About the Blog

There is no earthly reason for me to have a blog.  There is nothing particularly special about my life, and no reason for anyone to read anything I write.  Except that I’m fascinating and crazy and I live quite the life.

Let’s just say I’m…in my mid-thirties.  I have a nice ex-husband who’s my best friend.  I have two cats and two dogs and a big, giant old house that I bought on a whim.  I am renovating said house…very slowly.  I live in a small village in upstate New York, where there is no reason for me to be.  I’m from Kansas.  My family is in Kansas.  I have few friends here–actually, I have only ONE friend here, Michelle.  Miss Shelly Belly.  She is in her mid twenties and loves video games.  I’ve had five jobs in the last three years, and would give just about anything for another new one.  I hate my job.  I always hate my job.  Perhaps because it’s the same job, over and over.

In my previous life, I was married and lived in Kansas City, Missouri.  I had one cat, and one dog, and one job.  Then my house burned in an arson fire, we moved cross-country, split up, and I had a terrible time finding a company I liked working for.  So I bitch about it.  A lot.  I bought this house because I desperately wanted a home, and it was calling out to me.  It was hard.  Really hard.  It’s a mess, and I can’t afford it, and I don’t know what I’m doing here.  But somewhere inside I believe this is what I’m supposed to be doing now.  I don’t know why.  I’m not religious, and I don’t believe in destiny, and I often want to quit and go home to the farm.  But I can’t quit.  So I fight on, trying to figure it all out.  And while I do, people might as well read about the funny and not-so-funny parts.  Right?
