Day 01-Introduce Yourself

Yep. That's me. Its a few months old. This was after I got several inches of hair hacked off. No, my hair doesn't always look like that. That's straight from a salon. I don't have the talent to do anything with my hair.

Yeah. That's pretty much all I can do with my own hair. Cest la Vie. I hate it anyway

I'm old. OK, I'm not extremely old. But I have issues with age. I'll be 28 in 10 days. Woopdie doo.

I'm married to Nate. He's not too bad. He was my best friend for years. When things fell apart with Alan, he was there to help me. He knows me better than most people. Which is impressive as I'm not an easy person to get to know. Way too many walls. He's a punk. But he does make life interesting. He's in the Air Force obviously. Which is why I'm living in South Dakota. We met through Alan actually. He's younger than me. A fact I obsess about often.  

It was a very snowy day. It was cold. I don't like the cold. 

I have 2 children. Brandon is 6 and Sami is 4. Situations are difficult and the situation with Brandon is difficult to explain. He's happy though and doing great. I love him.

Sami is my world. I love her more than I can express. I cannot fathom how to be without her. She is my rock. She is what anchors me to this world and she is stubborn and funny. She is fire. She is my world.

Spring 2010

Christmas 2010

I work from home as a social media Moderation Specialist. I love my job. No, its not a scam. Trust me. I'm just blessed to work for an awesome company. I've been there since the beginning of December. 

I am an administrator for a forum for military family and friends. Its interesting. I also volunteer with Nate's squadron. 

Oh, and I write for the base writers corp. I have a busy life. Its good.

I hate being cold. I'm constantly cold. Yes, some of that is from the fact I live in South Dakota. But I've honestly not been warm for a long time. 

I miss Texas. A lot. 

As much as I bitch and moan and complain about winter, I enjoy shoveling snow. Its cathartic for me.

I watch a lot of documentaries. I love Netflix Instant Watch for this. 

I'm a huge Star Trek, Star Wars and Harry Potter nerd. Yes, I admit it. Nate won't let me name our child Hermione. 

No, I'm not pregnant. I have no plans to be pregnant any time soon. If ever again. 

I have few friends. I just have a hard time getting close to people. 

When I was 16, I got pregnant. I gave birth a few months after my 17th birthday and placed the baby for adoption. It still hurts. Every single day. But I don't regret my decision. 

I don't like being touched. But if I let you hug me or if  I hug you, its usually a good sign I trust you or that I like you. Otherwise, I am very particular about my personal space. This is a relatively recent thing. I used to be very affectionate and friendly. 

I have Celiac disease. I'm not suppose to be eating anything with wheat in it. I have a very, very hard time with it because I suck at self control. Even though I know I shouldn't, I still consume it. Which makes me sick and causes a lot of pain. I know. I'm an idiot. But I am working on it. I hope to be completely gluten free by the end of year. 

I'm a pretty positive person. Nate disagrees and calls my realism pessimism.

I do believe that is it for now!

I'm sure I'll add to it later.
