Contrary to what the title of this blog may have you believe, I love having a child and love every minute of his screaming and his laughter. Henry is 3 and the light of our life. We are currently trying for baby number 2 and I’d like to have more after that, if the Lord allows. We’ll see, you never know what could happen. My husband, Adam, is the best father on the face of the planet, hands down. I know what you’re thinking: your baby’s daddy is the best. I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree here . My husband is the man that I always dreamed existed, but my reality didn’t give me the opportunity to believe in. He’s everything to me, and without him our family wouldn’t be what it is. I’m so blessed.
Anywho, about me…right…okay.
I love watching reruns of “Roseanne” on TV Land. I love Haagen-Dasz Brown Sugar ice cream. It’s actually bordering on an addiction at this point. I hate cooking dinner. Actually, I just hate cooking in general. I love kissing my son’s little chunky hands and squeezing the crap out of him. OUT OF LOVE of course. My favorite thing to do to burn off stress is run, and now it’s to run and write on my blog! My favorite place in the world is Portland, Oregon. But in another time and place, it would be Manhattan. I border on fashion-obsessed and love reading. Reading is a passion of mine that is evident by the numerous homeless stacks of books all over our tiny house. The one bookcase we have is full and I’m too lazy to go buy and put together another one. Speaking of bookcases, I would marry Ikea if it were a man. That store is like a little slice of heaven unless it is crowded and overflowing; okay, that place is always crowded and overflowing, who am I kidding? I really can’t stand being behind slow drivers in the left lane. I have terrible self-esteem. Helping those that don’t have the blessings I have is a way that I worship. I cry at crappy, cliched rom-coms, and I cannot watch horror movies. I love “The Office”, “I Survived..”, “Kell on Earth”, “Weeds”, “Project Runway”, and so many more I can’t even list them all. When my husband earned his Masters in Law, I cried like he was my firstborn graduating from high school. I was really scared when he took over his father’s law practice; I couldn’t imagine having even less time together. But it’s all worked out quite well. I got my degree from Eastern Washington University, but I’ll always be a Florida Gator in my heart of hearts (I went there my freshman year and then transferred). I wanted to be an English professor, but double-majored in Business Administration and HR instead. Why, you ask? I still have no clue. Must’ve been all the booze. I used to really hate when people were mad at me, but if I’ve apologized for any wrongdoing and they’re still mad, or they’re mad for no apparent reason, I just move on and pray that their heart will be softened in time. I’ve never really had a great group of girlfriends, except for those rare few that have been with me since childhood. I’m a Catholic Christian, but I am an open-minded individual as well. I love all kinds of people, from all walks of life. I love interior design, too. I almost went back to school for Interior Design, but I always come back to my passion for writing. And that’s a little bit about me. Actually, that’s a whole lot about me. Wow, what a bunch of useless information I just wrote down. If you’re still reading this, thanks for sticking around!

P.S. I keep coming back to this page and updating it. It’s like I’m learning more about myself the more I blog. It’s so true: you find yourself through what you write to the world about yourself.
