My first post on this new blog. Daunting for several reasons, but mainly because I haven't written in WAY too long. And also because I'm not accustomed to typing my thoughts; I'm usually more old-fashioned with a pen and paper, you know... a fresh college-ruled notebook and a brand new pen. Who writes like that anymore?
So introductions are probably in order. Good day. I'm Amber. I'm currently 29 years old living in Indiana with my husband of 9 years and our two daughters, ages 2 and almost 4 1/2. We live in a 60-year-old ranch on an acre on the outskirts of a small city... kind of in the country but very close to city amenities which is just the way I like it. I could stand to live in a more secluded location, but that costs more money. And I'm a total tight-wad with money, so I'll stay on our acre.
I grow a vegetable garden that is going to be way too full of potatoes this year. And if the watermelon plant takes, I'm not sure where the bell peppers and aforementioned potatoes will do -- I'm envisioning some kind of vegetable war. And it could appear bloody if any watermelon burst. But I'm a peace-lover so hopefully it doesn't come to that... we'll attempt mediation at all costs.
So what else is there to know about me?
I was recently laid off from my job and I am using this time off of work to re-evaluate what I want to do with my life. Fortunately, I am in a position where I do not need to work (don't get me wrong, the extra money is wonderful, but it's not necessary for our survival), so I've been digging pretty deep into my recesses to see what all is down there. And do you know what I've found so far? A writing bug (and a whole lot of nothing else).
To whoever reads this: thanks for stopping by and come back often... I hope to make this blog a regular part of my life. I hope to bring some light-hearted humor, maybe an insight or two, and a lot of other pretty senseless (yet entertaining) nonsense.
