So what’s this blog all about?

Let’s go over the things I am not:

I am not a…

….Mommy blogger

….soon-to-be Mommy blogger

….Daddy blogger

….Food blogger

….Fitness blogger

….Fashion blogger

….Celebrity Gossip blogger

….Tech blogger

or even Home Improvement blogger (though I’d love for one to take me on as a project)

I don’t know if you can classify me. Lifestyle blogger? Wife blogger? Are those even classifications?

I do like to talk about food on here. Those posts seem to be most popular, so I will keep those up, but I am not going to make that everything I talk about. See Tastychomps or EatLocalOrlando for good Orlando food recommendations.

I do talk about working out. Well one or two times. And I will probably mention it some more, but I am not going to give you a run down of what I did at the gym each day, well unless you want that. But that seems boring to me, and then I’d also have to remember it.

I do talk about some fashion and shopping. I have in the past, and if I see something, I won’t be afraid to mention it. I might lust after something, like this….. But really I am not a fashionista, I am not good at it. I think hubby is better at picking outfits out for me than I am.

Celebrity gossip I leave to the pros. Dlisted and Idontlikeyouinthatway are my go tos. I might mention my favorite celebs here or there, for example Victoria Beckham, but don’t hate me if you hate her.

But I will continue to beg for a home improvement blogger to come and help me with my house. Haha! If I was better at this home improvement thing, this would be that kind of blog. As I have mentioned before I love …. And …. I lust after some of the projects they do. If only….I wasn’t so lazy.

Hubby and I met at a WingHouse. The one in Altamonte to be specific. We had met many times before, but this was the time we REALLY met. You know when you have a connection, a spark, something special. This was it.

Faith No More was playing on the in house music system. I mentioned something about how I really loved them, and their album titled, Album of the Year. From what I can remember, hubby stopped everything, turned his attention to me, and we proceeded to discuss Faith No More for a while. Then he asked me out. Did I hesitate, yes, because I was an intern at the radio station. His station, no, but same building, and I didn’t want to mess up his job or my internship. My boss happened to be there, so I asked him, he was cool with it, so the rest is history, right.

Pretty much. We were inseparable after that. We connected and clicked. Our families were one big family, it just made sense. In yet we didn’t rush off to get married. Plenty of people after even just two years of dating asked us the question, “When are you guys getting married?” We knew it would happen but we weren’t ready. When we met I was still in college, and finished up a year later, but I was just starting out, and figuring out life after school, so to get married wasn’t for us just yet. Six years after that first meeting we got married.

When people say marriage was the best day of their life, I agree. It was an awesome party to celebrate how much fun we had already had together and planned to have in the future. I could not have asked for a better day, although I will never plan a wedding again, it’s just too stressful.

So it’s been a while, I know. Get mad at me, throw things, but I promise I am back.

Let me recap the last two months for you.

The reason I stopped writing for a while was that I was in a funk. Not a personal funk, a work funk. I wasn’t seeing myself going anywhere with the company that I was with, and that was really disappointing. I never gave less than 110% at work, but when I got home I was moody, didn’t want to do things, except sit around and watch TV. I felt myself taking it out on the hubby. I even stopped riding my bike and running, and boy do my clothes feel that.

But then an amazing thing happened when we were on our way to Atlanta for hubby’s birthday. I was offered a job, not just any job, a job at a PR firm, where I could get back to what I loved and wanted to do. It was the light I needed, the pushed I wanted, and the opportunity I craved. I was excited, I was nervous, but knew this was what I needed to grow, and help my family. The opportunities I have before me are great, I can grow, I can learn and I can use my brain to be creative. I have been there almost a month and even though I still have so much to learn it’s exciting that I am learning. I enjoy the process of developing a proper pitch, I like talking to the media because I was one of them. I want to learn and be better faster, but I know it’s a process. I have to thank everyone I work with now for helping me in that process, I’m excited now for the future.

Hubby is happy for me. He has commented on how my mood has changed. Maybe it is because I get to spend more time with him, which is strange because the whole time we’ve been together I have never had such a normal schedule. We joked that I was going to crave a weekend to work, just to get away. That hasn’t happened.

I do miss everyone at my old job. Being there four years you become a family and they know everything about you, almost. There were ones that were harder to leave than others, and I miss that daily interaction, but I know we won’t lose touch. Interestingly enough, I left a job where I had 250 other co-workers, now I have seven in my office. But like I said, it’s the change that I needed.

So bottom line, I’m happy. I’m adjusting to my new life. To being home and cooking nightly and being able to plan things on the weekend without planning 3 months in advance. I still plan 3 months in advance, because that’s just me, but not having to build a work schedule around it is nice. I am back at the gym, and looking forward to fitting into my clothes again.

So stick with me, we are going to restart this blog, but it’s going to be fun. Thanks for reading, and I’d love to know what you’d like to see here. Anything in particular?
