I still remember when I found the Holstee Manifesto.
It was the spring of 2011. I was supremely angry, stressed out, over worked, under supported, confined to a desk that saw my butt for 13 hour days. I loved what I was doing (that's what kept me there for 13 hours straight day in and day out) but I hated the premise of it. I despised the demands that were put on me, I was basically operating aLisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01202827900715636004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632372713234346930.post-53293624042043759692012-09-04T15:07:00.002-06:002012-09-04T15:07:32.373-06:00Make Work Projects
I recently received a graphic design job that could have been 100% avoided.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the work, nor do I mind the money that I will be paid for my time BUT it's the frustration that there are some designers out there that fail to follow through with their projects and therefore put people like myself into business all the while giving all designers in general a bad name.

I slipped.
I got in the first workout (although I think I did it wrong... more on that in a moment) but then after that first workout on Saturday, I missed the next two. I had good intentions to do it but, well, things happen.
I guess that's the take away really, things happen. And sometimes there are other things that should take a higher precedent over others. This time it was hiking in the Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01202827900715636004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632372713234346930.post-75579194963396787712012-08-31T12:19:00.004-06:002012-08-31T12:19:56.295-06:00Measurements and more... Oh My!
The part no one truly enjoys, posting their "physical stats" online.
I actually don't care about the numbers, never have, it's the photos. I hate having my photos taken. Period.
And sadly (or perfectly planned...), I missed taking the photos due to packing mayhem. I am positive that three days of the workouts won't affect the visual comparisons (especially seeing as I am "holidaying" during Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01202827900715636004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632372713234346930.post-44383280613167696382012-08-29T16:18:00.001-06:002012-08-29T16:34:58.016-06:00"The Experiment" Begins...
Start Date: September 1, 2012
End Date: September 30, 2012
(Then Part 2)
I'm writing this now, in case I forget to later and because I will be out in the wilderness for the weekend as the Experiment commences. Luckily, I have some neighbors that are eager to do this along with me so it should be a lot of fun!
Fingers crossed we survive.
Officially, September 1st will be day one Part 1 to my Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01202827900715636004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632372713234346930.post-16212987636544951742012-08-27T18:51:00.003-06:002012-08-28T17:15:24.625-06:00The Experiment...A couple weeks ago I posted (on Facebook) about an experiment I was preparing for.
And now it's time for me to make the "experiment" known... It's not really an experiment in the true sense of the word, it's more so a lifestyle challenge for me.
I know that I am heading into a very busy fall (self imposed of course), however that should not be a reason for me to forgo my gym Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01202827900715636004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632372713234346930.post-45015880978425971192012-08-27T17:13:00.004-06:002012-08-27T18:48:08.614-06:00Falling in love with fall
I love this time of year!
I probably write about it every year in one way or another, in past blogs, letters to friends and more. I love it that much!
The fall, what a fantastic season. Crystal clear, bright blue skies with extra Golden rays of sunshine filtering down from the sky. There's a chill in the air in the mornings reminding you that the seasons are changing and yet in the afternoon Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01202827900715636004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632372713234346930.post-63223090630477605752012-08-19T14:47:00.001-06:002012-08-19T20:34:34.989-06:00The beginning...
This is the seemingly obligatory "Welcome to my blog, this is my intent" post.
The post no one actually reads because the blog is obscure, will be obscure for a length of time, and will only become well known in time, through persistent annoyance to one's friends/family and with luck someone sharing the blog along the proverbial internet highway and it somehow taking hold in the minds of moreLisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01202827900715636004noreply@blogger.comHigh River, AB, Canada50.5801021 -113.870731250.559936099999994 -113.9102132 50.6002681 -113.83124919999999
