Well, it's a New Year and I'm HAPPY and new here - hence my blog/post
title - Happy, New Here!
Let's see......where to start?
Well, I lost my job,
unceremoniously, in the middle of a Christmas party on December 22, 2012 (more
on that real HIGH point in my career later boys and girls - fear not, there are more than
a few chuckles to be had there!) and I have to say, it was the BEST gift I've
ever received. It has spurred me on to making 2013 the best year yet (and as
I'll be 45 in February, I'd say it's been a long time coming) by following some
dreams down the proverbial "rabbit hole" to find out, once and for
all, where they take me! Consider this your invitation to come along! I can't
say yet just where we're going, but I can guarantee you it'll be a hilarious
journey! Cause I'm nothing, if not the biggest f#%& up you've ever met!
So, to start with, I'm going to be pursuing three specific
"career" dreams that I've had for quite some time. A.) First and
foremost in my dream job category - WRITER (novelist, blogger, poet, screenwriter,
greeting card or fortune cookie fortune author......A WRITER damn it!) So to ease me kick my ass into
gear, I hereby challenge myself to write, something - ANYTHING every day! It is
my resolve to set aside a minimum of one half hour each and EVERY day to WRITE damn it! (be warned, it may be nothing more than the lyrics to whatever obscure, catchy, or currently overplayed song that I happen to have stuck in my head on any given day!) (Note to self - updating your Facebook status DOES NOT count!) 2.)
The thing that brings me joy only second to writing is PHOTOGRAPHY - so, I have
challenged myself to take a picture EVERY day of 2013! and C.) An artist (I
prefer "mixed media", in other words - JUNK! I can turn something
from junky to funky in two shakes and I intend to do so - just as with my
writing and photo challenges I have set a goal of one "art" project
per week for all of 2013! I don't know where I'll find the time, let alone the
room to pursue this last challenge (the garage is occupied by my husband's
"mistress" a black Corvette, and he doesn't like me to get too close
to her! But hey, what man ever wants his wife and mistress in the same room,
eh?)
In addition to this, my "main" blog, (the one I will ramble aimlessly upon, chatting about everything from my need to lose this weight I can't seem to get rid of thank you steroids the gift that keeps on giving, the absolutely brutal breakup with my former "best friend" who just will not go away no matter how many times I say DO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN, my quest to perfect the Scorpion pose - mainly due to the fact that I love the 80's hairband the Scorpions, my goal to cook an honest-to-God home cooked meal for my hard-working, devastatingly handsome husband, my many, MANY kooky hang ups - I promise, you will NOT believe some of the absolute shit rubbish that occupies my somewhat addled brain at any given moment), I will be setting up other blogs - to be more specific to
each interest (in the future, once I get the hang of this creature called blogging) so come along, pick one, or follow them all and let's see how far we
get and where we wind up on December 31, 2013 when we look back at this experiment in hilarity! Should be a blast, or at least
make for some great laughs! Because, as I stated previously, I'm a big f#%&
up, but I promise I'm NOT dull!
Now, where to start?!?! Did I happen to mention I have a
pretty severe case of ADD? No? And what about the Bipolar? Failed to mention
that too huh??? Well, you can't say you weren't warned!!!
So here's your chance - RUN!
Oh, still here? So I see you have some "quirks" too huh? Great! Now buckle
up kiddies - it's bound to be a bumpy, albeit rip-roaringly hilarious ride!
And away we go..................
