I’d like to ask about you, because I’m more comfortable with
that. But part of this “project”, that is, the blogging experience, for me is
stepping out of my comfort zone and talking about me. I’m a blonde, naturally,
and have always much loved that fact. Underneath the exteriour though, I’m
fairly healthy, a sufferer of PMDD, a mother, and a nomad—I include the latter
two because they really are a part of the “internal me”. My genetic code seems
to be invariably programmed with traits I wasn’t even aware I possessed until I
reached a point in my life where I wouldn’t know who I was anymore if I was a
Mommy and a wandering soul. Digging even deeper, I’m spiritual to my core.
I like everything.
No, really. Okay, not really. I don’t particularly care for rhubarb or okra.
That being said, I like just about every other food I’ve ever tasted. I like to
change things up in the kitchen. Weekly meals in our household are usually a
complex mix of a few staples, something new, and something re-done. Now you
might be wondering who I’m implicating with that “our house” statement.
Currently, it consists of myself, two wonderfully rambunctious kids, my boyfriend, his dog that I try to love, and a
sweet little doggy girl.
My career. Well, I’m a writer. No, not just a
blogger-by-night hobby writer, and actual get paid for it writer. I love it. I
actually started college as a Journalism major, and somehow finished as a psych
major. Regardless, I’ve been a writer at heart for years, even an editor for my
school newspaper. I know, bravo right? Actually, I give myself more credit for
it now than I ever did then. Before I ever graduated though, I found myself
fielding job offers in the writing field and somehow it worked out. I’m
grateful every day. A telecommuting job is a mom’s dream after all,
isn’t it? Regardless of the passion I have for my career, I still want to be
the mom that is home after school. Still, I plan to attend graduate school in
the near future and enter the medical field, but I will always be a writer.
On a more relaxed note, as much of a wandering soul as I am,
I’m also quite the homebody. I love to travel. Ask anyone who knows me and
they’d tell you I am always planning
a trip or counting down the days to one. But when I’m home, I like to be home.
Nothing is better in my opinion than a calm evening at home with the family or a
lazy Saturday spent in sweats watching movies. Now, don’t start thinking I’m
lazy; that’s the furthest things from what I am. I am most definitely a worker
bee.
So, here I am, slightly vulnerable and a little bit bitchy
on this particular evening. I’m wondering how this blogging experience will pan
out for me, among everything else going on in my life right now. I hope you’ll
join me.
