About January 8, 2008

So, you want to know about me? I guess some of you do because my blog stats say that this page is visited a lot. Sorry to disappoint until now. Truth be told, I didn’t really know how to get information on this page until a little link popped up today. I probably could have figured it out, but who has the time?? Ahem. But I digress…

 

What to say? Well, I’m a twenty-something single girl that lives in Colorado. I started this blog when I moved here from California a few years ago to keep in touch with friends and family and wound up finding out that it’s actually a pretty fantastic outlet for me to pour thoughts that swirl in my head day after day into written form. I’ve always been one of those people that figures things out by writing them out on paper, so I guess this e-version is not that different from a journal page fit for public consumption.

 

I currently work at a Christian publishing company after my illustrious career in life insurance ended.  I’m the oldest of three sisters and aunt to Karis Hope, my middle sister Lindsay’s new wee one.  I talk with my parents frequently and love them to pieces. They are wise amazing parents that taught me most everything I know. I live in a house with two other fabulous roommates and am a sucker for most reality TV, especially American Idol.  I also find that I spend way too much time on Facebook (notice how that sounds like it’s not my fault?)

 

I’m very involved in my church and love to sing in the choir and small groups. I am currently the editor and writer for the Women’s Ministry newsletter there and am enjoying doing that. Most nights I like to be busy with activities and people…though I have slowed down a bit and spend more time at home now-a-days.  Most remember me by my pun-like wit.

 

I rarely cook, but I enjoy it when I have the time, especially when it’s for other people.  I am notorious for leaving my shoes in random places in the house and my mail untouched for days at a time.  My favorite book in the whole world is Atonement Childby Francine Rivers, but my newest favorite authors are Susan Meissner and Cindy Woodsmall.  My favorite two TV series are The West Wing and Gilmore Girls…what can I say? I’m drawn in by the wit and fast-talking action. I also love using acronyms in every day speak and drinking cold beverages out of warm mugs.  I am a Starbucks groupie…I LOVE their advertising and marketing…and their vanilla chai lattes. I also can’t get enough of Real Simple magazine, the only one I read from cover to cover on a regular basis. I suppose no grouping like this would be complete without mentioning my happy place – Target. I avoid it as much as possible because it’s impossible for me to go in, grab ONE THING and get out. My bank account thanks me for my restraint.

 

In general, I’m a fairly cluttered person, though I’m trying to turn over a new leaf. I’m a packrat and it is also widely known that I am a hypochondriac, though I battle that all the time and am trying to work through my issues.

 

So, now you know a little ABOUT me.  But we all know that if you read my blog at all, you knew most of that anyway, right? BTW, thanks for checking my blog. It’s fun to get your comments and know that you all care about what I write!
