Who Is Sparky?

My name is Lisa. 

Lots of females my age are named Lisa.  It was the most popular baby name the year I was born.  The year before, too.  And the year after.  In fact, the name Lisa was on the top ten list of baby names for twelve years straight.  There’s nothing uncommon about my name, that’s for sure.

And my life?  I’m a wife, a mom, an artist, a Jesus Freak, a cook, a referee of living room fights, a scrubber of mystery stains, a nail polish enthusiast, a despiser of black walnuts and cilantro, a math dork, a lover of fiery hot spicy foods, an introvert who’s easily bored, a freedom fighter, a reader and a writer, a remover of splinters, and an avid taker of naps.  The stuff daily life is made of.  Nothing all that uncommon, at least in the individual elements.

And yet…there’s only one me, and I’ve found over the years that I don’t exactly see life in a common manner, and I usually don’t talk about it in common ways.

So my name is Lisa.  This is my blog.  We’ll talk about whatever it’s time to talk about.

And it’s always time for something!
