About This Blog in 292 Words

I'm a girl. An old girl, I feel sometimes. Like many women, I reinvent myself when life calls, or in some cases begs for it. I lived in Paris (oui, je parle couramment le francais), and on the east coast with a high paying job in publishing. I've been to dozens of places, but I moved back to my conservative middle-America hometown a few years ago, thinking it would be a step towards settling down, you know smelling the roses or what the hell ever. My mind novelized thoughts of a driveway, and a dog, and tons of free parking, being closer to family, and the chance to be a big fish in a little pond (at least that's what everyone kept saying, and it sounded cute). 

Turns out, I feel more like a piranha in an aquarium; and settling isn't really my thing. I'm getting married this year (to someone who doesn't easily settle either, so that's good). We may eventually have a family too, but that doesn't mean that I'll ever be fully content with scheduling play dates and discussing tips on potty training. Adding to my Pinterest boards on Wedding Planning is fine, but let's keep it all in perspective. So that's it. I want to write and this is my outlet to create stories and anecdotal works.

They will be chronicles of my perspective—on life, relationships, the roles women play, and all the wonders of this inherently fine world, for better or worse. I'm not sure if anyone will read them or appreciate them, but that's not why I am posting. Although, I would welcome constructive feedback. It has been said that the audience finds the writer. So in the meantime, I will dream and play, and reinvent myself a little each time.
