I'm going to start my blog by sharing a secret with you... Okay, I know what you are thinking: "What, so early in our relationship?! Don't give the milk away without making them buy the cow!" (Okay, E, get real. What are the chances anyone is actually reading this? Probably nil-ish.)
Okay, you ready? Shhhhh..... here it is:
I've always wanted to be a writer. I love reading. When I call myself an avid reader, it isn't a term, it's an accurate description. I CONSUME books the way the Trunchbull made that kid consume that massive chocolate cake on Matilda. Like, until they make me sick. (Okay, maybe not quite, but I do often lose sleep because of them). And because I love reading, I've always wanted to be a part of the creation of books. One of my proudest memories is from a school assignment in 8th grade where we had to write an autobiography. I spent weeks working on that assignment, and when I got it back, my teacher had written on the top "forget becoming a pediatrician, you should write." Obviously there's hidden talent here, right?
But let's take a trip back to reality. I'm an educator. A school counselor. I don't have time to write the next Great American Novel. And even if I did, I'm way too scattered to sit and type out a novel. To create a work of fiction with nothing but my imagination and a computer with a screwy "m" key. I'm not just being negative, I know this. I tried once (aaaaand there's secret #2, folks). But that doesn't mean I don't want to write at all. Which brings us to... Adventures in Okie Land.
I'm a woman of many varied interests. Besides reading, I also enjoy crafting, baking, cooking, creating, and shopping. And, well, it depends on the day. Mostly, I love the adventure that is life.
My adventure is based around my husband, C, and our fur-baby, Sage. These two are my world. Adventure, to me, is not just something you go on, it is a way of life. C and I are constantly joking and laughing, Sage is constantly keeping us on our toes... this life, to me, is the greatest adventure. I hope to share with you, my loyal readers, (or my diary, if that's the case), some of those adventures in my daily life. It may be a short story, a craft adventure I've been working on, or even some yummy new bakery creation... Get ready for the adventure, whatever it may be. Feel free to comment if you take the time to read these ramblings... I would love to hear from you!
Live from Okie Land,
E
