Gotta start somewhere...

My very first blog! Yipee!!

I have to be honest, this wasn't my idea. My husband Jared has been telling me I should "blog" for almost a year now. He claims he likes the way I write, but really I think he is trying to get in my pants. Honey, we are married now - I'm a sure thing. :)

Either way, here I am writing my very first post. So, if this things turns out to be a stroke of genius please give me a little credit, and if instead it is one huge pile of epic-failure-ness it was all Jared's idea.

A little about myself: Well, first of all, writing an ABOUT ME is not my forte. How do you even begin that? Um, I am 27, college educated, Caucasian female, dual income household... Okay, I feel like I am filling out my damn taxes. Ok, scratch the ABOUT ME, who cares...

I decided to entertain the idea today about the time I realized I needed to hold myself accountable for working out. My gf Kristin lent me her "Insanity" DVD's and I thought it "Sane" to take her up on the gesture. Instead of doing what I normally do i.e. buying the whole pack for more money than I make in a week, doing them once, then miserably giving up, I would start a blog to help me stay on track. The thought of a workout blog though, made me a little uneasy. I don't even like to track my own progress, let alone someone else's, so why on earth would anyone want to read mine?

Hmm, what else am I good for? I like to be crafty, sew, travel and do all kinds of girly, and not so girly things. However, rather than share with the entire internet world what our lives look like behind the silver lining of Facebook pictures, why not post about what I enjoy most? Hey, if nothing else, I will print out this little-blog-that-could in a year or so and have it as a wonderful reminder of the first year of our marriage.

Alas, I decided to blog about my life. Life as a newlywed, trying to start a family. Life as two wino's that enjoy food, friends and family. Life as a young woman, trying to keep her head above water, and her ass on the treadmill. Life; going from one bottle, to the next.

Okay bloggers near and far... or in my case, Mom... stay tuned, more posts to come.
