See. Lisa. Run. (not well, but run!)
September 16th, 2010 
Lisa Johnston Well, it’s the two minutes and forty four seconds you’ve all been waiting for! Yep, the vlog on my Smooth Fitness treadmill. Once again, I apologize for the crumminess of my camera quality. Wouldn’t you know, my battery was dead from my LAST vlog, but it’s a good thing that I checked it, because I’d hate to take off to NYC with a dead battery in my camera, right?

We’re going to be followed by the media, have our own paparazzi, and all that really cool jazz. Ok, so I don’t know about the paparazzi, but I am expecting a red carpet in my driveway when I get home! (Yall remind me to get my brows shaped up before I go – really!)

September 1st, 2010 Lisa Johnston For about two and a half weeks now, Kylie (my 11 year old) has been having tremendous back pain. She can’t remember a definitive starting point, but she does know – all too well – that she’s having trouble sleeping, sitting, standing, doing school work, laying, watching a movie, swimming, walking, riding in a car, and so on and so forth. The pain is not localized, yet it travels around her back. Kinda see where we’re stumped?
