Reader by nature
I'm not a writer. In fact I hate writing and am secretly envious of everyone who can easily let the words roll of their tongue. I don't understand twitter and I think all of my facebooks posts deserve 100 likes. But I don't think people understand what I'm saying most of the time. I'm trying to blog more, and I have stuff I want to say. Its just finding the time to sit down and write and not erase everything.
Reading, I love. I have 32 books checked out at the library right now. Some about adoption, some for fun, some dealing with tweens. (a whole other story) And some for learning to knit and crochet.
So my goal is to write more, to share more. To not be afraid that I sound like a dork when I write and put my words out there. Maybe they have a book on writing blogs!
Happy weekend everyone!

random things part 1
Seems like every blog I read does one of these posts. So I'll give it a shot. And I'm linking up to another blog. Hopefully I do this right.
1. I am allergic to everything. And its getting worse the older I get. Tree nuts, dander, pollen, mold, dogs, cats, and now pretty much any standard cosmetic.
2. I love makeup and hair care products, but because I'm allergic to most, its become a treasure hunt to find something that won't make me break out, swell up or itch like crazy.
3. I love etsy, pinterest and facebook. I could spend all day looking at stuff online.
4. Lists are my thing. I have a hundred little post it notes floating around my purses, in my car, in the kitchen, in the den. The satisfaction of crossing something off a list is hard to pass up.
5. I'm so messy. I have a love/hate relationship with cleaning. Toilets and dishes are the worst. I don't mind vacuuming and cleaning counters/tables.
6. I love to do laundry. We used to live in my grandma's house (built 1940's) and the laundry was in the basement. The washer was hooked up to the utility sink and when it would empty all the nasty water would pour into the sink. I loved seeing how gross the water was and knowing I was getting all those germs out of my clothes. Disgusting, I know.
7. I love going to concerts. I love listening to live music. We try and go every year, but who knows about this year. My two favorites are Pearl Jam and Tool.
8. I hate walking into a place I've never been before. I try and make my husband go with me to new places. I'm always afraid I'm going to go the wrong way, or do the wrong thing.
9. I hate talking on the phone. I hate ordering in the drive thru. I hate giving speeches. When I turned 16 I would try and get my younger brother to order for me. I think he did it once and we got some weird looks when we pulled up to the window.
10. If I am out at a restaurant, I don't like to order what anyone else is ordering. As a teenager, my friends would try and get me to order first and then order the exact same thing as me. I would then change my order at the last minute.
11. I miss playing soccer. I played from 6 years old until about 26 years old. I coached my stepson a few years ago and loved it. If I can ever get back into shape and find the time, I will be playing again.
That's it for now. If anyone is reading this link up and tell me about yourself.

starting up again
Its been awhile since I posted. Life got busy. Work and the kids keep us spinning. We were looking into moving but the options didn't pan out like we thought. So we are tabling the idea and hoping the market turns around in the next year. In the mean time we have big plans to keep us even more busy.

the busiest time of the year
I haven't been able to get into this blogging thing. Things are so busy in our lives. December is always a crazy month, Christmas, our anniversary, my niece's birthday. There just isn't enough time in the day to do it all. My house is always a mess and my to do list always has too much on it. Hoping to get on here more and add some pics of the kids.

1st post
Not sure where this blog will go, but excited to start the journey. The title of the blog is taken from one of my favorite pearl jam songs, present tense.
