Finally, and what else is new!!!

I decided about a year ago to finally begin a blog. Too late to be cool, but I thought I would do it anyway. I am never at the forefront of technology. Well, since procrastination and perfectionism go so well together, I wouldn't post until I had the Perfect First Post. So, all this time later, I am diving in with what is arguably, the best beginning ever in blogdom. It is this post or nothing. Hopefully, if you stick with me, they will become more intriguing.

You know how everyone sends those "All About Me" emails? Well, I thought I would post something like that, just to get us started and help you know a little more about me and my crazy.

I love movies and TV. Old movies, classics, romantic comedy. DO NOT like scary or gross.

I love to cook, all things cooking, cookbooks, cooking shows, cooking and eating. I am the wife that loves getting kitchen stuff for birthday and anniversary gifts.

I long to live in the country, with the space and ability to keep, entertain, feed and take care of whomever would need it. (the horse would be the cherry on the top)

I have the spiritual gift of sarcasm. Do not try this at home.

I want desperately to be the wife, mother, woman and friend that God desires me to be while constantly feeling like I will never make it.

I was totally in love with Shaun Cassidy as a kid. My mom arranged for me to meet him at a taping of a TV show and I thought I might never recover from the delight!

I am very sentimental and can get ugly cry face very quickly. It is not pretty.

I don't like Seinfeld. I know, please don't judge me.

I would love to write anything...a cookbook, bible study, book, etc.

I am not a good starter (exhibit A--this blog) and an even lousier finisher, so don't look for the above any time soon.

I adore my husband and really am amazed that he asked.

I think sweats should be the national uniform of everything.

I would let Trinny and Susannah make me over and do whatever they wanted to me.

I love to be with people and I love to be alone.

I was blond until I was 6.

My accent morphs to reflect the accent of they people I am talking to, but generally, I speak hick.

I have no real tolerance for fake or inauthentic people.

I miss my grandmother everyday.

I have a sick obsession with pens. Carries over from childhood and the love of school supplies. I love them, can't get enough of them, but if I have a set of pens and one or more gets lost, I must get the set all over again. It is sick really, I must have the complete set.

I was baptized on Jan. 8th, 1988. Elvis' birthday. Thank you, thank you very much.

I hope you will join me on this journey of self discovery and I hope to learn from you too!!!!
