5 Things About Me

I've never done a blog challenge before, but I've had a hard time getting myself to blog on a regular basis and I'd like to improve my writing skills so this seemed like a fun thing to try. I also like it's not Mom specific. That sounds horrible, but as a non full time step parent, I feel hypocritical participating in Mom blogging, but sometimes it feels like that's all that's out there! I enjoy reading about other people parenting experiences, but I don't feel comfortable joining in on the conversation. I think that's what drew me to this blog challenge.

So here goes nothing!  Self portrait that makes me look like I have facial deformity, even though I promise it's just the way the sun was coming in the car window and 5 things about me!
   

1. I am obsessed with office supplies. Post its, pens, notebooks, highlighters, calendars, file folders, binders and so on. Lack of funds keeps me from camping out at Office Depot and the office supply aisle of Target. For all the supplies I have, I should be more organized than I am!

2. I never had a cup of coffee until I was on my second date with my now husband. He ordered a coffee and so did I so he would think I was cool. I now have at least one cup everyday! (My step daughter loves that story so much!)

3. As you will soon see I am a horrible editor of really anything. My brain just automatically seems to correct any errors as I read them. I can read things 10 times be convinced everything is fine, hit post and suddenly 10 things are spelled wrong. I need more than spell check I just need someone with more of an attention span to read and find errors for me. If they could also do my make up, my hair and make sure my outfit looks decent everyday I'd really have all my needs met!

4. I resisted hubby’s attempts to get me on Twitter for over a year but many of podcasts I like kept referencing it, so I finally logged in one Sunday. Within two hours Twitter was buzzing with the death of Osama Bin Laden! Quite the introduction to Twitter and the first time I really understood the power of social media.

5. If necessary I could sustain myself on Ritz crackers and cheddar cheese.

So that's five! So far so good, let's see if I make it through day 2!
