Me? A Blogger?
When I told many of my friends that I was going to start a blog, the question they asked me every single time is “really? why?”. Why? Why was that always their answer? Don’t they think I’m interesting? Important? Funny? It took me over one year to finally cut out the time to learn how to do this and all they have to say is WHY? Note to self - don’t tell my friends anything. I say not to tell them things because now, as I sit down to write this, I realize that I want to write about them and they just may find out. What I’ve learned very quickly is that blogging is for me, not them, and it’s best to keep your secret thoughts to yourself and the many strangers who may want to read them. Now, I don’t want to sound like a friend-hater when actually I’m a friend-lover. Without them, insanity would be looking me straight in the face. It may be looking me in the face now, but at least it’s from a distance.
I wrote down nine nouns to describe who I am at my core. I thought I needed to share 
Mom - Enough said. My boys are my life! OK, now that’s a little dramatic but I just love being around them! They’re delicious!
Super Wife Wannabe - I love my husband, the life we’ve built, and the love we share during the ups and the downs.
Gym Rat - It gives me a natural high.
Self-help Book-aholic - I’m a work in progress. What can I say?
Diet Coke Lover - my drug of choice. I love the sound it makes when I crack one open first thing in the morning. I start to salivate. And yes, there is a difference!
Great Friend - There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for them. They’re all so perfect for me. I love the crazy ones the best (they’re crazy but harmless).
Memory Maker - I’m driven in life to build strong happy memories for my boys during their childhood.
Queen of All Things Elf - I love love love my product. It makes everyone so happy!
Bargain Hunter - While some people may laugh at this one, I’m not saying I’m cheap, I just like to buy expensive things at a lesser price. Not only that, but I have a strange compulsion to tell my friends about deals.
And secretly, I’m an early bird with self-diagnosed adult ADD. My thoughts are usually scrambled and if everyone could give me their information in 3 bullet points, I would greatly appreciate it. Well, everyone except J because she’s the best story teller.
So, there I am. Believe it or not, I’m all these things every day. Please join me on my journey! :) Also, if I die soon and my husband doesn’t know what to write about me, please forward my nine nouns to him asap!
