Which seems sooo much older than 33. Because it's close to 35, which is almost 40. I sense those of you who are closer to 40 (or beyond it) rolling your eyes. In fact, I can see future 39 year old me reading this and rolling my eyes. Stop that right now!!
I used to blog a lot (I'd link the blog, but it's now private, so that would just be annoying), and I loved it. I know blogging is less popular now, and the kids of today are using Snapchat, Youtube, and I'm sure some other things I've never even heard of. But, I'm not a kid, so I'll do what makes me happy, thankyouverymuch.
Speaking of that, that's the reason I started this blog in the first place. I was being all introspective on 'the big day', and realized that the last few years have been rather, blah. Gray, if you will.
I looked back at old blog posts and thought about how much more exciting I was. And then realized that it wasn't really true - I just spent a lot more time doing things that made me happy. And I don't do that anymore. Or if I do, I'm not intentional about preserving the memories. So, this year, the year of 34, I'm going to do that. And capture the memories here. And if it only serves to interest me, and to galvanize me into doing things that make me happy, so be it.
If it serves to inspire/interest/amuse anyone else in the process? Icing on the cake.
So who am I?
I'm Rebecca. 34. Single. Christian. Trying to love myself just as I am, while daily improving my imperfections (and dear Lord, is that difficult - I find it very challenging to love something that I think desperately needs to change *cough* extra 30 pounds *cough* *cough*).
I tend to fall for something, and fall hard. I'll obsess over something for a couple of weeks/months, and then drop it like it never existed - probably because I've found something new to obsess over. So, I will chronicle these things here. Perhaps this will allow me to be more balanced in my likes/obsessions. Perhaps not.
So what are these obsessions/likes/habits/adventures that make me happy?
Disclaimer: these are subject to change/total abandonment at any moment
- Reading
- Shopping
- Meal planning/cooking
- Teaching Sunday School
- Singing (in the car, in a choir, at church; in the shower, at work...basically, anywhere)
- Shoes
- Makeup (and watching beauty channels on Youtube)
- Netflix
- Road trips
- Going on adventures with my almost 11-year-old niece
- Writing
- Wine
- Foodtrucks
- Coffee
- Buying magazines (but not necessarily reading them - I have a problem...)
My plan for this blog is to do anything I want. Really descriptive, I know. I will probably attempt many things before I find my groove. Or my groove might be randomly posting whatever I want. We shall see.
Want to join in on the fun? Please stay. Comment. Or don't. Whatever :)
Think I'm boring/annoying/ugly/weird/talk about "insert word here" too much/any other unflattering/critical word you can think of? Please leave.
The internet is a vast, weird, quirky, and very free space. I'm sure you can find some other corner of the interwebs that meets your approval, and leave me to mine.
I am planning on having pictures on this blog, but the technical dunce in me is having a very hard time importing photos from her iPhone (which is currently my only camera). One day, when I have the time and/or motivation, I will figure it out. Or buy a real camera (let's be real, this is probably what will happen...)
