He's a successful businessman that has built houses his whole life. He can build and sell beautiful homes, but can't seem to knock down his smoking habit. I was happy to hear this statistic by the CDC: 70 percent of smokers want to quit. I wonder whether my dad would be included in that 70 percent. He's struggled with smoking for as long as I remember. And even when he tries to quit, I'm not sure if he's serious about it...]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2011/11/most-smokers-want-to-quit-but-what-about-my-dad/feed/ 0 http://lindseymastis.com/2011/10/cancer-stories/ http://lindseymastis.com/2011/10/cancer-stories/#comments Mon, 10 Oct 2011 01:17:22 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=1472 http://lindseymastis.com/2011/10/cancer-stories/feed/ 1 http://lindseymastis.com/2011/09/congratulations-komen-3-day-walkers/ http://lindseymastis.com/2011/09/congratulations-komen-3-day-walkers/#comments Tue, 27 Sep 2011 00:49:07 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=1498 Several of my friends participated in the Susan G.

Instead of opting for the usual (and might I add, expensive) wedding invitations, I did them myself. All it took was patience, some creativity with Photoshop, $100, and an excellent printing expert from Staples. Our wedding is being held in our hometown, St. Louis. But we love to travel and wanted to show our guests some of our adventures. Our invitations include several photographs-- from our half-marathons in Las Vegas and Virginia Beach, to vacations in Alaska and Mexico, and historic excursions to Mount Vernon and Harpers Ferry.]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2010/02/wedding-invitations-150-with-postage/feed/ 1 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/10/im-engaged/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/10/im-engaged/#comments Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:07:21 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=901 When I met Patrick six years ago, we both had iPaqs. On that first day, we beamed each other our personal information. Soon, we were sneaking out to lunch together, instant messaging, and talking on the phone. One of our first conversations lasted more than eight hours. We stayed up all night chatting. Three months into our relationship, I knew he was the one and I was ready to marry him...]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2009/10/im-engaged/feed/ 2
