Welcome!

 Here goes nothin'...

 (Gigi's expression is a perfect glimpse into how I feel about this whole transition from facebook to blog world...)

Well, after the entire Chick-fil-A debocle and the use of Facebook as a political and cultural opinion forum my brain hurt and I made a life-changing decision. I was going to deactivate my facebook account. After all, I really only used it to look at cute babies and pretty weddings so  when it became a platform to voice intelligent, societal views on complicated issues, I decided I needed to pull the plug. No more was the time of just shallow picture-looking. BUT, then... I got cold feet. How would I be able to stock the random people that I had not seen in years and look at their children, animals, vacations, weddings, etc? I may have not spoken to you in like 10 years, but man, I love looking at pictures of your dogs dressed up as humans and you and your husband/wife drinking Mai Tais on your honeymoon. Call it creepy, I just call it "entertainment".

But, then came the turning point FOR REAL. The facebook "man" pulled a Watergate and broke into my account and put me on timeline. WAY too sophisticated for me. So adios facebook, hello blog. Since the coon crew is back, I wanted to make sure that everyone could stay updated on how it was going.  

So, before you get too invested in this little experiment, I want to give you a few disclosures/warnings. First of all, I rarely finish things I start. This blog may be one of those things... just sayin'. I love Jesus, I love doing good things and helping others. I (sometimes) think profound things, but rarely do I have earth-shattering revelations that will enlighten and inspire the world. I love arts and crafts and DIY projects as much as the next girl. Healthy food, green living, and organic recipes are great. BUT, Sometimes all of the greatness in the world that is highlighted on the internet: super moms who grow their own cabbage and make wonderful meals out of it that their kids and husband will eat, those who can take cheesecloth and zip ties and make a designer dress, others that only feed their kids items that are 100% “natural”, Beautiful scriptures that inspire one to change the world, making a maserful piece of art with recycled coffee grinds... all those things just make me want to take a nap and eat cheese wiz and go to Walmart. 

Don’t get me wrong. This stuff is awesome and I commend and look up to these amazing women, but let's just face it, not all entirely realistic for everyone; and, that is okay. In fact, I have this great characteristic of pretty much being mediocre at everything. I can do a lot of things, but most are down on an average level. I feel pretty good about it, though.

I accept it and I have come to terms with the fact that this blog is probably not going to change anyones life. I do hope it makes you smile. AND,  if by some miraculous reason, you do, be sure to credit me. This is my attempt at documenting random musings and experiences that I hope others will appreciate and helppeople to realize that you really can put the FUN in dysfunctional.  This is my life. Take it or leave it. Although, I hope you take it.
