The Beginning

What’s more difficult than starting a blog, including coming up with an original title and purpose? Describing me. Fortunately, I cannot sum myself up in a quirky sentence or saying, and I cannot sum myself up in a paragraph either. Maybe a book…but, I am definitely not a writer. So I join the ranks of countless anonymous (and not so anonymous) bloggers. So…

(takes deep breath)

I am a bitch. This has many meanings, not just the most popular derogatory one. I am the Alpha female of my family, probably of my friends, my little team of workers, and anything else I can dominate. I try to control as much as possible because I just can’t handle chaos...and quite frankly, I can organize anything better than anyone I know. I’m independent, direct, and temperamental. I am definitely a product of my breeding and upbringing (which is a whole other story in itself). I’m 30-something, single in the legal sense, educated enough to be considered educated, successful enough that I don’t struggle (much), and as opinionated as it gets. I know what I want, and have little patience. I protect my close family, friends, and my dogs as if I were a crazed animal protecting her young. I let very few people close to me. I love to people watch. I can cook...well. I’m conservative. I am a wine drinker (not a collector, and not a connoisseur). I love chocolate almost as much. I am a proud Texan, born and raised. I’m a veteran. I have a short fuse, and a quick temper. But I am kind, and considerate for the most part. I love to travel. I like plants, and I love food. I hate exercise, but I love yoga. I could shop for a living, if there was such a profession (realistically), but I am a bargain hunter. I would rather be reading or sleeping than anything else. And there’s something about being around water that makes me happy no matter what.

I think I’ve said quite enough for my first post.
