give them credit for. There aren't enough "LOLs" in the world to mask the … Continue reading Am I Wearing A Sign?

The Four Letter Word Of Winter

2015-01-262015-01-26 Miss Poison January, Musings, Snow, Writing Humor, Musings, Snow, Winter, Writing

S-N-O-W. The original forecast was for "a little snow" this coming Wednesday. However, yesterday afternoon this somehow changed and now up to two feet is supposed to take a dump on my local area. I'm thrilled in all sorts of ways. <rolls eyes> This is the last thing I want to be dealing with, but … Continue reading The Four Letter Word Of Winter

Break, Not Broken I came into this world intolerant of fake people, lies, and bullshit. This has only become more pronounced as I’ve gotten older. There are actual photos of me as a baby, newly home from the hospital, and the expression on my face is priceless. I know exactly what I was thinking in … Continue reading Break, Not Broken

What a horrific week. I am not sorry to move into the weekend, not even with 4-7 inches of snow currently predicted between tonight and tomorrow. There hasn't been much snow to speak of this winter. Yes, for that I should be grateful, and I am, but I do like a few inches on the … Continue reading Thank Goddess It’s Friday!

Some days, I am utterly appalled by the audacity of others. There is a fine line between offering to help someone as a form of empowering another woman, and then dealing with the opposite side of the coin where someone wants you to do a job, but then wants you to lower your rate. When … Continue reading Freelance Doesn’t Mean Free

There is a humorous saying in my family: "When Lisa gets bored, she gets dangerous." It's truly a joke, I'm basically a sweet kitten from hell, but right now, I've got a TON on my plate and it's beyond overwhelming. I hate it when people use the excuse of being "busy" so as not to do … Continue reading Stirring The Cauldron
