About Us

My favorite people, looking pretty cool in June 2011.

UPDATE 2011: I think we have figured out how it all works now. And I do all of the posting. I am not really a fan of the text below, but the pictures are still ok. I will update with some newer pics of the kids. It’s been two years. Other than that. I leave it as it stands.
We are: People experimenting with idea of world wide web notoriety. We are cutting edge and on the brink of discovery.
But first we have to figure out how this whole thing works.
The original title was “masnstevy“. Then it was “masnstevy jsp“.
“masnstevy” is a combination of my kids names: Mason and Stevie (boy/girl).
“jsp” stands for just shy of pretty, the phrase my son came up with to describe how I look.
FYI: The pictures above are of boyfriend, Jeff; daughter, Stevie; son, Mason; flowers in front of my house, Daffodils.
I like “just shy of pretty“. My kids want their names. But since I’m the boss…
Both addresses will take you back here anyway, so I guess it doesn’t matter which one is used.
The site is just a fun way for us, mostly me, to share the things we like to do, or read, or hear, or buy, or go to…etc, in some kind of organized way.
We, me… write and draw and tell funny stories; and that’s all here too.

What’s with the photograph of the lily? Is it supposed to make us feel something? Sharing a moment with the inner-Lisa? Your time away from the real world seems to have soften your spirit and made you sensitive to little minute details of everyday life. Don’t take too much time to sniff the flowers. For they all wither and die and then what will you be left with?
The windows look nice by the way.

I love the Dirty Pirate Hooker! When it first came up, it doesn’t show me who…just the call sign…and I KNEW it was you. Yes, I am a marshmallow today. I truly didn’t expect to be. The real world damage has been repaired for now. My armor is intact but with soft spots. Don’t be too quick to call me out about the poetry of life, your comment is quite poetic in itself for all its harshness. Ha. And the window is nice. I can’t wait for all of them to be in!! Now, get back to work!

Hey Lisa!
You are a riot! This is a friend of Jeff’s old stomping grounds! He told me about your website and I have done everything from laugh to cry!
I would like to note my favorite section, “Weird Shit Around the House!” With a 4 and 5 year old at home, weird shit is a part of our everyday life.
You are a highly creative person and I can’t wait to meet you!
