Thankful Thursday *Updated*
| February 29, 2008 | Posted by Lisa Sharp under Uncategorized |
I have to say what is on my mind right now that I’m thankful for is Ron Paul. He has made me believe in this country again and I feel I have learn a lot because of him. When I hear him talk about something I don’t know about I go learn about it. So what I know about the American government has grown a lot this year. And I have gotten more active in politics. I’m a member of a meetup group, went to a “debate” at the local college, and may go to my distract convention this weekend. In some ways it’s fun to do all of this stuff but it’s also a bit depressing at times. For one I think we will be voting between Obama and McCain and I don’t like either and I was really hopeful that I wouldn’t have to vote for the lesser of two “evils” this year. But I really do think we will still see change. Ron Paul woke a lot of us up and we won’t be shut down to easily. 
I’m very thankful that he ran this year and that he is staying with it all the way!!! I hope more people like him will go in to politics now.
*update*
I wanted to add for the Christians and pro-life reading this, Ron Paul is pro-life. As an OB/GYN he saw an illegal abortion while in med. school which shocked him and made him sick and it has made him for much pro-life. He tried to pass a bill that would have made a fetus a life. Also he is trying to get “Roe Vs. Wade” over turned which would let states ban abortions. Even “Roe” has become very pro-life and is backing Ron Paul.
Also as far as my anti-war views, I do support the troops. I think getting them out of there is the best thing we can do for them. Oh and Ron Paul does want to go after Bin Laden, he is not in Iraq.
Oh and I am going to my district convention tomorrow. I’m a delegate, yay!
Sewing!

I sewed my first item! It’s not great but hey it was by hand (no machine) and first time, other than sewing buttons and holes. So I had those fabric samples which were a great size for a needle book, I have seen a few but I just made this up. Remember first time people! lol
I had left over Winnie The Pooh stickers so I have a Winnie The Pooh needle book.

I have a really bad memory due to Fibromyalgia. I have tons of post-it notes but I have a way of losing those plus it’s such a waste of paper so my wonderful husband got me a Blackberry and a dry erase board which both help a lot but I also use this site-

It’s free, they will send you different types of alerts and all kinds of neat things. Be sure to check it out.

This one is one I really like because I don’t listen to much Christian music at all. Also judgmental Christians really bother me. Hope you enjoy this video, there are three more like this on Godtube.com

Crunchy Tuesday

So I have used my Shaklee dryer sheets so time for a review.
They are wonderful! I love my Method ones but these were much better. Everything is full of static right now with our dry winter weather but these got rid of all of it, even on my satin sheets. Now I have tried to use half a sheet and then it doesn’t work as well as the method ones but if you use a whole sheet they are better. Then again they should be since they cost a lot more.
I don’t know that I will buy anymore because of the cost but they are very good so if you can’t get Method and want a natural dryer sheets or you are a member of Shaklee, you should try these.
By the way you can put the sheets in with your recycling when you are done.
Get the facts!

I’m so tired of seeing this Obama is a Muslim forward. IT’S FALSE!!! It’s not Obama that didn’t use the bible it’s another senator! Find out if something is true before you forward it! Second he can’t help what his name is, get over it.
Also why are we so pissy if he was Muslim? Didn’t this country start for religious freedom? Someone please tell me when we became a Christian nation. Not all Muslims are going around bombing stuff, just like not all Christians are.
Yes I brought it up, Christians take our faith to far as well and bomb abortion clinics and there is that “church” that protests our soldiers funerals.
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”

100 Things About Me
| February 25, 2008 | Posted by Lisa Sharp under Uncategorized |
Since a lot of you don’t know me I thought I would share some random facts about me.
1. I’m a Choctaw Indian, I’m the whitest indian you will meet but I have a card to prove it!
2. I have Fibromyalgia
3. Most of high school I wanted to a be a nurse. Now I just play nurse for my family and sometimes friends haha.
4. I’m dyslexic. While it can be hard at times to have a learning disability in resent years I have learned to over come it and I think that while my math and spelling aren’t good, I’m a more creative person for it. Did you know that Edison was dyslexic?
5. I was homeschooled starting in 4th grade. Our style of homeschooling was more like unschooling. I think it’s the best education I could have had.
6. I love big dogs! The bigger the better. Right now I have a dog that is about 80-90lbs (she hasn’t been weighed in a long time).
7. I have oil painted for about 10-11 years.
8. I’m a registered Republican but I’m more of a libertarian or as I like to say “old school Republican” (Think 1984 platform)
9. I run a myspace site for people with invisible chronic illnesses.
10. I have my own business (photography and graphic design)
11. My ankles turn in very badly so I had to have physical therapy and I wear inserts in my shoes.
12. My favorite place in the world is Dana Point, CA.
13. I love Disneyland and Disney World.
14. My favorite band is The Cure.
15. I have asthma.

17. I love animals but I have a thing against goats
18. I love pigs and penguins
19. I can’t see yellow very well against white.
20. I have irlen syndrome (Scotopic sensitivity syndrome)
21. Even with my learning disabilities I was in a think called I.L.O. while in school, it was a special class that smart kids went to, you had to take an iq like test to get in. I was always very proud of that since with learning disabilities I didn’t always feel very smart.
22.I’m very allergic to mushrooms. I have to keep an epi-pen with me at all times. And I can only eat at a few places.
23. When I was young my brother’s dog Blake saved my life by pulling me off the road right before a bus that was going far to fast would have hit us. He was a Golden Retriever.
24. I almost got bitten by a copperhead once, the only thing that kept me from getting bitten was my sandal, i was so lucky since most of my foot wasn’t covered.
25. My ribs are rotated. You can see that they look wrong and it was very painful. Right now it’s mostly just the left side but I get pain on the right side at times so I believe it’s slowly rotating as well.
26. My favorite band when I was 9 years old was Bush. My friends were all listening to boy bands at the time.
27. I always wished I had stuck with gymnastics but it most likely would have been very bad for my ankle but with my asthma it was really the only sport I could do.

33. Chemicals give me headaches and make me very dizzy. I hate when they are cleaning in wal-mart at night, sometimes it’s so bad we just have to leave where ever we are.
34. I have cluster headaches.
35. High pitched sounds hurt my ears and mess with me.
36. I love to bake.
37. I’m kind of OCD. I have to have the bowls loaded in the back of the washer and plates in the front, this is such a problem for me that if someone else has done it the other way I will take everything out and re-do it. (I can’t believe I just shared that! haha)

I got my Starbucks tumbler! I love it so far. I couldn’t wait to print something so I made a temp. insert. Here it is-
Yes it’s Winnie The Pooh stickers! What can I say I love Winnie The Pooh, plus I had leftover stickers so why not.
