The First Post Is Already A Lie

Yep, that's right. It's a lie. For I am not a girl. I am a woman of 30-ish (ishness). I have 4 children and 1 step-child, so I'm either a VERY naughty girl, or I'm not a girl at all.

To lay some groundwork here for you, the all knowing, all reading interneted-ness people. I type what I think in my head. Sometimes, the little typer gnomes in my fingers like to go out for a drink or two. This results in typos, with a side of over-punctuation. It is not an everyday occurrence, and goodness knows that I do try and proofread everything. I can guarantee that even with proofreading, I'm going to miss a few things.

Now. 42.7% of you have determined that this blog no longer worth your time. You know who you are. I can state this with great certainty because I have made the rounds on the message boards long enough to realize that many women gain quite a sense of superiority from trashing some one's grammar, or lack there of. I have not remained innocent in this, and I will admit to cringing when I see someone type a post out in "text speak". I rarely, however, shun the person completely because of it. I truly find myself to be amusing, and each officer of the grammar police will need to determine on their own if I am amusing enough to power through the occasional typo or not.

That little disclaimer aside, let's power forward!

As I mentioned, I am somewhere in my 30's, all well on my way to Jon and Kate status. KID status. I'd prefer to stay married to lug of an adorable husband. Well, at least for this hour. We have 4 children together, and he has one from a previous marriage. We have no plans for more. We are not independently wealthy, and I don't have the "some one's missing" feeling that I had after the first 3 kids.

I am a photographer. No, really. I'm not just saying that. It's not a full time thing, but I don't think my nerves are up to shooting a wedding every weekend, so it works out well. Depending on how this thing goes, I'll post pictures at some point.

I suppose now would be a good time to explain the meaning behind my blog name, but I believe I'll save that for the next post.

And there you go...
