ABOUT

I have no idea what I am doing.

There. I have confessed. The life of a grown up eludes me and though curious and mostly desirous of things like schedules and a clean house, I still refer to myself as a kid. That may be a relative perspective, but nearing thirty, I think it's a stretch. I'm kind of a mess. I always have 16 projects going simultaneously. I have 10 new ideas before I'm out of the shower in the morning. I am constantly dragging around two or more bags at all times for the various commitments I have made for one single day. I knowingly break grammar rules, make up words and write ominously with elipseses. I somehow managed to convince this hottie to marry me and buy me a house:

Although, he's kind of a mess too. I like to describe us as 'two messed up kids that found each other'...

Anyway, I started this blog because, for one, despite my obnoxious grammar, I like to write. It's the only thing that I have ever done consistently and probably will continue to do until I die. I think it's going to be my legacy. Also, as an avid reader and devourer of blogs myself, I was sick of looking at the same old lifestyle blogs that showcased perfect women, with perfect teeth and perfect children that baked perfect cakes and their crafts were never ever sloppy. SHUT. UP....

I wanted to write a blog for the rest of us. For the kids who are still puzzled as to how exactly to balance a checkbook, cook a grilled cheese without burning it and how the hell to navigate the waters of marriage without committing vehicular homicide. I'll try to keep it light sometimes, but the disclaimer is here that I'm pretty introspective. A lot of my writing will be honest, raw, thoughtful and I'll probably address things that aren't always comfortable.

But stick around... it's bound to be hilarious watching me learn how to be an adult... and hopefully you can take some lessons out of it for yourself and be comforted that you're not the only clueless idiot overwhelmed by all the crap that we are supposedly supposed to know by now.
