I did it.
I've been thinking about creating a blog for quite some time, but wrestled with a few reasons not to...
Time- this was a pretty easy fix. I just read a bunch of the motivational quotes I use to inspire me to exercise. They only work about 1/14th of the time when I use them for exercise, but they worked for this! More on that in another blog, I'm sure.
Offending someone- Okay I admit, this one I still worry about. I will begin by yelling from the rooftops that I am not claiming to have anything figured out. In fact, I sometimes leave the house with bad eyebrows and I recently read that someone with bad eyebrows shouldn't be trusted to give advice. I am not an expert in any field, especially life. None of us are. We are all trying our hardest to figure this thing out. We all have different priorities, beliefs, values, lifestyles...honestly, we are all just trying to live a life that is true to our souls and makes us happy. I am going to be opinionated on here (those of you that know me well are like, "duh."), but I also want it to be known that I am aware and respect that we aren't going to agree on everything. Odds are, I'm going to say something you don't like. Odds are, you've said things I wouldn't like either. Who cares?! The reason I've decided to look past my fear of offending someone is that, well..I know that my heart is in the right place. About 99% of the time, I'm not trying to hurt anyone. That other 1% is reserved for spiders and those inflicting harm on my babies or husband. Just like at happy hour with my girls I'll be a straight shooter, but I mean well and I'll also be the first to celebrate your wins (another round!) and soften your blows (make that two!). Oh...and I will probably cuss and talk about racy things...it's happy hour!
The point- I love writing. It's always been therapeutic for me (sorry for the novels, ex-boyfriends). I love yummy drinks and urge you to try some yourself. I LOVE girl talk, though I really need to think of a new name for that because I can't type it without seeing pink, doing a hair flip and extending the a. I love happy hour, which is really just the combination of yummy drinks and girl talk, but I don't get to go as much as I'd like to. Ultimately, it's because I feel like it :)
What to expect? posts about being her- about being a wife, mommy, step-mom, professional, student, friend, sister, daughter, ex-girlfriend, in-law, former server/bartender, dreamer, realist... the list goes on. I'll probably also post some quotes, pictures, links, recipes, reviews...anything you would talk about (say it with me) at happy hour.
I hope you enjoy reading. Cheers!
