Edit: I’m having some code issues and can’t get a real About Me up at the moment. Really, I HATE coding. It’s true. In the meantime here are some fun facts and my very first post.
Fun Facts:
1. I despise lima beans
2. I cannot tell my left from my right. Seriously. It’s pretty bad.
3. When I grow up, I’d still like to be a princess. They’ve got to have easy access to an iPad, right?
———————————————————————————-
My very first post:
I have trouble getting started. I often decide things that I want to do and decide to do it….soon.
For instance: I am going to learn to make a blanket. Soon. It’s just that I can’t really read knitting patterns. And knitting classes are expensive. And I’d have to drive there. And what about finding parking? And I wouldn’t get to spend that night with my son. So, surely, I can just teach myself to do it instead. Except that when will I have time to figure it out? And books are a waste when I’ve heard there are websites that will teach me for free. And, and, and…
It’s not that I don’t do ANYTHING. It’s just that I can’t seem to find time for things that seem like a luxury to me. Ask my mom and my sister and they will tell you: I am not known for my splurging. I can always find a “better” use for my time or my money.
I’ve always wanted to write for a living. I never get around to investing the time or money in it. I’m afraid I will fail. I likely will too, because I’m not really trying. I’ve resolved to participate in NaNoWriMo this year (maybe in another post I’ll tell you what that is) but it doesn’t start until November. By then, I’ll probably have 100 reasons why I “can’t” do it.
My husband feels strongly that I should start a blog. To write, to maybe make some extra money for our family. He went out and bought me a program on how to make money doing this. He believes in me. I don’t. I know I am insecure and that insecurity will make me lazy. Procrastinators aren’t all that compelling to read I’ll bet. Also, I’m embarrassed – what if people think I’m silly (they will) or I say nasty things about other people (I almost certainly will. I hate things. I’m a hater.) What if, heaven forbid, my family finds out about this?
But today, my friend Ryan started a fan page for himself. My cousin Ross has a page for his art. Maybe I can do this too. I should probably tell somebody that I am.
But instead, mostly I sit here wondering how many failed projects have started with a single step. But I remind myself: the only way that things change, is if things change.
So, just do it lazy-ass.
I feel the same exact way about knitting. We're smart girls; we should definitely be able to learn by video, right. How hard can it be to make cute clothes!!!
You'd think so, no? But, talking to the videos and asking them to re-explain things has not gotten me all that far.
So, for me, perhaps not. If someone teaches me I'll totally pass it on to you though…
Wow. This sounds familiar! I like your blog. I'll be back for visits!
I can't tell my left from my right either! Seriously!
I also take part in Nanowrimo! I hope you decide to do it. We can help motivate each other or just complain about it…either way!
I can't tell my left from my right either
Hubbs always makes fun of me when I use my fingers for the L thing. Love your blog and can't wait to read more.
O-M-G… I HATE lima beans, I have to air spell my name with my finger to be able to differentiate between left and right and I totally want to be a princess- the dresses and the jewelry (ehh – not so crazy about the IPad but I digress.)
You're a pretty cool chick!
I hear ya about not being able to tell your right from your left. I have to do hand signals when giving out directions. Great blog!
Nice to meet you!
OMG I Sooooo understand this feeling!!! thats almost the EXACT feeling i was having when i wrote our first post.. hahaha definitly feel ya girl.
Man, really want to know how can you be that smart, lol…great read, thanks.
hi, you are funny. i think i will follow you now. and you can just ignore that i ever came or commented, or you can follow me back and be my friend. i would choose option 2 if i were you. because sometimes i am funny also. and other times (like now) i am just weird.
I can't tell my right from my left either… I thought I was the only one! Well me and Oprah, did you know she can't either? Thank God for the mole on my right arm.
I guess it is just the three of us. Now to wait for our talk show.
Recent follower and completely enjoying your blog.
I went on a test drive once and the salesman told me to take a left and I went right instead. I think he was speechless that a person who can't tell her left from her right was actually driving his car!
Love your blog. Hate lima beans. I'll be back!

Your left hand makes an “L” with your forefinger and thumb. You probably already know that.
I tried to comment on the recent post for Chalupa but I couldn't see any place to comment.
But I wanted to say hi – I think we have the same blog friends and I see you everywhere.
I am so enjoying your blog and humor! And your about me sounds a lot like me!
OMGoodness! I love this! I came over from PYHO, and was drawn to this about me page somehow. Your thoughts and my thoughts could get together and think about thoughts.
