About Me
Yes, I want to lose weight and yes I’ve been overweight since 3rd grade. I eat too much and I don’t exercise as much as I should.
But I’m learning that this isn’t what life is all about. I am no longer going to let my weight define me.
I’m no longer going use my weight as an excuse to hold me back from being happy. Sure, I want to be healthier, but deep down I just want to wear cute clothes! Don’t worry, I’m not completely superficial. I’ve always wanted to just think, “Hmm, I think I’ll go for a run,” and actually be able to do it.
So, here is how it’s going to be. This blog will be mainly for keeping myself accountable, seeing my progress and sharing this quest with the other super fantastic people out there. There may be recipes on here. There may be shopping. There will be shoes. And there will be parties.
Since I’m awful at writing “About Me” pages, I’ll just throw out some random things:
- I am a Leo and I’m learning to embrace this again. I feel I’ve lost my lion
- I believe in magic. I love all things supernatural and I love scary movies as long as I’m safe and sound in the comfort of my cozy, ghost-free home
- I do not believe in love at first sight. I mean, really? No.
- I love being outside, but I have gotten out of the habit of being outside because of allergies and what else? My weight! (Pesky devil)
- I love the beach and I love the smell of seafood
- I’m allergic to shellfish…
- I love travelling
- I love dogs and feel that cats are just snooty
- I have four dogs: Petie (indoor Yorkie) Mr. Darcy, Bridget and Emma (outdoor Golden Retrievers)
- I have two outdoor cats: Stallie/Stallone (16-year-old Tabby. Her brother was called Sylvester. Har har) and Lafayette (6 month old Black cat)
- I feel nostalgic when I see or read anything during the 1940s-1950s, 1300s Europe (um odd much?) and when I was in England
- I love the smell of clean sheets
- I sometimes sneak out to the farm truck to and smell the steering wheel because even after 16 years, it still smells like my granddad
- Fall is my favorite season
- I believe Halloween should be celebrated year round
- I love lying in the sun
- I love lying in the moonlight
- I laugh at inappropriate times
- I can have sudden mood swings
- I’ve always wanted to be an archaeologist
- I’m 60% realistic and try hard to hide that I’m 92% romantic
- I’m blonde, like, oh my god!
- I love babies, but only when they’re fun and do something other than cry and poop. I’m strong enough to admit this.
- I was born in Georgia and moved to Oklahoma when I was nine. I somehow escaped with a not too terrible accent
- I have to sleep with a fan running and a sound machine
- I’d marry U2. I love them that much.
- Flat, hot coke (Coke=all drinks, it’s not just a Coke. “Hey Andy, get me a coke.” “What kind?” “Diet Dr. Pepper.” I can’t call it pop. Sorry Oklahoma, Georgia wins on this one).

- My safe place is in a hammock on a beach
- I’d marry Jane Austen. I love her that much.

- I’m left-handed
- I contantly battle with chewing my nails
- I sleep surrounded by pillows because I think a little boy will touch me in my sleep
- I sometimes wish I had red hair
- I perform on Broadway every time I take a shower (I’ve been Elphaba for the past 13 months)
