Hi!

My name is Lisa and these are my kids...err...dogs, Bailey and Scooter.

I had laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery at the St. Vincent's Hospital in Carmel, IN. on June 6, 2002 and in this picture, I have lost 97 pounds.

Weight Loss Surgery is never easy, but eventually it does get easier.  It's not a solution, but a tool to assist you in changing your lifestyle.

But enough about that....

 
I graduated from high school in 1990 and went on to Indiana University where I received a B.A......or should I say B.S.... in Anthropology. This degree falls under the category: "What the hell was I thinking?"  Not a lot of job prospects.... 

After taking some hard lumps, I got a break and now work as Director of Marketing and Member Services for a not-for-profit organization and I love what I do.

As I write this, I am somewhere in my 30's (wink, wink). Lovely. The good news is that I am now married to a wonderful dude and together we have 2 beautiful pups, Scooter and Bailey.  They keep us laughing and have given us something to love other than ourselves.


The things that I love...

Arts and crafts stores.  Hobby Lobby is my church...

Creative writing

Straight comedy high jinx

Laughing

Iced lattes

Sarcasm; it's what's for breakfast

Sarcasm; the other white meat

Straight up sarcasm

The twinkle in Justin Timberlake's eye

A nice, hot shower

Reading the Sunday paper in bed with a latte by my side

It's All About Me...

Song that best describes me and gastric bypass...before, during and after:
"In The Middle", Jimmy Eat World

Top 3 Favorite Bands:
- Live
- Pearl Jam
- Beastie Boys

Best Book: To Kill A Mockingbird

Favorite Movie: Anything by John Hughes

Favorite Color: Pink

Secret Aspiration: To become a magician...shut up...really!

Secret Love: John Denver's 3 CD compilation...again...shut up

Favorite Moment: Meeting my husband

Most Embarrassing Moment: Tim and I had only been dating 3 months when I brought him to meet my family. During this meeting, I fell head-first down a flight of stairs in front of a room full of people.  Ain't nothin' pretty about a 250 pound girl falling down the stairs. It was beyond horrifying...but after all of that, he STILL married me. Sucker.

Favorite hobby: Cooking

Best thing about weight loss: Is it materialistic of me if I say "clothes"...cuz I'm gonna have to say "clothes."

Favorite Quote: "The more one has seen of the good, the more one asks for the better."
