I thought I was anti-blogging. Not that I ever had issues with other
people blogging. I just never thought I would jump on that particular
bandwagon. Even after I created this account, I sat around for a few
hours wondering why I did it, and if I would ever write anything.
Not sure if my hesitation stemmed from a fear that someone will
actually read this, or a fear that no one will ever read it.
Regardless, this is my first blog post, in all its dull glory. And
who knows, it could very well be my last. I'm not committing to
regular posts, because that would just be a blogging death sentence,
sure to inspire writer's block.

the facts
I am: female, 30, yankee born, dixie raised, living in the midwest, writing a memoir, & chronically seeking adventure.
I have: a tendency to be dramatic, a husband who is far from dramatic, a loud and lovable family, friends I would lie down in traffic for, & a killer sweet tooth.
I write: for practice, for sanity, & to capture the everyday things that make me grateful.

quotes i [try to] live by
"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." -Mother Teresa
"Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered. Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the universe loves nothing so much as to change things which are and to make new things like them. For everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be." -Marcus Aurelius
