I am a big people watcher...BIG. I'm the friend that doesn't realize you've stopped talking until 5 minutes later because I'm too engaged in what's happening with the people one table over. Well, I'm not usually that bad unless I'm by myself & then let the people watching begin!
So you can imagine my frustration in finding out there are no journals, no diaries...not even leftover notes on scrap paper from my mom's life before me. As much as I like to people watch & I'll never know what her life was like back then (I guess I can always ask her, but...blah. Memory fades, I want to hear the stories as they were happening!)
This is one of the many reasons I've decided to start a blog (or a blob as mom calls it). I want a record of my life for future babes (and babes' babes) to read. I also have been really lame when it comes to writing in a journal. I'm lucky if I write in it once a year & I figured since my laptop is usually attached to my....lap (yeah, I went there) maybe there's more of a chance I'll update this.
Let's see, to sum it up: I am 26, live in Austin & am currently single. Ah, the dreaded S word. The last of my single best friends ties the knot in approx. 4 months, so the days of being "Fun, single Aunt Kelly" are fast approaching. I don't mind being single, living alone has been great, but also fast approaching are the feelings of wanting to settle down & start having those babes. I guess that clock has started ticking....yikes!
So, there it is...my very 1st blog. Who knows how often this will be updated, could be every day, every week, month, or if the trend with the journal continues.....we'll just say "see you next year"!
