About Me

Hi. Let’s get rght into it. I'm at a pretty weird stage in life.  I know who I used to be...what I used to like to do... but my life has changed so much in the last couple years I feel like I don't even know who I am or what I want sometimes.  I started a new job a few weeks ago and in a meeting my boss asked me to introduce myself to the team... you know, the usual stuff... who you are, what you've done, and of course what are some of your hobbies.  Before I could stop my mouth, I literally introduced myself and told a bunch of people I'd never met that "I used to have hobbies, but I'm not real sure what I do for fun anymore".... and yeah….. cue the crickets. 

Needless to say, my new colleagues didn't come running to hang out with the new life of the party. 

So yeah, that's part of why I'm starting the blog... I've had the urge to write one for a while now, and like so many other things, I've been putting it off for quite for way too long.  And I couldn't come up with a name for like, forever.  Names are so hard! Don't even get me started on how we named our kiddos or our dogs (aka... our four legged kiddos).  

I figure I'm not the only person out there dealing with the issues I'm dealing with and trying to find my way in this crazy life.  I'm pretty sure no one knows what they're doing all the time... everyone wings it at least every once in a while...so what if we shared our wins and our failures to help someone else going through the same thing we just went through... That's my goal here, to make someone else's day a little easier because I shared what worked (or didn't work) for me.  What makes me such an expert at life, that I can give advice???? Ha! Nothing. ZipZilchNada! I mean, don't get me wrong... I've done some things and all in all I am a productive member of society... And! I'm pretty sure my family doesn't roll their eyes when my name comes up in conversation, but I don't have a clue what I'm doing most of the time... My life is one educated guess followed by another... some more educated that others :) I mean, my most used and loved emoji of all time is the facepalm emoji. Now, this is a good thing for you... because a lot of my "experiences", we'll call them, are quite entertaining for other people... and you get to learn what not to do! Double bonus. So, some things you should know about me before reading on... I will tell it how I see it.  If you aren't okay with hearing (or reading I suppose) the tough words, the honest words, the things that only my best friend can get away with telling me then beware.  This blog may not be for you... and that's okay. But for me and my tribe, we will keep it real and reeeeal honest.  I'm the type of person that will tell you "Yes. Those pants aren't flattering".  I also love these little dot things... and I will totally use them.... often... and most likely inappropriately too.  I love my tribe, my peeps, my crew.... and will talk of them often.  Again, they don't know I'm writing this so all names will be changed but the bottom line will be there.  Oh, and I curse. If you couldn't tell by the name of this blog... so if a little four letter word scares you... again, this may not be the blog for you, and that's okay.  

So, what will I talk about? Lot's of stuff! I'm a daughter, sister, mother, wife, in-law, working professional, and I love to eat, drink, travel and love on my peeps.  I know we all navigate through situations in all of these areas so I'll hit them all at some point.  I also love adventuring outdoors and not leaving the couch all day. I call it well rounded.  :) I'll talk about feelings and emotions, everything that I've experienced so far as all of the categories above.  There will be talk of boobs and other "lady" things.. but don't worry, I'll keep it clean for the gents out there.  All two of you. :) 

So, if you've made it this far, you deserve a medal! or better yet, a glass of bubbly to celebrate this momentous occasion! But for real, I'm glad you're here.  Let's adventure together, figure some shyt out., and have a hell of time while we do! 

Much love.
