About

What up?!?  So, I'm just gonna start by keeping it real.  I have no idea how to go about beginning a blog.  Not only do I not even read any blogs on the regular basis, but since my kids came along I hardly read at all...like EVER.   It's pretty sad how much I've forgotten about grammar and parts of speech since college, and while I blame it on texting and the informality we use to type to other people on the regular, if I'm going to be honest I think I can just attribute it to the pure laziness I've acquired in the years since life has begun to leave me feeling...well...lifeless.

I actually think that my "I don't give a shit" attitude towards punctuation and proper sentence structure are going to be beneficially to me in my blogging endeavors.  I've been wanting to start a blog (strike that...stick with a blog I've started) for years now, but I find myself spending more time worrying about strangers sadistically proofreading what I post than actually posting anything.  So, here it is...a new start...I'm going to give my blogging ambitions a go and let go of my perfectionism for the sake of doing what I've been meaning to do but won't have any time to do properly in the near future.  Carpe Diem...right?

I can imagine that my former English teachers (most of whom, I might add, liked me very much and thought I showed great acuity when it came to composition) would be pained to read most of what I write these days, but I no longer care...Sorry Mr. Ray and Mrs. Martin!!  I have always loved to write and have written in some way, whether in be journaling or jotting down ideas, almost every day of my life.  Lately I've begun to feel like it's all a waste if I'm the only one who ever reads it, so I've decided to put myself out there with this blog.  Don't be too harsh...

I haven't ever really stuck with any standard form of writing.  I like to write songs and poems, although a lot of what I put on paper (or on blog in this case) just ends up sounding very much like Dr. Seuss on a rant.  Either way, the words that I've written over the years and will write in those to come need a forum.  Welcome to said forum!

I am a Southern Belle...turned divorced mother of two living in New England and trying not to freeze to death.  Life is a struggle most of the time, and writing has become my outlet now more than it ever has in my life.  Hopefully someone, somewhere will be able to connect with what I write about.  If you happen to be that someone please leave a comment or send me a message and let me know...kinds words are always welcome!
