Thursday's WOTD: Gordian

The Formalities: Gordian, for my purposes means to cut the Gordian knot, to act quickly and decisively in a difficult situation; solve a problem BOLDLY.

The history behind the word Gordian can be found at the following link: Gordian

The Dirt: One of my very dear friends made the astute observation that although I am a very intelligent woman, my decision-making skills are something to be desired, or to be totally honest, THEY SUCK THE BIG ONE. I don't know if decision making is just in a part of the brain that I killed with alcohol or maybe I just acquired this deficit from my father. In any event, I have come to a crossroads in my life and must be BOLD and make some rather life altering changes. Hence, I must be Gordian!!!!

I found my hook

I have been debating how to relay myself via a blog. Everybody has a hook. I mean look at Julie and Julia, they made a MOVIE about it because she had a great hook. I had been trying to force it for a while, to no avail and figured that I would one day, when the time was right, I would be inspired. I knew there had to be something I could bring to the vast interwebs we have all become so reliant on as the new social tool of the millennium. So a few weeks ago I began using what I think are 50 cent words to express my situations and feelings on Facebook. I termed these little lovelies as Lisa's Word of the Day. Surprisingly to me, my Facebook buddies enjoyed my using of my mood to enhance all of our vocabularies. A HOOK WAS born!!!! So stay tuned as I will share my Word of the Day (probably Word of the Week because a daily blog seems to daunting). I hope you like!!!!

What is a marriage supposed to be anyway???

So when you marry a guy you don't know, then have kids right away and loads of stressful life events in a very small window, is it possible to build a relationship after serious damage is already done? I think it depends on what marriage is supposed to be. I mean I guess it depends on what you want to get from it and whether or not both parties are happy.....I mean don't get me wrong I am NOT under the delusion that everything is mushy and gooey in an all out LOVE FEST for eternity. But after a while, do you just become really good buddies, or is there more to it than that?? Or does it matter as long as that's what you expect and are satisfied with that??? HMMMM.

Am I blog-worthy???

I decided to start a blog cause that's what people in 2009, soon to be 2010 do. We Blog, we attend webinars and online conferences. We read through Kindles and live on cell phone..wait Smart phones. So as a woman in this century, I should have a blog, right???
So what do people blog about. Their kids, how much weight they have lost, their pets, their jobs. All great topics, but only if they are interesting. I think I am interesting....sometimes. So I guess this blog is an experiment to measure myself for entertainment value. This is fitting since I am a scientist by trade. So ENJOY, hopefully
