the things you find…that break your heart

Aidan’s 5th Grade Graduation from Lisa Russo on Vimeo.

I was organizing videos today and came across this interview with Aidan on his last day of elementary school. He’d just finished 5th grade, sad to leave his friends as we planned a move to Erie.

I simply cannot believe we’re in the same place…same time…but now he’s at the end of Middle School and facing another move. Where did the last 3 years go?? Sadly, I know time passes quickly, but even moreso when you want it to. It’s no secret that our time here has not been all we’d hoped it would be, and I’m excited for our family’s next adventure; although Aidan will likely have the same things to say.

I have him with me for four more years…a blip. If that blip could move just a TINY bit slower, that would be great.

And now I’m going to go outside and wait for his bus.

technology thursday | wunderlist

Thursday | May 16th | 2013

It’s no secret I’m a fan of to-do lists. I used toodledo for ages, switched to clear for my on-the-go shopping lists, and still have my original Franklin Planner with a permanent indent where my custom LISA CONNELLY ID plate used to stick.

I haven’t been LISA CONNELLY since 1994.

Most of my work-related tasks are on the computer. Which has the INTERNET on it. And y’all know what that means. Facebooktwitterblogsreederfacebookweathertmzinstagrampinterestfacebook.

Needless to say, I’m easily distracted. And then an hour goes by and nada is done. Don’t you shake your head at me – you KNOW you do it too!

I wanted a computer-based tasklist to be right there in my face keep me on track. I asked on Facebook (ahem) and out of the many suggestions, I fell in love with Wunderlist. I didn’t want anything fancy, just a very simple list. I wanted to make my own lists and tasks, have them repeat, assign dates, and check them off.

It does all that. Perfectly and simply. You can sync it to your other devices, but I only use it on the computer.

When I’m not reading Facebook.

By the way: That list up there? I checked off 2/3 of them today. Booyah!

i’ve never been a flower person, but 360 days of winter has brought me around…

Tuesday | May 14th | 2013

So here’s the deal. Waaaaayyyyyyy back in my early 20s (you know, in OLDEN TIMES), I had a boyfriend who was a real jackwagon. Being a headstrong and misguided youth, I misunderstood his sending me flowers 2-3x a week for ROMANCE when – in fact – it was just his icky and weird way of controlling me. Blah! After I broke up with him he continued to send flowers that promptly went into the trash. For months. Totally ruined flowers for me. He ended up being a creepy stalker, but that’s another story for another day!

So many lessons I get to pass along to Ava! #brightside #cuphalffull

Anyhoodle. Never a fan, until I lived in Erie – where after what seems like 360 days of winter, the trees have exploded. After so much (!!) grey, there’s nothing like a bit of colorful nature to make a person rethink their stance, eh? Besides, these lovelies don’t come in a vase via a delivery person.:)

elizabeth - Beautiful photos! Still waiting on the blooms here in Wyoming this year, ugh. You remind me SO MUCH of my friend Susan when you tell stories. Seriously. You guys might be related. : )
