Hi.
So this is my first blog, and I must say, I'm kinda nervous about it. See, I have this need to impress people with every. single. thing. I. do. So I guess that's why I sorta relate to the real housewives you see on Bravo every week. I want / need / yearn for attention, but you won't catch me turning over a table in a restaurant full of people or trying to force feed a "singing career" down all my friends' throats. No, I'm going to indulge my need for attention through this blog. So if you are reading this, thanks for the attention and I really hope you are impressed with my writing...I aim to give you a little chuckle or two or twenty :)
A little about myself: I'm a newlywed. We got married almost a year ago and it was pretty spectacular. T is everything I could possibly want in a husband. He lets me get away with just enough to keep me happy, but keeps me on the ground at the same time. He is incredibly patient and I really don't know how he deals with me. T is pretty much the male version of my sister B, who is my bff and has put up with my BS for years. I guess that's why I was drawn to T - I subconsciously knew he was just like B and would put up with my crap. Plus he has a cute butt.
I work for an arts organization. I don't know if I should say which one to "shield my identity" and what not, but most of my readers know me in real life so I guess it doesn't matter. Guys, this is my dream job. I literally have wanted to work here since I was 12. Can we say lucky?
We just purchased our first home. It was a really long process and I'm a bit jaded now that we are close to moving in. (Side note: I should be packing right now. Obviously I have no interest in doing that) I have a tendency to have, as they say, champagne dreams on a beer budget. I'm working through this issue and trying to love my house. I'll blog a bit more about this later, cause it is an interesting internal struggle which I'm sure many of you can relate to (at least a little).
So to summarize: this blog is a bit of an indulgence for me. I get your love and attention and I get to write and express my ideas, my likes/dislikes, and my struggles/triumphs as I navigate the next chapter of my life in a very small town that I swore I'd never go back to. Hopefully you'll join me on this little adventure.

You totally just beat me to it. I'm also starting a blog. I started one today but I won't post it 'til I get it the way I want. It takes some precious time.
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely be one of your doting fans ;)
So last night my sister and I were chatting about some Crosby drama we caught wind of, being that we don't live in Crosby and my sister says "it is all so dramatic, like Real Housewives Crosby Texas style." Then I wake up and you have a blog about RHW Crosby. Can you promise me as much drama on this blog? My life is so boring in Orlando. :(
ReplyDeleteI love reading blogs! You can count on me!
One other strange comment. I was thinking about grade school and I can remember what the back of James Couglin's head looks like, do you remember mine. Is that weird?
I have a blog too mer.
ReplyDeleteYou can find it on facebook under my website names
@Jen - Yeah I've been writing blogs for work and they are going over really well, so I thought why not do a personal one. Plus B started one and so it motivated me even more.
ReplyDelete@Becky (or do you go by Rebecca now - dang its been awhile!) Crosby drama never stops...I'm sure I'll get reigned back into it once we move there. And I'm cracking up at the elementary school memory - I'm right there with you! BTW your wedding pics = gorgeous!
@Kim - girl I know I've read it :-P
