Snarky Southerner from Connecticut

Probably very appropriate as I embark on a three day work trip to Washington DC!  I have two great travel partners and they are equally two great trouble makers!  We have lots of options to find trouble here.... I wonder where we will wind up this evening.  I'm thinking the rain will probably supress some of the trouble.   Tim Holtz's snarky sticker  pack is just so wonderful.  Have any of you tried to order your own set yet?  xoxo, Lisa

It just gets better and better with the  Tim Holtz's snarky sticker  pack!  Pretty much everyone in my life says that you can read my emotions on my face - I can't hide anything - and I'd be a terrible poker player.  Some have even asked if my eyes got tired rolling around all day.  It is true, my facial expressions give most everything away - even when I'm not paying attention!  In fact, listening to a conversation in our office hallway right now, I find my eyes rolling around as I type.  Ugh.  Although, I'm impressed I can continue to type when I know my eyes are rolling!  LOL xoxo, Lisa

Things are heating up with these  Tim Holtz's snarky stickers .  I hope you are truly ready for some Southern Snarkiness this week! I just love my Mondays off, that's why this post is a wee-bit late posting.  This Monday was defintely one of THOSE Mondays.  I woke up with the best intentions and then the 'if' of Life happened.  I managed to get poison ivy off our beloved outdoor cat that adopted us.  Needless to say, I was itching so badly, that I couldn't go to yoga.  Instead, I managed to catch up on some TV until I realized it was 3pm and I hadn't done anything on my list.  I really did have it together, but it definitely did not fall into place.  Small successes for the day - I did get to clean and reorganize the craft room, put my laundry away (which is a HUGE deal in my world), vacuum the upstairs of our house, and prepare dinner. My  Carrie Elle journal  prompt of the day states 'It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed in the same m

I don't believe this requires any additional commentary.  TGIF.  I'm looking forward to a quiet three day weekend - I do love Mondays off!  Have a girls movie night tonight and then quiet.  I'm sure the weekend will be full of housey and crafty things to do! I wonder what I'll make with my  Tim Holtz's snarky stickers  this weekend - I think I should make a ton of cards for an upcoming craft show... the comments are so great! Carrie Elle journal  prompt of the day "I love and approve of myself."  Yes... yes I do. xoxo, Lisa

I would prefer to alter this statement one of two ways: Pets absolutely have the innate ability to know who are 'good people.'  It always makes me question when I meet someone and they say they don't have pets or don't like pets... perhaps the pets they've had or met didn't like them! I also want to scream this to the mountaintops to all women.  We are so terrible to each other - constantly judging... or constantly trying to measure up.  We always tote 'girl power' but we do not promote that amongst each other.  (And yes grammar police, amongst is now a legal way to use among.)  We are constantly cynical of each other, doubting, competing, and gossiping.  Now, I'll always listen to gossip - because it's fun... it's wrong... but it's fun and we are all guilty of it.  I just wish I had more women around me that were less manipulative, condescending, and quietly deceitful.  I always loved working with men - you knew where yo

I can not even begin to count how many times I've thought this inside my head... daily!  I'm really not a mean person either; I just don't care to hear gossip, listen to drama, or like boastful people.  I love the work I do and I want my team to be successful and kind to each other - which appears to be easier said than done!  I think I would be a terrible bar tender.  They always have to listen to people's stories... which reminds me of an Uber driver I met in Jacksonville, FL, who loved his job.  He loved meeting people and hearing their stories.  He did admit that many he was happy got out of his car but he was genuine when he was talking about some of the interesting people he had come across.  Come to think of it, there are a lot of service type occupations that probably deal with a lot of people's nonsense.  For any of those I have ever bothered... I'm sorry!   It also manages to tie in nicely with my  Carrie Elle journal  quote of the day "What se

I think the quote says it all.  Can these  Tim Holtz's snarky sticker  get any better?  Sitting through a few meetings today, I had the following thoughts.  "Was I not clear on my expectations and required deliverables?"  "Are you playing in your own sandbox?"  "I was sure I completed that and already sent it out."  It's not often that I'm wrong.  :)  When I am, I do admit it - there is no shame in it.  It also means I take responsibility or ownership of it... which is why I'm seldom wrong.  I'm sure Sean would have a different opinion. xoxo, Lisa
