I've been contemplating starting a blog for awhile now, and I think my biggest hang up was the whole "about me" thing. That and I'm pretty sure my boyfriend will make fun of me. But as it turns out (after a few glasses of wine. oops.) I came up with quite a list. Two actually. I like lists so here are two about me that you can put in your back pocket.
I am:
-The momma of an almost 2 year old boy, Nathan. And to our newest addition, Ava, who was born in the beginning of May! (3 weeks early!) They are my world.
-Taken. But not a Mrs...yet. ehem. Buuut the boy is Matt... hes my lover and the best dad EVER to our little sweetpeas. Not to mention hes pretty easy on the eyes :)
- A new stay at home mom. I've been working since I was about 12 so this is definitely a game changer for me. But as the cliche goes: its the hardest most rewarding job.
- The dog mommy to Julie, our English Mastiff. Shes huge. And she slobbers. alot. She's also my shadow. I once tripped over her laying outside of the bathroom door and I flew into the wall.
- Easily entertained. It's a little ridiculous...I may or may not laugh at myself more than what would be considered normal..you will see.
-The sibling to 5 sisters and 4 brothers. And aunt to 12 nieces and nephews. True story. More on that later.
-Irish. As if the above description didn’t give that away. Fun fact: I also used to Irish dance.
-Over user of the word ending "-ish". It might have something to do with my indecisiveness.
-Realizing i use ( ) alot. I like to think of them as thought bubbles. And also writing in short sentences. Which is probably very incorrect grammar, but its my blog and I'm gonna do it.
-The girl that knows movie lines. You stay classy, bloggers.
-Prepared to decorate my house when I win the lottery, thanks to Pinterest
-In love with going to the lake on our boat. (well..ok...its Matt and his dads boat. Lets not get all technical here)
-A girly girl but I loooove Sunday Funday (LETS GO GMEN!!)
-A master chef. hah! juuuuust kidding.
-Passionate in health and wellness and my goal is to be a certified trainer. Oh and I'm obsessed with green smoothies
-Also a believer in moderation. As in I made oatmeal cookies before spin class tonight.
-A lover of coffee and wine... but not together. obv.
I spy with my little eye a DINO. Their taking over my house and my son. |
-Aaaand a little obsessed with reality tv. there i said it.
-Martha Stewart.(That's right, Martha is not
behind the screen disguised as me) I do
wish I had her extreme craft/cooking/decorating gene though.
- A DIY. I'm working on it though. And by
working I mean I made 1 project. Wrapping paper covered boxes. (their actually
pretty cute if I do say so myself). - Oh, I lied! I made these little gems too:
- A college graduate. But thats why theres Google. Which I AM a hardcore googler. (if being a googler can be hardcore?) ... moving right along
-A photographer. But I LOOOOVEEE my Olympus and I LOOOVEEEE taking pictures and everything that goes along with that!
I should really get some cash money for that photo! |
-Domestic. I mean.. I do whats needed and my house Isn't a mess (actually wait, right now it kind of is) but I do not enjoy laundry, dishes, extreme cleaning, etc....sorry babe :)
-Organized. I really want to be. Thank you again, Pinterest. I have made attempts. It was a new years resolution. Now its a long term goal :)
-Hard to get along with. Easy peezy mac n cheesey. Yes that just happened.
OK thats enough for now.... that went on wayyy longer than I expected. Its a good start though. Right? Right. Oh one more thing... I AM glad you're here :) Thanks a bunch!! Love ya, mean it.
OHH one more thing .. for real last thing. Check out this girl (we basically became BFF's last night, it was magical.) She took the time to write me back and convince me to forget about all the little details and JUST START WRITING! Thank you!! Also, her blog is the bomb.com.
Wahhhhoooooooooo. And my new favorite blog award goes to..... :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on starting lady. I am so proud of you. I feel like a blog mom now. I should stop.
But seriously. You are hilarious. You would even be more hilarious if you would add the Google Friend Connect Follow button on your sidebar. So I could follow you and shaz.
Let me know when that is up please. I gotta be the first. And if I'm not.... well, we are going to assume something that tragic won't happen.
xoxo
second piece of advice--turn off your word verification on comments. I believe I wrote about how you can do that here:
